"The 2004 RECREATIONAL BOATING - Statistical Abstract" is just out and it seems that sailboat sales is the biggest loser in the recreational boating markets.
http://nmma.org/facts/boatingstats/2004/files/market1.aspI am not quite sure what to make of these figres as the total number of sailes is down but the value of sales is up. My guess is that these figures include dinghies cats etc as the average price of the boats surveyed seems quite low, $36,000.
