Reciprocal rights apply with many yacht clubs interstate and overseas, especially those with a royal designation and also with certain local clubs.

Members should contact the reciprocal clubs prior to any visit to confirm the requirements for access to their premises.  While the presentation of a current RSAYS membership card is the usual method of validating entry to reciprocal clubs, in some instances a letter of introduction will be sought.  These letters of introduction are available upon request from the RSAYS Member Services Coordinator.
