Member Partner Program

US SAILING’s Member Partner Program is a win-win for yacht clubs/sailing organizations and their members. 

This program, formerly known as the Golden Anchor Program, allows  you to offer your members US SAILING memberships at a reduced price, while earning valuable credits your organization can use to purchase products and services from US SAILING - all with minimal effort and resources on your part.

It’s a win-win for you, your members and US SAILING.  You are helping us promote membership that supports our programs and volunteers, while making it easy for your members to join US SAILING and see a portion of their dues come directly back to their local organization.  This is one of the ways we are strengthening our relationships with sailing organizations nationwide and contributing to the sport at a local level.

How the Member Partner Program Works: Online, Fast and Easy

Your members can quickly join or renew online, take advantage of the best prices on Sailing World and Cruising World subscriptions, receive immediate membership confirmation and access all of their benefits. Also, your members will be able to join at any time.

In addition to enhanced member services, the online process eliminates all of the administrative tasks associated with the previous Golden Anchor program. There is no need to organize member information, create rosters or collect and transfer dues. Your members will be able to access the Member Partner Program website directly and with a few clicks, join or renew their US SAILING membership. The system also automatically accrues and tracks your credits. Other than helping us communicate and promote the program to your members, there is no effort required on your part… We even assist you with the communication process. (see Toolkit below)

Benefits of the Member Partner Program for your Organization:

In addition to membership savings (20% for your members), for each person that joins or renews through your Member Partner Program, your organization earns valuable credits: 10 credits for a new member and 2.5 credits for a renewing member.

One credit is equal to $1.00 that can be used to purchase US SAILING products from our store, such as the Racing Rules of Sailing, the Handy Guide to the Racing Rules, Join the Race Committee Team publication, educational DVD’s, Championship Medals and more. Credits can also be applied to services such as:

		NSPS Registration fees
		Championship Medals
		Powerboat Instructor fees
		Instructor Certification and Recertification fee
		One-Design Sailing Symposium Registration Fees

		Youth	$20.00 (standard dues $25.00)
		Individual	$50.00 (standard dues $60.00)
		Family	$75.00 (standard dues $90.00)

In addition to those savings, all Member Partner Program members will receive the same benefits of our standard memberships, which include a copy of the Racing Rules of Sailing, Accident Insurance from The Gowrie Group, the lowest subscription rates for Sailing World and Cruising World, access to My US SAILING and our custom weather portal, discounts on apparel, publications, regatta entry fees, as well as member-only promotions from our partners.

		Web buttons, banners and custom links (automatically direct your members to our website to join or renew)
		Informative text and images for your website
