Yachting Club of America & Reciprocity
Reciprocity with more than 700 other yacht clubs for our members is made possible by THYC belonging to the Yachting Club of America. If you plan to use this privilege, we suggest investigating the following:
Check if the yacht club you have selected is a member of the Yachting Club of America. This is done by clicking the link below to Yachting Club of America, log in at "Members Only" using the information on your membership card page, and then select "YCA Registered Yacht & Sailing Clubs" to see if your desired yacht club is a member.
It is best to check with your selected yacht club to see if they have any restrictions. We have heard that the Chicago Yacht Club requires that you live more than 35 miles from their clubhouse.
Yachting Club of America's website login information is available to members only and can be found at this link. Your Membership Card
How to request a Letter of Reciprocity
One great benefit of being a THYC member is being able to visit other Yachting Club of America locations. Although our benefits allow us to visit these sites, each yacht club establishes its own rules for these visits. Here is our suggestion:
First, contact the yacht club you want to visit and inquire about their requirements. Some clubs just require a home club and membership number (in your membership card), others require a Letter of Reciprocity from your home yacht club.
If a Letter of Reciprocity is required, please send a request to commodore@thyc.org with the following information:
- Your membership name as it appears on our listing
- Name of yacht club to be visited
- Contact e-mail at the yacht club to be visited
- Dates of the proposed visit
The Commodore will then e-mail the yacht club with the letter, and you will be copied in the e-mail. Once received, the yacht club will be contacting you (or asking you to contact them) to set up the visit. Enjoy!
Your Commodore
