$1295 per year membership fee's???????

Do they have any members at all?

I don't know how many, they have but that's for the low-level
membership plus all the benefits like free unlimited day use of
Santana 22s, reciprocal rates, etc... It's $1695 and $2195 for higher
grades, bigger boats.
It's not considered an everyman's sport around.

The two clubs that I belong to, The Blue Water Club and the Hervey Bay Boat
Club, both cost less than $30 per year membership each.
I also store my boat at the Blue Water Club for the extra amount of $100 per
year.

The other place I was pointed to has more reasonable membership
prices.

But that is in Australia, not the USA.

This is the USA - but to some here it's not the USA, it's a state of
mind.

Well that may put a different perspective on it.
They have club yachts which you can use any time you like, provided it is
during the day, for no extra charge?

Perhaps that price is not too bad at all considering.

The price of entry keeps out the riff-raff?
