The Amateurs is welcoming new members
You’ll be joining a diverse group of sailors of who enjoy sailing on a wide variety of yachts; our fleet includes competitive racers, twilight racers, cruisers, classic timber yachts and even a few motorboats. At the SASC we’re an unpretentious bunch of people who share a love of boats, being afloat and socialising at a very special little club that’s been a big part of Sydney Harbour for nearly 150 years.
As well as offering Full Membership, it’s easy to become part of the club with an option called Crew Member. If you live outside Sydney you can join the SASC as a Country/Absentee Member. Partners of Full Members can join as Associate Members and of course we welcome Youth Members. All Memberships include an Australian Sailing number, which is required for all skippers and crew when racing.
If you’re not ready to join the club yet, you can crew on a racing yacht with our Sail Pass, which will provide you with an AS number and basic insurance cover. Click SailPass to buy now.
