Dont we already pay a penalty of $5 for not being a member of US Sailing at most large regatta's? Are you going to charge us non members $10 now... I dont think so!
David Mosley, eagerly awaiting change so I can rejoin USSA, and thanks to those who have time and money that can go the AGM and other events to represent us.
That extra $5 you pay for
not being a US sailing member goes to the club hosting the event (not US Sailing). As part being a US Sailing club, US Sailing ask the club to provide a $5 entry fee discount for all US Sailing members so membership will have some benefits. My US Sailing membership generally pays for itself.
