Membership
Benefits:
Members enjoy weekend and some weekday cruises, PHRF racing both short course and day races, as well as social events through the year.
Full membership also includes reciprocal docking privileges at many yacht clubs on both sides of Lake Ontario and throughout the Thousand Islands.
All members receive a monthly copy of our newsletter “Collins Mixer” throughout the sailing season and a discount to the Sailing School.
We own a floating clubhouse which is available for members use.
There are 4 levels of membership:
- Full Membership is open to families who keep their boat at Collins Bay Marina
- Associate Membership for families who do not keep a boat at the marina
- Youth/ Student Membership for those under 20 or who are full-time students
- Sustaining Membership for those full members who, for whatever reason, will be away from Collins Bay Marina for one or more years but who wish to maintain their membership (without club privileges)
Full membership includes participation in the reciprocal program and voting privileges in club decisions. Senior members of Executive must be full members. Associate, Student and Sustaining members do not participate in the reciprocal program and cannot vote.
Fees:
The club itself owns no docks or facilities other than the clubhouse. Slips, boat storage, launch etc. are managed by Collins Bay Marina, and are not included in our fees.
