Membership
Thank you for your interest in Lake Norman Yacht Club! Know that you are always welcome to join us on Lake Norman for a visit, tour, race, or just a friendly chat over a cozy club dinner.
If you aren't ready to join yet but want additional information, drop us a note on the contact us form and we'll get back with you.
Our application process consists of a series of steps that begin right here. You will need to create an account first if you don't already have one with an email and password that will later be used to guide you through the process. Click the Join link, or click the word join at the top right portion of the screen. You will be presented with green "login"and a "create an account" button(s). Select the green "Create an account" button. Once your account is set up, fill out the Application document as completely as possible. Most of the questions are straightforward, with the exception of Membership type.
Resident membership includes the ability to dry store one sailboat on the property and voting rights. If you plan to do so, select the Resident Membership type applicable to your age.
An Associate membership is less expensive but does not permit storage of property on the grounds, leasing of slips, camp sites etc., nor does it include voting rights. As your needs change, you can change your membership type.
We need your address information in the application. Include a little bio about your goals and interests in joining LNYC; more detail allows us to better know you. If you have a family and look to involve them, let us know. The club has all levels of sailors from beginners to US Sailing Certified Judges. ALL ARE WELCOME AT LNYC, and many started not knowing how to sail! Give us your background so we can help you meet your membership goals whether it be to learn our great sport or run races for the club.
Select the appropriate topic areas that represent your interests in joining LNYC
Don't forget to hit the green APPLY Button at the bottom of the page. This process will log you into the site and the PORTAL option top right will become visible. Go into the Portal, then select My Profile. Complete as much of the application as possible, e.g., emergency contact info, phone numbers, D.O.B etc. That's it! Remember LNYC is a volunteer organization so expect a couple-day lead time until Kerrie or someone from the membership committee gets back with you.
There is no fee to apply.
LNYC has financial plans for almost any budget. If you have any questions before you submit an application, please contact our Membership Director, Kerrie Lalli, at: memberatlarge@lnyc.org. Kerrie will answer questions, arrange a visit and ultimately help welcome you into our LNYC Sailing family!
