Fees and Duties
After paying an initial fee to join the club, members pay an annual dues fee plus a mooring fee based on width plus length of the boat. In addition, every member must contribute Work-hours to work at the club (or pay an additional fee in lieu of hours).
For those non-boat owners wishing to access the club and partake in CYC social events, a social membership is available at a very reasonable cost.
The Club has been able to maintain its modest fee structure through cooperative work of the members. This has enabled us to build facilities at a fraction of the usual cost.

Note: Applications for boats over 40′ LOA will not be accepted.
