Joined A Yacht Club

Toronto

Here is a short article briefly summarizing Toronto's clubs.
 
My parents were members of a yacht club here in San Diego in the late 60's early 70's. They owned a small catamaran (Pacific Cat, predecessor to the Hobie) that they dry docked there. At the time it was definitely more sailboat oriented. We kids took lessons and then could rent sabots for cheap when dad was working on the boat. There was a 'rec room' for the kids that had a ping pong table and a pinball machine.

Then they did a massive remodel.... the quaint/divey restaurant bar became chic. The rec room became much more snooty as new members' kids came in and sneered at us sailboat kids. My dad sold the boat around that time as he'd taken on another huge volunteer responsibility.

But when we were members it was fun.
