Membership Costs & Information
Welcome to Lane Cove 12ft Sailing Skiff Club. Membership helps support our club with costs such as insurance, rates, repairs and maintenance of the facilities and boats. More people contributing via membership will help us keep the cost of membership down.
Parents we encourage you to please sign up as an Associate, non sailing member or as a supporter, the club offers such fantastic facilities in a stunning location. What is a better way to spend the day than relaxing out on the deck or on the water.
Please be sure to have your Active Kid’s voucher, Boat Licence and RSA numbers handy to include in your registration. Our club is run totally by volunteers. We would like to know how you can assist with the running of the Club by volunteering in some capacity. Sailors we also want to know your boat name and sail number.
Families we need each person in your family to register individually, and please include boat name, sail number, boat registration, class registration, and storage with each individual sailor.

Boat Details
For each individual boat that is sailed by a member we will be asking for:

Club Boat registration fee:
The Club Boat registration fee of $50 is payable on all boats sailing at the Club. The Club Boat registration fee is payable once per season per boat only. This fee helps cover costs for providing race management and on water support vessels.
Class Registration and Association fee:
All boats sailing at the Club must be registered with the relevant class association. Ordinarily that fee is payable to the Club, and the Club pays the fee to the class association and formalises the registration. Class association fees for the season are:
Boat Storage
If you would like to store a boat at the Club, it must be a registered boat, actively sailing and storage fees must be paid. Please note the Club cannot guarantee that storage will be available. If you do not already have your boat stored at the club, contact your class secretary to find out about availability.
The Club rules state that a boat shall cease to be eligible for Club shed space when it has failed to compete in three consecutive pointscore races. The committee has resolved that in the coming season this rule will be strictly enforced where classes have a waiting list. To find out more please read the LC12ftSSC Boat Storage Protocol.
Class secretary email addresses: 12footers@lc12ftssc.org.au, cherubs@lc12ftssc.org.au, lasers@lc12ftssc.org.au, FlyingElevens@lc12ftssc.org.au, sabots@lc12ftssc.org.au
Boats stored at LC12’SSC are not covered by the club’s insurance policy. For the benefit of boat owners and other sailors LC12’SSC recommends all boats should carry $5,000,000 third party liability insurance as a minimum.

A trophy can be named after a business or a worthy cause. Each class is seeking weekly trophies plus contributions toward the season handicap point score, fastest time point score and/or Club Championship trophy. Trophies costs are:
