If you live near the coast it is very accessible. I raced dinghies on the river Lune as a kid and the milieu was not what you would stereotypically think of as 'yacht club' - probably lower household income than your average rugby or cricket club across the UK. Same at the sailing club where my parents live now on the Clyde.
Overall sailing is less accessible than cycling because there are fewer places to do it, and in some places you may encounter snotty attitudes. Once you get to a competitive racing level it is probably no different in cost per year than cycling though.
