Membership Information

Blue Element is a sailing club focused on providing an exceptional experience.  We accept only high quality vessels into the fleet, and to insure adequate access, the number of memberships is strictly limited.  Members will be able to enjoy their privileges in any of our locations and special member-only events and activities. BESC is committed to fostering a positive and cooperative environment for those of us who love sailing!

New Member Promotion

For a limited time, Blue Element Sailing Club is waiving 50% of the initiation fee for new members joining under the basic membership package who were previous members of OCSC.  The Berkeley based club provided a great service for Bay Area sailors and was a positive contributor to the sailing community at large.  We hope we can provide similar long term benefits for everyone involved, and feel the pain of the members who have lost their organization.  We hope this helps a bit and can get you aboard with Blue Element!
