Just FWIW as a different approach- I keep my boat on a trailer in my garage + I launch at a ramp. I've no idea if there's a ramp, beach or other water access; or if you'd have the ability to store it somewhere, or whatever but just thought I'd mention it in case.... the only slip around here is at the club ...
Another FWIW ... I too got back into sailing a couple years ago after a long time out. We ended up getting a kayak for my wife = her way of getting on the water. Or maybe if you've gotta pay the club, there's some way for her to have fun too, whether it's kayak, social, sailing lessons, etc etc. But YMMV, or perhaps more to the point YW(wife)MV.how to sell this idea to my wife
If it's an option, I'd very much recommend a trailer. It goes on+off easily. Hopefully the beach isn't too steep or soft to pull it back up (down is rarely a problem ...) Maybe pull it by hand, and put bigger - wider - softer tires on the trailer, if the beach is soft material. Hard to know if any of that's an option where you are.... a 2 man operation if the laser is on the roof of the car...
