Balmoral Sailing Club welcomes new members.
The club has five major membership categories. We encourage membership of families and our fees are structured to ensure that all members of a family can afford to participate as members with the Club.
The club also has a temporary membership category, SailPass, for someone who wants to sail with the club for up to three days in a season.
Only financial members of BSC can compete and be awarded points in the club's sailing events.
There is a Senior and Junior Boat Owner’s fee which covers all your weekly race entry fees.
