The yacht clubby types tend to take their club rank seriously. It's

My father's boatyard was almost next door to a snooty yacht club in the
same harbor. He joined because I wanted to race sailboats in the junior
program when I was a kid, but he refused to get involved in the
hierarchy. For fun, we went to social events at a blue collar boat club,
where no one was an "ossifer with a title."

Actually, the NG does have a snooty, holier than thou, commodore yachty
type participant. You might want to ask Commodore Chucky about it.
