I know people who own yachts bought on bank loans that have a lower monthly payment than a Ford Fiesta payment plan.

They do a lot work themselves, use swinging moorings, the insurance is cheap and generally the annual running cost is less than a Premiership Season ticket.  And certainly less than curry, fags and booze every weekend.

Yacht racing is probably the cheapest form of sailboat racing to get involved with.... some boats pick crew up from the dock.  These guys don't even have to YC members and on some boats, oilskins are loaned and all good skippers keep lifejackets.  Compare that to crewing a dinghy at a club- cost of kit, cost of membership, cost of fuel to get to some pond in the back and beyond....  

So actually Yacht Racing isn't posh.... but like a welfare system, you do need a few 'rich c*nts' to pay for it for everyone else.

Sailing is not a posh sport - owning a yacht is very posh.

The more we separate sailing from boat owning the more popular our sport will become.

There's a village near us called Gaydon.  I don't know if any babies were abandoned there last century.
