  • Yeah, but it's the getting to competitive level that ain't gonna happen if you don't have a car, don't have a boat, or don't have a place to store it, don't live near water, etc. It's not just about the boat or about a bike. If you live in a block of flats you can run, ride, box, do gym stuff, swim maybe but ride horses or sail? nah

    Haha London Sailing Club website... 404 error :)

    Although this lot offer cheaper membership for students and have an equality policy and stuff: https://www.lcsc.org.uk/club/membership-fees

    "Members can rent club boats for £12 per day" so maybe not such the barriers to entry I'm imagining.

  • I knew a fair few working class lads who were into sailing when I was growing up. There were a fair few local reservoirs and lakes. A few got as far as national trials where some lad called Ben Ainslie was streets ahead of everyone else.
