Where there is co-ownership of a sailboat by unmarried parties, one of the co-owners must be a Regular Member. If the other co-owner wishes to participate in activities of the Club other than Sunday racing, that co-owner needs to become an Associate Member.

Regular - Rack Only ($330)
There is a special kind of regular membership for an individual or family that will only be using a rack space and will not require an assigned parking space. If a "Rack Member" needs an assigned parking space, they will have priority standing over other types of membership when a space becomes available and will then pay the full regular membership amount,
