Additional Information about Membership:
Application Fee
A non-refundable $25 "filing fee" will accompany all applications for
membership. This fee will be applied to the initiation fee upon joining
the Club. Applications for membership will be considered in the order of
their receipt.
Initiation Fee and Bond
When there is a vacancy, the applicant at the head of the waiting
list will be invited to membership and will be asked to make an appointment
to be introduced to members of the CYC Board. The initiation fee is $300
plus $27.75 state service tax (less the $25 non-refundable application fee) and
the membership certificate is a $230 Bond, which sum together comes to
$505.00 and is payable when the applicant is introduced to the CYC
Board of Directors. At this time, annual dues are also payable; however, the
dues are pro-rated from the first month of membership through the end of the
calendar year. The Board meets the second Tuesday evening of each
month. Upon resignation from the Club the Bond is repurchased from the
holder.
Annual Dues
Active members dues are $320 plus $29.60 tax per year, and are billed in
January. New members obligate themselves to pay at least one full year's dues
regardless of the length of their tenure in the Club.
Work Hours
In addition to annual dues, each active membership in CYC contributes
ten (10) "work" hours of service annually; members may elect to pay
$20 per hour in lieu of hours not served. Work hours are credited for
services such as work parties (usually during the month of March),
committee work (social, telephone, etc.), or assistance with regattas
and social events.

Other Policies
Orientation. Initiates are asked to attend the next new-member orientation
session; this instruction is offered early in the spring and fall of
each year.
Race Committee Duty. In addition to work hours members serve on race committee duty once each year during the high-water racing season (April through October). Prior race committee experience is not required. Members may elect to pay $50 in lieu of race committee duty.
Sailboat Ownership. Concord Yacht Club promotes the sport of sailing as in racing, cruising, and day sailing. Although most members own their own sailboat (individually or in partnership with another member), ownership of a sailboat is not required. For a modest annual fee members may join the JY 15 fleet and sail one of the Club-owned boats.
Sailboat parking. All boat spaces at CYC are assigned on a
seniority basis. CYC offers dry racks for small boats, parking spaces
for trailerable boats, summer docks for boats over 2000 pounds
displacement, year-round moorings, and year-round floating docks
(extra fee) for auxiliary boats. Prospective applicants will want
to ask about space availability, for membership in CYC does not guarantee
the opportunity to keep one's boat on the premises.
