Loads of Championship clubs are very hard to get into i think because where is sail has a 1 year waiting list for membership places and the fee's are high !

 

Lucky i get junior membership really !

St. Peters marina further up the tyne is cheaper than that I think, and the winter membership includes entry to their race series.

think of how much it would cost to keep a keel boat in a marina,

at Royal Quays on the river Tyne where my dad keeps his boat the rates are:

For 12 Months - £186.00 per meter

visitors - Daily(minimum charge of £13.50) Charged for the first 5 days, 50% discount there after,       £1.85 rate/meter/day

I think "pretty reasonable" is a bit of an understatement!

My club charges £55 membership plus £60 race fees.  And then the marina want £180 parking fee for the Stealth and another £135 for the eps.

Anyone wanna buy an eps?

Don't forget to the cost of life insurance,

Anyone else find the Tesco life insurance advertising banner at the top of the forum a little unnerving, "living life on the edge" you irresponsible fools you'd better protect the ones you love, "you're only worth £5 a month!"
