My conclusion from this is that sailing is a cheap sport if done within a certain model. That model is volunteer, well run clubs and people buying second hand mainly but competitive boats, looking after them and sailing them regularly.

There's a couple of places where you can get 'pay to play' but you need also to be a member, but membership is on a monthly pay basis, so more like a 'gym subscription'

Queen Mary - Ashford Middx - https://www.facebook.com/QueenMarySelect/

HISC - S. E Tip of Hayling Island (but worth the drive) - http://www.hisc.co.uk/ - note you would be expected to do duties here however.

My lake has a club ( Carsington sc ) and a pay and play ( Carsington watersports). But the pay and play people have a very limited range of boats, a few picos and a Bahia I think. It's the club that gets the people out sailing.

Or you buy a boat, tow it to a club and pay the day sail fee ( my local clubs have that facility ). Advantage,youre not stuck at one club and not paying £100s in membership; disadvantage, the cost mounts up and you can't keep your boat on site.

Makes sense for windsurfers, kite foilers, not so much for dinghies and keel boats.
