Discount card – sailing membersnreceive our discount card, which gives up to 10% off many goods and services in LYH and beyond e.g. LYH hoist charges, Largs Chandlers, etc. Full details here.

Dinghy berthage – our dinghy park is almost full, so please contact the office (see below) to check we have a space for you

Communications – are by e-mail, unless the postal supplement is paid.

Payment methods – bank transfer is our preferred method for members to pay annual subscriptions and berthage. We also offer monthly subscriptions, by direct debits through GoCardless (only, please – no other payment system works for monthly DD's), which allows members to spread their membership costs over the year. DD payments are taken on the first of the month. Members paying by DD must commit to all 12 monthly payments. No payment breaks of less than one year are allowed.

Guests – our licence requires that all guests must be signed in when in the clubhouse. Note that any one guest can only be signed in a maximum of 5 times in the membership year (Mar-Feb).

Some "small print" – by applying for membership, or renewing your membership, you agree to abide by our Club Management Rules (see here), including rules regarding storage of boats or equipment on Club premises, and when racing to have third party insurance to the value of at least £2,000,000.

Room hire – members can book our Lookout Lounge and Hems Kalis room for functions and events. Contact our office administrator Julia Gibson (secretary@largssc.co.uk, 01475 670000) to discuss.
