Genuine question as I was quite surprised to read it can be as low 2% at a large club famed for racing....


Difficult to judge accurately but of the sailing members probably as high as 60%, we're a racing club,with limited storage so actively discourage 'tourist' cruisers and beach toy owners.

Our entire membership however now contains kitesurfers, windsurfers and SUPreverts and we also have an entire cycling club on a corporate group membership deal which keeps the galley busy at times and contributes to our greater welfare.

The damn Laser fleet is however growing and not all old cruddy models we have three new radial sails one of which was so far ahead last night it leads me to consider a bit of sail measurement given although it was a radial cut, it was a knock off.

Personally I'd toast RYA affiliation but other committee members value it for various naive reasons.
