Sail Now. Join later.
A BYS Sail Pass gives you access to an incredible experience.
We know that Blairgowrie Yacht Squadron is a great place to enjoy everything that a sailing club has to offer. From the experienced sailor looking to pit their skill against the best, or the family that just likes to get on the water for a bit of fun, to the member who loves the sense of community and the great member amenities, there really is something for everyone.
We understand that making the decision to join a club is a big one. It’s not just the financial commitment that can influence your decision, it’s all the little things that make a club inclusive, welcoming, and just a great place to spend time with friends and family that are so important. Perhaps that’s why our Sail Pass program is so popular.

What is Sail Pass and how can you get involved now?
Sail Pass lets you experience the thrill of being ‘crew’ on a competing yacht on race day. While that may sound serious, you can relax, it’s just a fun way to get out on the water, meet new people and see first-hand what the BYS family is all about. A Sail Pass is a temporary day membership; it allows you to join racing and access our club.
Here’s how it works.
If you are visiting for racing, you’ll need to register for a Sail Pass for the date you are attending. Perhaps you’ve been invited along by a keelboat skipper, or you are visiting with your OTB dinghy. If you’re keen to be connected with local skippers you can leave your name in advance with the Sailing Office – sailing@bys.asn.au
You can register for up to 12 Sail Pass visits. The first six are at no charge, and the second six are $15 per visit. Registration is required to conform to Australian Sailing’s racing rules and to ensure you are covered with personal insurance.
At any time during your SailPass experience you can apply for full membership and any payments that you have made will be deducted from your first-year’s subscription fee.
