Just me factoring out additional cost of daughters fleet storage so fees, maintenance and depreciation of the boat probably £50 - a figure I would like to increase!

I've also owned big boats for the last 20 years and know that whatever dinghy sailing costs, it's relatively inexpensive in comparison. Since I daren't calculate big boat cost (which on a cost per usage basis would only look worse), I'm certainly not going to calculate dinghy cost.

My ex brother in law, does no sport at all, he does however, smoke, drink and gamble, costs a lot more than my sailing, kayaking and cycling, not forgetting surfing.

I’m not trying to justify the amount. I love sailing and budget for it according to my ambitions. This season will include a pretty decent refit that’s under way, some new sails and a lot more travelling to STs and, I think most importantly a lot of training and some coaching.
Better start putting the hours in at work

Base monthly costs are about £60 a month . Which is great value considering , it’s for my wife and I and the amount time we spend at the sailing club.
This doesn’t include the odd big expenditure like my urge to buy a different boat or my wife’s love of new sails.

Membership of three sailing clubs, £30 per year. Boat Insurance (two boats) ~£300. sails-bought nearly new s/h for both classes last 5 years. A low few hundreds over the year for ropes, gloves etc. Nothing for burgees by avoiding capsizes!

Been intrigued at what it costs me per year for a while so made a spread sheet tonight
Boat costs (insurance/repairs for 3 boats 1 boat is shared) - £672 Entry Fees for 14 events this is just my share- £355 Fuel for the 14 events, my share £361 Accomodation for the 5 events plus a week for the nationals, my share - £590 Extras; membership fees and paying for dinner when someone put us up for the evening- £195 In total it was £2173 total for the year, round it to £2200 by the time I do the Grafham Grand prix, making it £183.33 per month Edited by ClubRacer - 18 Dec 19 at 10:10pm |
