Maybe whtat it really comes down to is demographics...
In Response To: I will say this, after posting above ()
No doubt there is a market for 2 mil BOTY boats like the Gunboat... and no doubt CW appeals to those that can afford such a boat. (although I suspect that there are other mags that shoot even higher...)
But I suspect that for a certain demographic... CW is just "over the top," and therefore they "opt out" from CW just as some choose to no longer browse Playboy. GRIN

- It's a changing world, for sure...
- That's good for the used boat market
- Sailing should follow golfs marketing.
- It is odd. A simple 'everyday sailing' entry level sailboat has never been cheaper to buy.
