Just a reminder, at GBCA you can be a member for as little as $35 annually, we've had a highly successful Intro to Sailing class going 5? years now (we charge $10 for a pizza lunch), and anyone (member or not) can post on the crew board on this site and give sailboat racing a try FREE...
I'd blow a fuse, but it's probably just a way to get the NYT some attention, so ********* them. ;D
