First, get the AMYA document on running a model yacht club . All three members should sign the letter and include their AMYA member number. You must submit the full contact information for one AMYA member who will become the official contact for the club. Additionally, we would like an email address for someone who can get late-breaking news to the club. Becoming an AMYA sanctioned club means you get the AMYA working for you in membership recruitment, product development, and regulatory areas.
Every new member gets a list of sanctioned clubs .
These are your most natural source of new members. Furthermore, the AMYA publishes the list of sanctioned clubs widely , including on the Internet, so even non-members who are interested can locate you and join your activity. In product development, the AMYA works with manufacturers to try to ensure that equipment appropriate for sailing is produced. We do this mainly by getting them exposure to our membership base and letting them know there is a market. They understand that not every potential customer is an AMYA member, but that clubs have tens and sometimes hundreds of members, AMYA or not.
