MEMBERSHIP

We're actively welcoming new members. Whether you have your own boat and are looking for a small community club and some fun racing, or you're crew looking for a regular or semi-regular spot on a boat, or even if you're more shore-based but just want to take part, we'd love you to join us.

The BPYC affiliated with Australian Sailing (AS), membership of the club provides an AS number. You need an AS number for every race with us (and in fact any AS affiliated club in the country). Membership provides insurance protection for sailors via AS's Personal Accident Insurance Policy. We make an effort to try and match match boats with members whishing to crew. Finally, the club subsidises our legendary long lunches and social events for members. Membership with the BPYC is ludicrously prestigious and outrageously egalitarian.

Our fees are very reasonable, probably among the best value on Sydney harbour. There’s membership fee of annual subscription fee of only $100 for all members. Click on the ‘Membership’ button at the bottom of the page and follow the prompts for instant membership.

SAILPASS

As mentioned, all crew in races organised by AS affiliated clubs need a valid AS number. If you are not a member of an AS affiliated club, including he BPYC, but would like to compete as crew in a BPYC race, we offer the opportunity to buy a one day Sailpass. This temporary membership provides an AS number and includes insurance as above. It costs $15 per race.

Payment must be made by EFT, not cash or cheque.  Payment details are on the forms.
