The purpose of Leatherlips Yacht Club is to promote the sport of sailboat racing and to provide a social center for members, their families and guests. The club emphasizes racing for family members of all ages, with strong support for people to learn through classes and fleet racing. There is a wide range of skill levels from beginner to expert, with an emphasis on helping one another to improve sailing skills. The club relies on self-help member participation for normal maintenance and projects to minimize costs. Additionally, there are a limited number of active memberships available to owners of canoes, kayaks, or rowing shells (one or two person only). The following membership categories are available:

The one-time initiation fee is $280.75 plus annual dues of $487.61 (due in December for the following year). Extra boat parking spaces are available.
