We offer three types of memberships – full, basic or support – depending on the level of attendance you want to have.
Full members pay a higher yearly fee but can take part in all our society sailings free of charge. Lower fee applies to students, i.e. members of a student union (excluding PhD students).
Basic members pays a lower yearly fee but pays a sailing fee for each sailing to compensate for wear and tear, although this is only an option for BSc and MSc students.
Support membership is aimed at Chalmers alumni that don’t intend to be a full member but still want to support the society. Support members are entitled to sail their private yacht under ChSS flag (a sailing club membership is a requirement for most yacht races) and can attend all ChSS events apart from the society sailings, which are reserved for students and full members.
The current fees are stated below, where the basic membership can be upgraded to a full one at any time.
-
Full membership (BSc, MSc students) 1000 SEK / year

Full membership (non students, PhD) 2000 SEK / year

Basic membership (BSc, MSc students only) 500 SEK / year
-
Support membership 500 SEK / year
-
Sailing fee (Basic members only) 100 SEK / sailing
Non-members can participate in society sailings, if invited by a society skipper, for a fee of 200 SEK / sailing.
What we offer to our members
As member of our society you will have access to sail during society sailings, which are held mostly multiple times a week, during our sailing season.
To be able to borrow the boats by yourself (for private sails) you must first become a society certified skipper, hold a Swedish Inshore Diploma (or equivalent) and offer a sufficient amount of society sails exclusive for the members of the society. The skipper certification consists of a sail-up with our boat chiefs to test your knowledge about the boats as well as sailing in general. In order to promote this, the society strives to have organized schools for beginners as well as potential skippers at least once a year.
