Over here at NYC (Nedlands Yacht Club) I get charged $1,229 per year for pen space (incl. taxes). That includes water and electricity on the jetty. The pen will accommodate a 9m boat, so my 6m boat kind of rattles around in there a bit. I've put a pre-emptive application in to the matrimonial finance committee to upgrade the boat to make better use of the space I am paying for - but I actually think a 20ft boat is about the right size for me.

The club has a trailer and ramp available for members to use for haulouts, free of charge for the first 28 days and then $10 per day thereafter.

On top of that I have to pay the $562 annual membership fees, but this gets me some insurance for racing, access to the club power boats, training facilities and function rooms. Oh, and cheap beer at the bar :-)

I assume that is in Australian dollars. Converted to US dollars that is about the same as I pay. I pay a whopping $72.00 a year for club fees, which gets me nothing except a club burgee and a space to keep extra lines etc.

Oh, the only way to get cheap beer is to buy it at Sam's!
