The President, Commodore and Membership Chairman will have an unlimited sponsorship privilege.
3. Children of regular members who have attained the age of 26 or married as of May 1 must apply for membership at the first opportunity within that year except in the case of armed service tenure. They may not wait until the latter part of the season to apply and then request that the submitted dues be applied to the next season. They must make application for membership in the usual manner.
4. Single Membership is available to approved members without age restriction. Dues are one-half the family membership, plus initiation fees if such person is a new member. Married persons are not eligible for a single membership. Individuals with dependents under 26 years of age are not eligible for a single membership. Single members are entitled to one vote.

7. Prospective new sailing members should conform to our existing classes of sailboats. The classes are E, C, MC, X and Flying Scot.
8. All members in good standing have the privilege of charging their purchases at the DLYC to their membership account. Any member who uses this charge facility will receive a statement of those charges monthly. Payment to the DLYC is expected within 30 days of the statement date. Members have 30 days to contest any charges from the date of the invoice; otherwise, no contest will be considered. Members who RSVP for an event and do not show without providing notice to the coordinator will be charged for their RSVP despite not attending. If any member has an outstanding balance due after 60 days, the statement will advise the member that the manager will be directed to suspend charging privileges for that member until the account is paid to current status. The manager will be directed to take this action the 10th day after the date of the statement that notified the member of this action. In the event the member fails to pay the past due balance, or fails to establish an authorized plan of payment, and the account becomes 90 days past due, the Board of Directors may take further action to suspend membership privileges until the balance is paid in full.
9. The Board of Directors may grant a leave of absence (LOA) for membership for one year.
10. A written request to the Membership Chairman asking for an LOA and providing reasons is required. The
Board may grant an extended LOA based on a demonstrated hardship on a year-to-year basis.
