I believe that beachcat sailing is declining. I keep my nacra 6.0 on the beach in Delray Beach, Florida where we are allowed 60 slots for local residents with mast up storage for $200 per year. Seven years ago you had to wait for someone to leave to get a slot. It has been on a steady decline since, with now only half of the slots taken. You could not ask for a more beautiful spot to sail in South Florida, clean water, balmy tropical breezes, no PWC's and very little powerboat traffic. BTW there is not one roto mold boat on the beach, and I can remember only one in the last seven years that I have been keeping my boat there. Any one have any clue as to why this sudden decline is happening. I try my best to get others involved by taking them sailing, offering to help them find a new or used boat, and answering any questions that I can. Down the beach one mile away I see the huge growth in kite boarding, it seems that every weekend there are more than the week before. If our sport could grow at 1/10th of kite boarding, we would be happy. Any ideas or sugesstions on how to fill the remaining 30 slots would be appreciated.
