The West Vancouver Yacht Club welcomes applicants of all ages and as demonstrated elsewhere in this site has many programs and opportunities for all.

A new members information and application kit can be obtained by contacting the Club office.

The membership application form is simple to complete and requires that you have two existing members complete the sponsor section. Should you be new to the area and not know two Club members to sponsor you the Club requires a letter of reference from a previous private club association and a Business reference, or a person with a professional designation such as engineer, doctor, or accountant.

A deposit of not less than $1000 is required to accompany the application, plus the taxes due on the  total entrance fee payable regardless of choosing the payment plan option.

All applicants are first contacted by the Membership Secretary then presented to the Board for first approval. At that time, applicants' names are posted to the Club notice Board and to the Club newsletter The Foghorn.  References are also checked.

Second and final review follows thirty days later or at the next regularly scheduled Board meeting. Please note there are no Board meetings in July and August.

Soon after, you will be contacted to confirm your acceptance; at that time you may begin enjoying your new Club.

A new member package will follow shortly thereafter. This will contain much information and several important documents that you should review and/or complete and return to the Club office.

These include:

A change of Status from: this will enable you to change from Associate to Active status. Please note that only Active members may vote at Club general meetings.

An electronic payment form for Direct Debit or Visa/MC auto payments for your monthly account. All new members are required to be on this plan.
