Apply Here for MCYS Membership
You can apply online here for either Full Membership, or Temporary "SailPass" membership in Martha Cove Yacht Squadron.
Full Membership
You can apply here online for full membership in MCYS. Applying for MCYS membership is also applying for membership in Australian Sailing, the national body governing the sport of sailing in Australia, of which MCYS is an affiliate club.
SailPass Temporary Membership
MCYS offers guests (non-members) a "SailPass" temporary day membership to be able to participate in a club Sail or Power boat event, race, cruise, Nav Rally or other on-water event on up to 6 specific dates. You get this by Registering with Australian Sailing - the governing body for Martha Cove Yacht Squadron, which administers the system.
- Non-members get a temporary MCYS membership to allow them to be a crew or a guest on a club boat participating in a club event on specific date(s)
- They are covered by Australian Sailing Personal Accident Insurance for the days nominated
- It enables skippers and crew of sail racing boats to comply with the “crew eligibility rule 46” in the new blue book
You can nominate a single day, or multiple days. MCYS allows up to 6 free SailPass days for any one person in a season. After that, in order to continue to participate with MCYS, we ask that you join the club as a Full Member.
Australian Sailing
When requesting either full or temporary MCYS Membership, you will be registering with and becoming a member of the Australian Sailing organization, the governing body for Martha Cove Yacht Squadron, which administers the membership database system. When you first do so, you will be given your own personal AS (Australian Sailing) Number.
If you later want to obtain another SailPass, or join another club, you simply apply again using your existing AS Number. If you forgot your AS number you can search for it on the Australian Sailing website here.
