New at WVYC: Affiliate Membership

new at wvyc: affiliate membership!

On November 29, 2016, the membership passed the creation of an Affiliate membership category. This type of membership is ideal for someone who is keen on sailing and boating, but hasn’t yet made the decision to buy a boat. People who maybe interested in this type of membership include racing crew members, parents of junior members, friends and family of existing club members, and locals near the club.

The Affiliate member has the following privileges:

• Use the Galley and Bar
• Access the club-owned stand-up paddle boards, kayaks, and other club-owned boats
• Store a dingy on the club facilities as available due to priority assignment to moored members (a small secondary boat that does not have a permanent form of propulsion permanently attached, sail or power, that can easily be inverted and lifted onto the club storage rack by no more than two people, or fit the assigned dinghy dry space).

• Rent the Clubhouse and/or Yachting centre
• Receive Members rates for club courses
• Participate in club social events
• During your tenure as an Affiliate member ( from the day of acceptance to resignation or transfer to another class of membership) you may visit an Outstation for a maximum of 2 weekends - guest regulations apply.
• Volunteer for any and all club activities.

Affiliate members do not earn seniority, can not access moorage, and can not vote.

The Affiliate membership initiation fee is $500. The monthly dues are 60% of Active members, so approximately $65-70 per month. The minimum quarterly billing is the same as for Actives and Associates, so approximately $60 per quarter.

Should the Affiliate member decide to make the leap and move into boat ownership, we have designed an easy transition for them to Active status. This includes receiving a discount of 5% on their initiation fee per year they have been an Affiliate to a maximum of 50%. We will also give them credit for the original $500 paid.

The club has capped the number of Affiliate members at 25, so if you’re interested, please submit your application.
