Crew Fees

All non-members participating in ocean races will pay a crew fee. The crew fees are outlined in the Notice of Race and are the order of $60 for Devonport, Hobart, Port Fairy, Stanley, King Island, $50 for Apollo Bay and each coastal sprint.  There is an additional fee paid by all of $60 for crew in the Hobart to cover the additional mechandise items.

In addition, if a crew member is not a member of another Australian Sailing Club, they will need to also pay for a temporary membership via an Ocean Pass ($60) for each Ocean Race which is in addition to the crew fee.
