How do I become a member?
Membership requires sponsorship by two current club members.
If you already know members of the club who will sponsor you,
you should obtain an application form from one of them
or the Membership Chair person, fill it out,
have these members sponsor you and indicate so on the form,
and then submit the application to the Membership Chair.
If you do not know any members of the club,
you should contact the Membership Chair and
he or she will get you in touch with some members
who will interview you and may become your sponsors.

I would like a wet slip.
Can I move my boat over immediately upon membership approval?
LLSC is a private club, not a public marina.
We are limited by the Corps of Engineers in our slip capacity.
As a result, in most instances our wet slip capacity is completely full.
A process is in place allowing members to be placed on a waiting list
for a wet slip once approved for membership.
A non-refundable deposit must be sent to the Harbormaster to be placed
on the waiting list and slips will be assigned on a first come first serve basis.
There is little insight as to the length of wait.
If you do not have a trailer and have to have a wet slip,
alternate arrangements should be made.
