I know a couple places with cheap sailing club memberships. One works out to about $30 per month, but you can volunteer for a free membership, and another is just $75 a year. Maybe you can find something like that, and if not, then consider just moving to a new city.

do they provide the boat too?

Yeah they do, and one has a bunch of windsurfing gear too as well as wet suits and foul weather gear you can wear. A whole fleet and lessons included.

sure beats the quarter million or whatever it costs to get your own boat ๐Ÿ˜
