	thats crazy! If you got definite sunshine and a decent breeze avery time you go sailing I could probably pay that but my god thats expensive. Our sailing club is about £50, and that includes all race fees all year!
	Needs to sail more...

	Well I may have lived a sheltered sailing life but a £1200 joining fee - come on! They are also calling themselves " the United Kingdom's leading dinghy sailing club" - quote from their website. Now that is a very big claim to make. Who thinks it's true?

	i'd say that they are the best club in the country but i wouldn't want to pay that joining fee!! might have to get a couple of years in quick before i become 24 and need to pay it!

	how can a club be 'full' its nuts!! it seems like a whole different world from what i'm used to i guess. I like the idea of a club where everyone knows everyone else, its there for the passion of the sport and nothing else. (or am i sounding old fashioned?)

	Maybe not old fashioned but not in the same league as HISC. Admitidly I woul dnever think of paying that much for HI since last time i was there we had to climb in and ou tof scafolding poles and those poles that you can put extra tension on were holding the roof up.
