Interested in joining?
We welcome all people interested in safe cruise sailing. Our members include many old hands and also some not so old sailors, with years of experience in cruise yachting. Many of our members are families with children. We welcome families, so don't be put off, come in and join.
Those interested in the art of cruise sailing in a helpful, safe and friendly environment are most welcome. We do not race, we just do family cruise sailing in mainly enclosed waters such as the Gippsland Lakes, Westernport and/or Port Phillip Bay. Although our more experienced members often go to far off places like the Whitsundays, Fraser Island and other cruising grounds. Accordingly our fees are very modest and affordable to all, especially families. As per the name of the boat in the header photograph, it's only "Small Change."
All membership proposals may be made by completing a 'membership proposal form' You may download the membership proposal form in Adobe PDF format (download link provided below), print it at home and send it to the Membership Secretary in the mail or you may complete the online application here: online application

Social Membership:
All past members of the BTYC who have retired from sailing but wish to continue to participate in club activities, such as Winter camping getaways, and parties, may apply to be accepted as Social Members. The fee for social membership is only $40 per year and as you have been a member of the BTYC in the past, we do not require an application fee. So come on and keep in touch with your old friends and come and enjoy some of our winter camping adventures with us.
