Tred Avon Yacht Club is a private club with a limited membership of persons who are dedicated to serving the Club's constitutionally defined mission. The mission and purpose is "to encourage interest in sailing and racing various classes of yachts; to further the education of our children in sailing and the rules of good sportsmanship; and to cultivate social and friendly contacts among its members."

New member candidates are proposed by existing members to the Membership Committtee that is tasked to perform an investigation of the candidates ability and willingness to support and actively particpate in the mission of the Club and to assist the proposers and candidates through the membership candidacy process. When satisfied that a candidate is ready, the Committee makes a recommendation to the Board of Governors for the approval process. The Club welcomes interest from any persons who participate in or have an interest in the sport of sailing but will give priority consideration to those with extensive yachting experience when filling our limited membership openings. It is expected that all members will be sailors who actively participate in and support regattas and other club activities and/or are present and past yachtsman and women who are anxious to participate in and support regattas and other club activities.

Further information can be obtained by contacting the Club Manager or Membership Chair. Members can find information for proposers in the Club Directory.
