HCIA Membership Information
Come Join Our Family
The Highlander Class International Association supports all facets of Highlander sailing. If you are interested in any aspect of the boat, from club racing, day sailing or taking part in the regatta circuit, then membership in HCIA is for you. Benefits of membership include receiving The Highlander, a quarterly magazine, and access to a network of experienced Highlander sailors who will help you with any Highlander questions.
Or, just Get on Board by contacting HCIA or a fleet near you. Learn the most by stopping by one of our class-sanctioned regattas and tracking down one of the skippers. We’d love to have you experience what we all love so much.
