AGAIN, I have to say that if you belong to a class or a club or Regional Yachting Assocation, or any type of organization that is a member of US Sailing, you should automatically be a member of US Sailing. Your dues to US Sailing should automatically be paid as a nominal part of your dues to whatever organization you belong to, if that organization is a member of US Sailing.
If you belong to several different sailng classes and organizations, you will be contributing to US Sailing from your memberships in all of those organizations.
So why should we have to pay individually, as well?
I still say US Sailing should reduce its overhead. They are saying they have plenty of money and don't need more members for money reasons. So WHY?
