Default Dave's Rules of Clubs?

Indeed. That's probably why we don't have a restaurant.


Really? So you must have local arrangements with restaurants that give
20% off, right? Sounds like your paying a lot of cash for a mooring and
little else. What does your "club" offer that's useful for the boat
itself? Full time docking? Dinghy dock? Discounts from BoatUS and West
Marine and UK and Doyle? Wireless internet? Anything?
Oh, yeah...you have a program for kids. We have that too, right across
the street with 15 assorted boats and a shared pair of Capri 25's.


On the other hand, using your test the folks at NYYC don't really
want to
use their boats.

Dunno, never been there. But I always sailboat owners that if they try
a slip they'll use their boats 1/3 more. So far no one who's tried a
slip has come back to argue the point. Full and instant access to the
boat is the only wait to go.
But hey, it's your toy!


Get out of the New York
ghetto.


Yeah! The lowest cost boat at my club is a J29 (though her sail
inventory cost more than your whole boat!)...oh but the owner also has
a new Cruisers 32 here. Your boat wouldn't fit in with our ghetto
Bristols, Swedens, Island Packets, Beneteaus, Tartans, Vindo's and so
on...and let's be honest, even the new Catalina 350 here is light years
nicer than your boat as is the Hunter 39.
Did you ever consider just selling that poor tub and joining a second
club?


BWAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHA!!!!
