After the first year, if a member wishes to cancel their membership and then rejoin at a later date, he/she may rejoin for $99 subscription fee (and pay any outstanding dues if applicable). SEAFORTH SAILING CLUB reserves the right to cancel any membership by sending 30 day written notice to member. Early termination of Membership may only be completed upon payment of remaining terms or periods in first year.
DUES: Monthly (quarterly, or annual) dues will be paid automatically every month (quarter, or year) by subscribing to a monthly (quarterly, or annual) payment agreement by credit card.
