Absolutely - most young people aren't buying sailboats at all
In Response To: Fast isn't everything and "young people"... ()
or if they are it's sailboards, kite boards, or something else they can car-top. Performance boats like planing dinghies or beach cats imply the need for a place to keep them -- so that means they either have a house or belong to a club. Most young people in their early 20's don't have those things unless they still live with or near the parents.
That doesn't mean they don't have the dream.
