Benefits of Membership
Clubhouse and Facility Use
Members are welcome to enjoy the Clubhouse and facilities at their leisure. Membership rights are subject to any conditions specified in the Club's bylaws and described in the Club Rules so be sure to review these often. We encourage all members and guests to review the Sharing the Facilities guidelines.
Membership Discounts
Full Members receive discounts on services and offerings at the Calgary Yacht Club. This includes:
- 10% off sailing courses
- 10% off private lessons
- 20% off facility bookings
- 20% off merchandise
BOAT AND TRAILER STORAGE
The Club has space for you to store your sailboat. Costs for annual boat storage range from:
- $125.00 for a boat on a dolly such as a Laser, Byte or Optimist. These dollies can launch boats by hand.
- $360.00 for a single vehicle-accessible trailer parking spot. These trailers require a vehicle to launch boats and, therefore, take up much more room than the dolly spots
- $50/month for winter storage of trailered boats to the general public from October to May.
Costs are subject to GST.
Reciprocal Privileges
An individual from another sailing club or organization may be granted temporary membership privileges if:
- the individual is a member of a club or organization recognized by an international, national, regional, provincial, or state organizing body for sailing; and
- the club or organization of which the applicant is a member has a reciprocal provision that would allow full members of the Calgary Yacht Club to access privileges in the applicant’s club or organization.
