I've seen "new" old boats in the harbor. Some have moved away with new owners. There's a waiting list for storage on the town landing(very affordable). Waiting list for moorings in the harbor isn't too long (couple hundred a year to keep your boat, about the same in winter). The longest waiting list in the dinghy tie off. Sort of a luxury compared to a regular dinghy dock(like having a slip and your dinghy is protected).

Indoor storage in town has increased as has outdoor. Most of it is filled but you can still find space.

Off the harbors, inland storage is increasing. Hauling inland is a good deal today. Many businesses cater to this new theme and rates are attractive. Big boats rolling down the road are a ho-hum sight around here.

I watch several local brokers. Boats are selling at a very good bargain in most cases. Those in the "back lot" are doomed, but they always were. High end stuff seems particularly hot for some designs. I think brokers have toughened and don't have much trouble telling sellers they're over priced.

I see a few "kids" owning pretty nice boats these days(couple thousand range(nice 26'ers say) and up, 10k can get you quite the ride-yesterdays kroozers!). The kids I see are connected to a history of sailing with their families.

My view is just a crop of the east, but the coast of Maine is a sailing destination with a lot of opportunity today, and it's 3500 miles long.
