Not necessarily - but my point of view might be skewed by the part of the US I grew up in and live in as an adult. Where I have lived, sailing isn't a competitive sport that is practiced by wealthy people who own yachts, it's a sport that can be enjoyed by anyone who has access to water and a sunfish type craft. There aren't leagues for young sailors to participate in or anything, but it's a very enjoyable family sport that people don't have to be wealthy to enjoy.
