Benefits of club membership
Differences between yacht and sailing clubs
Club names are quite often linked to historical reference than to a current focus with most clubs offering a range of sailing opportunities. Depending on the location different clubs may be more suited to a certain type of activity.
Costs associated with joining a club
Costs vary greatly across the different membership categories (some starting for as little at £60 per year). Some clubs have gym style memberships, including the use of club boats and equipment, whilst others have a simpler offering – providing access to the facility. Many will also require a small amount of volunteering support from members as a requirement to joining.
Motivated and enthusiastic volunteers play a key role in developing and maintaining thriving and successful clubs.
