Fees are payable on application: $20.00 per club race day OR multi-day regatta. This fee provides Personal Accident Insurance for the period of the application.
On submission of the online application and payment of the relevant fee, AS will issue an AS number which will enable the sailor to complete in the designated event for the duration of the application. The Sail Pass is only current for the period/event applied for in the application. It is NOT an appliction for regular membership.
