TO APPLY FOR MEMBERSHIP

We ask for only two items:
1) A completed SBYC membership application
2) A Letter of Introduction

THE LETTER OF INTRODUCTION
This letter helps us get to know you, your boating history and your expectations for membership at SBYC.

SPONSORSHIP
Application for membership requires two Active or Senior Active members that are in good standing and have been members of the club for at least one year to serve as your sponsors. If you are new to the area or just do not know of any members for sponsorship, contact the Rear Commodore and arrange a meeting at the club. We would love to meet you, give you a tour, tell you about the club. That way we can get to know each other.

VOLUNTEERISM!
We are a dynamic organization with a wide variety of boating and social activities. Though we have a professional club manager and house staff, this is a volunteer organization. Our flag officers and directors are volunteers. Committee members are volunteers.  Regatta and race management, early bird dinners, die hard dinners, coordination of cruising activities – all volunteer. We love boating and we love the camaraderie of a group dedicated to boating. Member participation is how this all works. The application has a section for you to share your volunteer interest and skills.
