To sail on Sea Essay you will need to either be a member of the CSSC or pay a Day Membership fee (see charges). There are 3 steps to membership of CSChannelSailing:-
1. Join CSSC
Membership of CSSC is open to employees of the Civil Service and over one hundred other bodies such as BT, Royal Mail, English Heritage and the Research Councils, members of HM armed forces, the police, local authorities and NHS employees.
- Membership is also open to former members of CSSC who have left government service, or those who have retired and are receiving a pension from an eligible organisation.
- If you don’t qualify for CSSC membership in your own right you may be able to join as a Linked Member. Linked members are sponsored by an existing member for their first year of membership. After that they qualify as a full member and can themselves sponsor linked members.
If in doubt about your eligibility see the CSSC FAQ or contact the CSSC Membership Department on 01494 888444. The easiest way to join is online via cssc.co.uk.
2. Join the CSSA
Once you are a member of CSSC you should join the CSSA at no further cost. This will entitle you to subscribe to the crew bureau or enrol for the courses and other events that are publicised by email and on this and other CSSA related websites.
