I haven't looked at YC memberships lately, but last time it was something like $25,000 USD per year + monthly minimums. Oh, and you had to be sponsored by 4 members. And dress code after 18:00 is blue blazer (with emblem) and white pants (YIKES)

But, things are weird here in my area. Most likely don't represent YC sailing in general. I mean, I only see TWO masts tied up at the "Yacht Club". The rest are monster-mega-ginormous powerboats. You know, the ones with their own dual-doppler radar stacks, and hot tubs on the promenade deck?

I think the yacht club likes those better because they make $$$ on fuel sale. Sad, too, since those docks are actually wide enough for most of the larger cruising cats (docks look about 20 feet wide)

The local sailing club (no clubhouse) seems active. Probably saw about 12 boats bouy racing last Saturday... No beachcats though..
