The best yacht club that would be useful for me would be one where the boat could be sitting on the sand, mast up and yards from the water.

We used to have our own little club where the County of LA rented us beach space for $240/yr....Topanga South Yacht Club. No dues, no meetings but we had t-shirts! (and 50 cats on the beach at one time). Volleyball, weekly BBQ's....

Unfortunately, the beach eroded away leaving rocks and boulders in the landing zone. Sailors moved away or left the sport. I keep my boat in an RV yard close by now. The plus is that I can trailer to new places.

Wish I could find another spot like that but most of the YC's aren't on the sand!
