I was hoping they'd make it.  Now that we have a motel at the lake, a racing 
sled would be fun; used of course.  My budget can't take new.For the "no 
effort" crowd, maybe back to self tacking jibs and lazy jacks.  My wife is 
complaining about the 160% genny which I need in anything under 10kts.  And I'm

Dennis..it's the old adage..if you don't learn from historyyou're 
destined to repeat it.
My own opinion is that sailing has become a diminishing interest.while 
power boats are enjoying a growth market.
It's the immediate gratification generation..just turn the key and drive 
away.
It's not the lack of money...except for special circumstances.e.g. 
Comanche, Meteor, etc..the money is going into power.
Check out the MJM 50 e.g.  big engines, gyroscopic stabilization and a $2.5 M 
pricetag.
And the waiting list is over 3 years long..MJM produces at least 2 boats 
per week.from 35' to 50'...the least expensive is in the $900K 
range.

Re: Stus-List US Watercraft receivership

2017-07-25 Thread Hoyt, Mike via CnC-List
It is also aging population

The great thing about sailing vs powerboating is that everyone on board is 
involved in sailing whereas powerboat is like sitting on the beach.  Boring (if 
you are not the driver).  Sailing can be a lot of work and racing needs an 
active crew.  Powerboat you are less dependent on other people to take your 
boat out for the day.

My last boat will hopefully be something like a Mainship.  It will be flag blue.

Sabre also made that realization.

Even the major sailboat manufacturers are making sailboats that have more and 
more the attributes of powerboats ….

Interesting …

The new sailboat market in the US is a mess.  It just hasn't shaken off the 
effects of 2008 when sales of domestic sailboats dropped by 75%.  Sad to see 
yet another builder struggling.  On the plus side, Hall Spars has reopened in 
the states with the financial backing of the North Sails group.
Yet another reason to keep our old boats running in good shape.
