$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.
