I also think the days of buying a new boat instead of a set of sails for your 1 year old boat are coming to an end. It used to be that a set of sails would cost $3k but you could sell your boat and get a new one for a difference of $4k so a lot of people did that. I think it's at the point now where buying a new set of sails will start making a lot more financial sense to people than selling the entire boat and buying new again. I have no idea if it's good or bad for the manufacturer's bottom line but it will slow down the market.

Sail prices have been going up too...so who knows. Back in my day, I could buy a spinnaker for $800. (said with a slight whistle through my dentures when enunciating "s")
