All members join as Associates, pay the same dues, receive the 50-page monthly Bulletin, and partake in all of the organization's functions. Those members who have lived aboard their cruising sailboat for at least a year, have fulfilled a sailing distance requirement, and who have been sponsored by current Commodores, may be elected as voting members or Commodores . If a Commodore no longer resides on his boat for more than three months he becomes a Rear Commodore and retains the voting privileges. Associates fly a navy blue pennant, with a red and white shield.
Commodores fly a red swallowtail burgee, with a similar shield.
Rear Commodores fly an identical burgee to the Commodores, except there is an added white star in the lower red field. Secure On-line Application Form that you can complete and submit over the Internet.
