Join the Bayview Yacht Racing Association
The Bayview Yacht Racing Association (BYRA) is a vibrant, community-based club.
If you are considering getting into sailing, why not visit us on a Sunday morning to see the different boats we sail up close - our members are always keen to answer questions and show you the ropes.
You can even arrange to go out on a patrol boat or the committee boat to watch the sailing school or racing up close.

- A Twilight Yacht Racing series

We are always looking for new members and we would love to hear from you. Contact us if you are interested in learning more about BYRA or want to discuss joining up.
Or, if you have already made up your mind, complete the forms listed below and email or post them to us. Alternatively, why not drop in for a chat (Sunday mornings are best) and deliver them in person. That will give you a chance to look around, meet us, and to get an idea of what we're all about.
We offer a range of membership options to suit all levels of involvement.
Senior Sailing Membership |
Senior membership is for individuals aged 18 years or older. Senior members tend to have their own boats which they either store at the club or keep at home and bring along each Sunday. |
Junior Sailing Membership |
Persons aged less than 18 years on September 1st are eligible for Junior membership. This category provides all the benefits of Senior Membership. |
Family Membership |
Our Family Membership provides a cost-effective means for members of the same immediate family to join BYRA. |
Associate Membership |
Associate Membership is for non-racing members who do not intend to own, skipper or crew a boat registered with BYRA. This membership category is effectively for social members. |
