SailPass Temporary Membership

CLICK HERE TO REGISTER FOR A SAILPASS

What is SailPass?

SailPass is a means by which someone who is not a member of Cleveland Yacht Club or an Australian Sailing affiliated club can enjoy sailing at Cleveland Yacht Club.
It’s a form of introductory or short-term membership to provide you coverage while learning/casual sailing or for a maximum of three race days per season.
A SailPass Temporary Membership addresses the Australian Sailing racing rules & personal insurance meaning you can come and enjoy your day!
Cleveland Yacht Club does not charge for Sailpasses, however, to save you a separate registration step, some sail passes will include the fee payment for the day.
