In Hungary we are in a small club (26 sailors only), the club itself (have to be) member of the National Sailing Association (MVSZ).

The club has to pay to MVSZ: 778 USD/Y.
The members pay for "race license" 48 USD/Y (x 26 member) = 1242 USD/Y

It is all together 2020 USD/Y, == 78 USD/Member/Y

For that fee we do not get back any kind of insurance or race entry discount, or similar.

From the next year there is a new regulation of the races.

- organizers have to pay license fee to the MVSZ (2-3 USD / competitors, ISAF classes do not have to pay)
- For that fee the MVSZ publish the race in the official race calendar, publish the result on the web, and the most important, give the right of using the Racing rules of sailing,...

- Additional fee will be apply if there are advertising stickers on you boat or sails...This is 200-400 USD/Year, but the regulation is so complicate, I'm still not sure who has to pay and who not.

Seems to be we have the most expensive membership worldwide.
