Members are free to use the boats throughout the year and there is no extra cost if you sail more than 150 hours.

There are three different types of membership:

• Regular Membership: A single person who, after being checked out, is eligible to sign out boats.
• Family Membership: A couple living at the same address who will be primarily sailing together may join as a family. Ether member, after being checked out, may sign out a boat. Refer to the SOP for more details.
• Crew Membership: A single person who is not eligible to sign out boats but may go out on the boats as crew/guest an unlimited number of times.

• All members are expected to assist in the running of the co-op and maintenance of the boats. Members should plan on contributing 20 hours of work to the co-op over the year. This work can be in the form of working on the boats or performing any of the other administrative work required to run the co-op.
• Members who would prefer not to take part in the boat maintenance or otherwise contribute their time to the running of the co-op can opt out of the work requirement by paying an addition yearly fee of $400 (20 hours @ $20/hr).

Fees:

• Annual regular membership: $800
• Annual family membership: $1,100
• Annual crew membership: $300
• One time joining fee for regular and family membership: $400
• One time joining fee for crew membership: $100

Someone with a crew membership may upgrade to a regular membership at any time at which time the difference in the joining fees will also be due.

$800 comes to less than $70/month, you are probably paying more than that for your cell phone!
(And there are no roaming charges.)

There is a more extended description of how this co-op works under "About Us".
