Membership

Privileges
Members have access to the club's facilities when open and the right to participate in racing, open regattas and social events running throughout the year. Even though boats and windsurfers in the club are privately owned, sailing opportunities are frequently given to everyone wishing to crew. Subject to a €20 deposit, boat and windsurfer owners have the right to apply for a key and gain access to the water, toilets and showers at any time. Members that have completed their basic training and wish to practice their skills may use our non-profit sailing centre's training boats at low rental fees. Finally, the club can help members find boats for purchase that are suitable to the individual member's requirements and skills.

Obligations
Begafigo has no paid staff and is run entirely by its members. Membership expresses a willingness to become involved in club activities and to contribute time and expertise in helping our club function. Members' contributions vary from helping to run races, to assisting with the training school, crewing on a RIB, hosting visitors at open meetings or helping to improve club facilities by participating in working parties. Boat owners are expected to participate in the Roster and run a race or volunteer-work duty at least 3 times a year. Race duties consist of Officer of the Day (OOD), Assistant (AOOD), and safety boat helm and crew, for which the club provides the necessary training. Members are also expected to attend the Annual General Meeting (AGM) to elect the committee and decide on important matters referring to the club’s present and future.
