Become a Founding Member
To launch our non-profit mission, we are inviting a limited number of passionate sailors to join us as Founding Members. This is a unique opportunity to provide essential seed funding while securing flexible access to sailing for seasons to come.
Instead of a traditional subscription, think of your membership as a bank of sailing months. An 18-month membership, for example, gives you 18 individual months of sailing access that you can schedule whenever you wish during our active seasons (a month is the minimum unit). Your upfront commitment is crucial for helping us get started.
Financial accessibility matters to us. If the suggested contributions don't match up with your situation, please use our Pay What You Can option when you select your membership level below. You can contribute a lower amount that is affordable, or a higher amount if you're able. Both options support our mission.
As a Founding Member, you can
- Choose the number of months you'd like to 'bank' for use over time
- Help shape the platform we're building for inclusive offshore sailing
- Participate in member-driven sailing adventures and learning opportunities
All membership levels include a Pay What You Can option during checkout.
