Membership Benefits
Lake Mayer is the ideal location for first time, novice and youth sailors.
Scheduled open sail dates will be posted on our calendar during the year at our Lake Mayer facility for skill
certified members. Certified members must register with our office administrator on designated dates and pay a
$10 fee for boat utilization (parents must remain on the premises for members 8-13 years of age). There will be
a US Sailing Certified Instructor and safety boat on the water during open sail.
Sailing instruction at a reduced rate.
Discounts at Sail Harbor Marina.
Types of Membership
Senior is an adult over the age of 64.
Single is an adult between the ages of 18 through 64.
Student is defined as an individual attending school between the ages of 8 through 26 and is not a member of a
SSC sponsored high school/college sailing team.
High school /college sailing team is defined as an individual that is an active participant in weekly team
practices during the school year. This also includes a family membership.

Restrictions and Obligations
Members are subject to all rules and regulations of the Lake Mayer Community Park.

Members with prior sailing experience may register with our office administrator to take the Skills Test for
$40.00 to become certified in the boat you are tested in (options include 420, Sunfish, Opti or Harpoon).
Members with little or no sailing experience must first take lessons and complete the basic beginner skills as set
forth by US Sailing prior to taking the Skills Test for certification at SSC. (*1st time failure to pass the Skills
Test- members will be able to schedule a 2nd try at no additional cost)
Team Lessons/Saturday Lessons/Summer Camp and Open Sail dates are subject to cancellation due to the lack
of students, safety issues, weather conditions or as the Board of Directors deems necessary.
Boats and equipment are available on a first registered first serve basis with the exception of scheduled
instruction, events, and regattas.
Volunteering is an excellent way to learn about race organizing and other facets of sailing management.
Senior, Adult, Student, and Family memberships are annual from date of registration.
High School/College team memberships are annual from August 15th through August 14th of the next year (No
Pro-ration). Coaching begins in August and ends in May.
