Default ratio of working on boat to using it

I am now paying for deferred maintenance on my sailboat. Having
neglected to do the work a little at a time for the past two years, I
have had to spend every Saturday for the past two months dealing with
it. MAYBE, I will have her sailing this next weekend.
Am almost ready to drop out of local yacht club because they keep me
from doing maintenance. The coast is an hour from my house and
whenever I go to do work, I end up doing club stuff instead. Other
members are older and retired or have grown kids or they live adjacent
to it so finding time isnt an issue for them. I'd really rather spend
time sailing than going to meetings.
