I refuse to join any club that would have me as a member.

I have a friend who skirted it by joining Pass Christian Yacht Club and uses reciprocal privileges somehow for everything at Southern


That reciprocality is limited as they can only go to Southern x amount of times per year (I believe it’s single digits) from my understanding. Can’t get out of paying that easy

Genuine question for those that may know, but why exactly do some CC exclude blacks and Jews? I get excluding any family for financial reasons, but what’s the harm in admitting a black family where the husband is a doctor or bank executive or whatever pulling in $300k per year? Is it just long standing tradition?


Come on man! If you’re from Alabama, I’m sure you can figure it out.

Honestly, there aren’t a ton of options in the city. For what the baw is looking for I would rank the following:

1. NOCC
2. MCC
3. Chateau
4. English Turn

IMO, there is a pretty big drop off between numbers one and two & the drop off between three and four is huge.

In theory it is something like five, in practice it depends on what the moon phase is and how likeable you are.

I have never attempted to push this limit but I assume if you are some combination of a fun and likeable person, socially well connected, a reliable crew member on wednesday nights, or posses some serious hardware from winning more serious races, you have a better chance of getting around that rule.

This is not a common rule at most yacht clubs or private clubs, just the really old and traditional ones. Carolina, New York, and Golden Gate are similar, you can't just walk in and flash a Biloxi Yacht Club card and expect to get a ride with Larry Ellison or Dennis Conner.

Most yacht clubs are part of a greater association with a blanket reciprocity agreement.

Hell, I understand having a last name that ends in a vowel can be a problem unless you married right.
