Yachting Club of America 
All members received a 2013 YCA reciprocal courtesy card and MBYC membership card when
you received your new Roster. Did you know we have reciprocity at Clubs all over the United
States, including Alaska and Hawaii as well as the Virgin Islands?
If not, check it out and take advantage of this membership perk.

Here’s how to do it:
  Go to the website, www.ycaol.com
  Go to the “home page” and Click on “members only” and plug in the user ID and password.
  Now click on “YCA Registered Yacht & Sailing Clubs” to bring up the reciprocity guide.

You will find the index of Clubs on the left listed in alphabetical order starting on
page 9 or by geographical listing starting on page 134.

Carry your cards with you and have fun perusing through the myriad of choices!
