I think to get into sailing family connections and clubs are important. I may be wrong. I used to race Mirror Dingies as a kid and we won locally and did well in regional stuff. Then, trying to keep racing I literally got laughed at trying to join the sailing club in Falmouth with no money (I was a skint student).
Yeah, I guess I just can't imagine many inner city kids having a family friend that goes sailing.
Given the weather we're having we might all need to learn how to sail...
