Join Today!

You've checked out our training program and our sailing events, and you've figured out that PSC is the best value in recreational sailing in the area. Read on to find out how to join us. You are always welcome to come to one of our membership meetings, and to contact the Membership Commodore for more information!  For 2007, the PSC has lowered the price of the Basic Sailing Course and put together a great discount membership package for new members who join the PSC and sign up for the Basic Sailing Course at the same time.  [click here for more information of the New Membership-Basic Sailing Course Package]
