Membership
Membership of the Sydney Flying Squadron lets you sail, or simply enjoy the club, its restaurant and its bar on the best corner of Sydney Harbour. Four categories, annual, and every fee published here to everyone. Sailing, Club and Social members save 10% on food and drinks, for the whole table when the member pays.

Why members pay less at the bar
The restaurant and the bar are the main support of the sailing club, and members carry the club, so Sailing, Club and Social members save 10% on food and drinks, for the entire table when the member pays. Deck Membership is free and carries no discount. The gap between the public price and the member price is published on every price the club shows: it is the argument for joining, not a secret.
If you sail, Sailing Membership is the way in, and Australian Sailing membership comes with it. If you want a full voice in the club without racing, Club Membership carries a vote at the club's general meetings. If you live nearby, Deck Membership is free and takes a minute.
