A note on dues collection: TCRSA is a volunteer-run association in the process of establishing a dedicated organizational bank account. Annual memberships run January 1 through December 31. We'll send a renewal reminder each January.

Any end-of-year balance beyond our anticipated operating costs is donated to local community sailing centers — organizations that open the sport to kids and families who might not otherwise get on the water. We're not here to collect money. We're here to keep Minnesota sailing healthy.

A full accounting is available on request. Questions? Use our contact form.

Why join

What membership means

🏆

National competition

In 2024, Wayzata YC's junior crew — Moncur, Anderson, Lundeen-Hetland, and Bowers — won the Sears Cup at San Diego YC. The same four sailors returned in 2025 as runner-up. That same year, Kurt Taken-Holtze, Jeff Hames, and Jon Lee won the Mallory Trophy. Two different teams. Two national championships. Three podiums in two years. All TCRSA.

Sanctioned events

As a TCRSA member you're racing under a US Sailing regional affiliate — your results count, your eligibility is real, and the path to nationals is open.

🌊

Regional community

Minnesota, Wisconsin, Iowa, North Dakota, South Dakota — TCRSA connects the upper Midwest into one competitive sailing community. Inter-club regattas, qualifiers, and shared events all season.

🤝

Giving back

Any year-end balance beyond our operating costs is donated to local community sailing centers — organizations that get kids and families on the water. Your dues do more than you might expect.
