He or she cannot vote at General Meetings and may not hold office. This is an annual membership that expires at the end of each year. After two consecutive years of membership, an Associate Member may apply for Senior Membership and can apply 66% of dues previously paid towards the initiation fee and, after 15 consecutive years, can apply 100% of dues previously paid to the initiation fee.

Additional Requirements

Program Terms*

In the current season after much discussion and consideration, it has been decided that a $250.00 (plus HST) fee will be required of new members to have a one-time ride check on Sea Key (or her replacement) and or Voila (defined as a supervised ride with a qualified instructor to confirm skill levels). Please refer to the Co-Op membership policy and procedure manual for guidance. If you are new to the ABYC Co-op membership please only pay for the $250 ride check plus HST for now. Once you have passed your ride check the balance of your membership will be due.

For new 2024 applicants the link will be up once we have our returning members registered.

There are additional fees for ride checks for each of the following Destinee and Enigma. These two boats require further qualifications. Delphinus requires you to have Intermediate Cruising or the equivalent. Members may be required to have further instruction.

Certifications*

Please remember that Transport Canada requires by law that the operator of a power vessel have a Proof Of Competency. If you are the person in charge of the vessel, you are the operator. As such, you need to have obtained either Basic Cruising or a Pleasure Craft Operator Card. ABYC is in Toronto Harbour. The Toronto Harbour regulations require you to have your Power Vessel Operator Permit (aka the Harbour License). As the operator of the vessel and as a resident of the Harbour, if you get pulled over by the police, you will need to show them your proof of competency and your harbour license. ABYC also requires you to have your Basic Cruising and the Radio Operator Certificate (aka VHF radio) to be the operator of the vessel. We will ask you to send copy of Basic Cruising and ROC with your application. If you do not have Basic Cruising, please provide additional information demonstrating your boat handling proficiency for consideration. For those currently in the process of obtaining their Radio Operator Certificate, please let us know and we will see if temporary accommodation can be made. Send in your Radio Operator Certificate with your application. Send in your Basic Cruising or provide additional information demonstrating your boat handling proficiency for consideration.

I acknowledge the certification statement.
