Additional Information:

Gift Aid for United Kingdom taxpayers:

If you are a United Kingdom taxpayer, you can help us further by using Gift Aid to increase the value of your membership and any additional donations by up to 25%, as it enables us to reclaim any income tax or capital gains tax that you have paid (provided that you have already paid sufficient tax to cover the amount that we will reclaim).  

If the membership that you are paying for is a gift for another person then it will not be eligible for Gift Aid.

Sailing on Nancy Blackett:

When you sail on the Nancy Blackett you will be asked to pay a small additional daily contribution to cover the cost of sailing expenses and the provision of a fully-qualified crew for your safety. See our Sailing page for more information about sailing the Nancy Blackett.

Membership Duration, Management and Cancellation:

Your membership is valid for one year from your date of joining or renewal, and you may manage or cancel any automatic renewal of your Annual Membership at any time. If you cancel your subscription you will continue to enjoy all of your membership benefits for the remaining period that has already been paid for.

You can manage your membership subscription in our system using this link:

You will need to manage your automatic renewal PayPal payments on your subscription page in the PayPal system.
