[quote=martin_langhoff]Competition from other sports, availability of cheap _and reliable_ powered boats and jetskis, time pressure against anything that might a "whole day" commitment. More people living in apartments. Etc.
People in Sailing Anarchy dissect this to death. It is real, the reasons are probably many so everyone's theory is right to some extent.
I do my part -- sail the wheels off the boats I have, invite friends to sail with me... try to get them into it... "sell" them a "share" on my boat to get them to sail it (and use the money to spruce up the boat)... post videos about sailing... help organize races and get-togethers when I can... post in internet forums nobody reads...
At the end of the day, big trends are big trends. This is the sport we know and love, I'll keep sailing with ... or without company.[/quote]
