Joining Washington Yacht Club

We try to make it as cheap and easy as possible!

Membership Requirements

Membership is open to all students, faculty, and staff of the University of Washington, as well as members of the UW Alumni Association.  Spouses of current WYC members can also join.

Becoming a Member

There are two convenient locations to pay membership dues and become a member - the HUB ticket office, and the yacht club office (HUB SB-24) during office hours.  Bring your student, faculty, staff, or alumni ID to one of these offices, pay the appropriate fees, fill out the forms, and you will be issued a yacht club membership card.

Membership Fees

Initiation fees are required for new members and members who have let their membership expire for more than one quarter.

Category Initiation Fee Quarterly Dues Annual Dues
Student $25 $40 $120
Faculty / Staff $45 $75 $225
Alumni $45 (not available) $225

Spouses of WYC members may join the club by paying the same dues as their spouse.  Spouses do not pay initiation fees.

Boat On The Lawn

Boat On The Lawn is our once a quarter membership recruiting drive.  We put a sailboat (usually a colorful catamaran) on the HUB lawn at the beginning of each quarter and try to sign up lots of new members.  Boat On The Lawn is also typically the first day of lesson signups.
