NEW MEMBER APPLICATION PACKET
Dear Membership Applicant:
On behalf of the Officers and membership of the Olympia Yacht Club (OYC) we want to THANK YOU for your interest in Olympia Yacht Club Membership. Formed in 1904, OYC is one of Puget Sound’s oldest Yacht Clubs and has remained in its original location. OYC is steeped in history, strong community participation and pleasure boating traditions. Our goal is to provide our members a safe, secure and user friendly yacht basin for your boating pleasures. The success and future of our Yacht Club is a direct result of membership participation and working in a cooperative effort towards common goals.
You will find, among other documents, a copy of the club by-laws, rules, and requirements within this Membership Application Packet. It is the Membership Committee’s desire to provide all prospective new members complete information pertaining to our procedures and operations of our club and assist you in becoming a valued and long term member. We recommend you read through the material contained in this Packet. This will give you the opportunity to be better informed, ensure this is a good fit for you and help in some of the questions you may have in the membership process.
To help new members get acquainted, you will have the opportunity during the process to participate in some get-to-know-you activities and with your sponsor’s help learn about what OYC does and how you can be involved. We count on the active participation of both new and existing members in our continued efforts to make Olympia Yacht Club a solid member of the community and a pleasure boat family.
The membership process includes your application, a tour of the Mainstation and docks, an interview and orientation, Board of Trustees approval and general membership vote on each applicant. The final event is your induction and introduction to the membership during a dinner meeting. The entire time — line is generally a 60 to 90 day process. While this may take a little time, just remember OYC is a social club first and foremost, and this process was established in thebest interest of the OYC membership and you. During this time we encourage you to join with your sponsors, as a guest at various social events.

SOME REMINDERS TO HELP IN THE MEMBERSHIP PROCESS
You must become a member before you can moor a boat or take ownership of a boat or boathouse moored at the Olympia Yacht Club. If you are purchasing a boat and/or boathouse moored at OYC, it is recommended your purchase be based on your becoming a member. A new moorage agreement is required before you take position of a boat or boathouse that is currently moored at OYC.
During the application process the current member must be present when you are on the docks, boathouses or boats. lf you want to become a liveaboard you must receive prior Board approval.
By following the steps above and asking for clarification of your questions during your membership interview, most of the common problems that can have a negative effect on your membership application can be eliminated.
The Membership Chair and the Moorage Master can provide you with the most current information on bylaws and rules regarding your membership and obtaining moorage.
Our goal is to assist you in a smooth membership process.
