I just rejoined the yacht club that I quit 10 years ago. On the small lakes of Kansas there are not large enough marinas for there to be sailboat slips so most Kansas lakes have a yacht club and if you sail you join one. My club instituted an automatic annual 3% increase in fees years ago. Einstien was right, that compound interest is amazing. My annual dues are $320 and the annual wet slip is $501. Our slips have full fingers on each side of the boat, shore power, and potable water. Everyone has a key to the crane and using it is free. We have two free pump out stations. You can work off $160 a year doing work projects or committee work. How does this line up with what other people pay to sail? (The mast-up storage space is $50 per year, we all keep our trailers there, a few dry sail.)

We pay $175.00 per month or $2100.00 per year for 1/2 of a double slip with electric and water here in Colorado.

Sounds like you have a good deal at $821.00 a year.

I deleted the other posts as I e-mailed Bryan on my earthlink account. But I do all my C25/C250 business on hotmail. Yikes that may mean allot of the work is not getting through. I use hotmail for non business work to keep everything separate.

Mission Bay in San Diego ranges from $7.50/ft per month to about $25/ft per month. I am at Marina Village, it's $9.25/ft/month. Adding $25/month for bottom cleaning, that comes out to about $250/month. Marina Village has quick access to the ocean, no bridges, and is not a resort or yacht club (no facilities). It's a single slip, with water and power included.

Note, San Diego Bay has fancy places over $50/ft per month.

On my little reservoir (Alum Creek), I'm in line to have a dock next year for around $800.00 for the season. That is without electric or any other extras.

We are at $750 or so a season. I am not exactly sure of our rate because our dockage was free this year. This does not include dues, 85/month, and minimum restaurant spending 60/month or the club initiation fee. Docks have electric and water. Winter storage is $400.00.

Services & Facilities (from the club website)

Gasoline and diesel fueling .
Pump-out station.
15-ton Travel Lift and two 2-ton hoists for Dry Sail.
Ice, beverages, and limited supplies.
Year-round restaurant and bar.
Patio with a view of downtown Cleveland, for casual dining during the boating season.
Waterfront picnic pavilion with grills
Restrooms and showers available 24 hours a day.
Wheelchair access throughout Club facilities.

$221 a month on Canyon Lake. Includes power and water. Showers and restrooms available for marina tenants (but we have those in the Yacht Club). Club dues are $20 a month - best bargain on the lake!

at carlyle sailing association, in southern illinois, we pay $225. per year for a parking/trailer space.
the association sails 6 months a year and we are to particapate in work parties or we pay more not to.
it isn't as difficult as some may think to dry store your boat.
is also a no bottom paint problem or costs.
the other 6 months i store the boat indoors for $1.50 a foot a month.
i will never complain what the costs are for me to sail.

Derek,
I have a double slip at Ft Sam Marina. Facilities are ok but the showers and restrooms are a long walk away. Where is the Hill Country Yacht Club, what are the amenities there, and can you send me a link?
Thanks,

$160 per month if I prepay annually ($1920) plus $75 a year for electric. Cheapest in town but furthest from harbor.. It's $7.20 per foot monthly. About a 45 minute sail to get into the main Charleston Harbor. But it's only 10 minutes from my house.

100.00 month includes 30 amp power, water, and a bath house. The down side is that I have a 4 hour drive to the boat.

I pay $450 a year for a mooring buoy. This is at the Navy base in Jacksonville, Fl. This price includes a free community shuttle dinghy. One of the better benefits for us military folk.

$1100 for a swing mooring in Noank, CT, and about $750 for winter storage. No bridges and lots of great, nearby destinations.

I own my mooring and the city of [url="http://www.obmc.com/once%20in%20the%20harbor.htm"]Oyster Bay[/url] charges me $35 for a permit. However to get to the mooring I pay $800 for a launch service that comes when called and will take all my guests. The launch runs between 7am and 11pm. So for 6 months that’s about $140 a month. I live at least 2-3 days a week on the boat so I have a mooring all the way out east by the anchorage where the launch doesn’t run by me all day and night and it’s real peaceful.

Underlined words are a HOT link.

When I had Third S in a slip, it was about $380 per month. So now I dry dock it for about $85.

$400/season for a "slip" (no finger docks) with water but no electricity in our town boat club (residents only)--$70/year dues. That's 5 minutes (on a bicycle) from our home. The Norwalk Islands, Oyster Bay and Port Jefferson on Long Island, and much more is just beyond our harbor. The Manhattan skyline is on the horizon. Best deal on Western Long Island Sound.

Winter storage, however, is much, much worse. So are houses!

I paid the Mayfield Yacht Club $671.16 for club dues, docking which includes finger dock, and electricity. Haul-out, launch and winter storage is another 300 or so from a local marina. MYC is the best deal on the Great Sacandaga Lake. The marina I was at before moving to the club was close to a 1000 per season. BTW. Skyline is the foothills of the Adirondek Mountain, much nicer than Manhatten!

I didn't want to answer this queiry last time it came up, but here it goes.
Lake Yosemite is a small man made lake (sometime in the late 1800's) that is run by the local irrigation district and county as a joint venture. Our club rents a house by the docks that we have paid for by doing upgrades. Park fees for a season pass for the boat and car are $30 and $20 respectivly (I think that what it was this year).Our club dues are I think $75/ year, my wife pays the bills. You don't have to be a member to have a boat in the slips. the slips are different sizes from 6' wide to a double at 20' wide. Some are too shallow for a large boat and small stuff goes there. prices range from $65 to $85 for the season, May to October. We have water and power (when it is working). The house has kitchen and bathroom. We also have an icemaker that for me makes up for the dues. There is a satalite dish and big screen TV for when the cup races are on. This month or so we are building a large BBQ with parts we removed from a different part of the park we are in.
Again the $ is fairly low, but we have a pretty small lake http://www.lakeyosemitesailing.org/ Take a look at the site for some photos.

How do I figure the cost of 200 square feet of my driveway?

Chesapeake Bay marinas would cost thousands a year......Many places have waiting lists.

Hey Matt and Brigitte... Is that a funnel cloud I see ahead of the becalmed C-22 on "opening day"? That could be exciting sailing!
