After this one-month period, your membership fee becomes non-refundable.

Refund policy: As a rule, we do not offer refunds on current memberships. However, if your reasons are medical or particularly extenuating, you may petition the board to review your request for a refund.

Penalty policy for late payment: If membership or boat storage is not completed in the 3 months following the registration, we apply a graduated penalty policy (see the complete fees grid).

Membership Renewal

Members need to renew their membership on April 1^st in the current year. You are not allowed on the water if you have not renewed your membership and paid your fees. If you go on the water without having renewed your membership you face sanctions.

Summer memberships

The recreational and competitive programs offer a summer membership for members who use the equipment and facilities between April 1^st and October 31^st only.

However, all members of the Club are considered annual members for club purposes (AQA/RCA, insurance, volunteering, and your presence at general assembly). If at the end of the summer, a "summer member" would like to extend their membership to an annual membership, he/she only has to subscribe the winter membership.
