Full Membership Privileges & Benefits<\/h1>\n

In addition to providing support to the club, it’s members and the sailing & wider local communities, membership of Elwood Sailing Club entitles Members to participate in the full sailing and social activities of the club, access to the club rooms (unless event in progress) and facilities such as the kitchen, barbeque, change rooms, showers, toilets and boat & board storage via an electronic fob. Members are also eligible to store boats, sailboards and related sailing equipment in the boatshed, subject to availability and storage policies (below).<\/p>\n

Members may also\u00a0use the clubrooms for private functions Club sponsors may also offer\u00a0discounts and special deals on\u00a0goods & services to members.<\/p>\n

Elwood Sailing Club is a member of Australian Sailing. The club pays affiliation fees to support these organisations in their activities in organising, representing and promoting sailing at all levels. ESC Club Membership provides you with registration with Australian Sailing via your AS Number, which generally allows holders associate\/visitor rights to other AS affiliated clubs in order to participate in social activities, club racing & regattas. It also entitles access to the AS Benefits program which includes personal accident insurance cover whilst engaged in sailing activities and many other benefits.<\/p>\n

<\/a>Boat Storage<\/h1>\n

Boat & Board storage is available for financial Senior, Family & Life members on an annual basis with boat storage preference given under the following priorities;<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Sponsored Classes<\/li>\n
  2. Potential Sponsored Classes ( i.e. Class with more than 3 boats regularly sailing at ESC)<\/li>\n
  3. Growing Class (i.e. Class with 2 boats regularly sailing)<\/li>\n
  4. Sole boat<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    A Sponsored Class is defined as ‘a\u00a0class of boat regularly racing at ESC with an average racing fleet of 10 boats or 10 members, or a class of boat designated by the General Committee that has the capability to grow to average fleet of 10 boats or 10 members.<\/strong><\/p>\n

    After boat storage applications have been received and the available space required\/available per class decided by General Committee, boat storage racks will be allocated to qualifying members based on a\u00a0storage points system<\/strong>, ratified by the Storage Officer annually, as follows:<\/p>\n

    1 point \u2013 Attending a race day in the last 3 seasons as either helm or crew<\/p>\n

    2 points \u2013\u00a0Doing rostered\u00a0duty on a race day in the last 3 seasons<\/p>\n

    Failure to\u00a0\u00a0 attend the club\u00a0 for duty when rostered, will require the member to perform their duty role on the next subsequent race day of attendance at the club.<\/p>\n

    Storage points<\/strong>\u00a0will be calculated using information stamped on the Race Card . On a race day Race Cards should be placed in the entry box before the yacht leaves the beach, after which the Tower Officer will collect all Race Cards from the box and stamp the date on the card. If the member is rostered for duty that day, the Race Card should be left on the duty sign-on book in the Tower where the date and “Duty” will be stamped underneath by the Tower Officer.<\/p>\n

    Junior Member boat storage<\/strong>\u00a0is also available and will be granted at the discretion of the General Committee. Junior boat storage will be ongoing provided the junior sails & races regularly, and storage priority will be based on the storage points system.<\/p>\n

    <\/a>Windsurf and Wing Storage<\/strong><\/h1>\n

    ESC has 51 storage lockers of various sizes (Short, Long & Wide) available to ESC members for board storage. storage lockers will be allocated on an annual basis by the Sailboard Officer, based on prior seasons storage allocation and the members participation in club and association events.<\/p>\n

    BACK TO TOP<\/a><\/h3>\n

    Storage conditions and agreement<\/strong><\/h1>\n

    A condition of storage at ESC is that the member agrees to remove their boat\/board and associated equipment within 30 days of written notice from the General Committee. Failure to remove as requested may result with confiscation and sale of all equipment by the club. Members with boat storage or race entry cards will also have their names included on the duty roster.<\/p>\n
