I saw in the classes review that there were 3762 new Lasers(all rigs) in the UK.

Can this be true? It seems excessively high for UK only figures.

How about a NEW thread sharing your analysis showing ALL the classes that reported?

Development Class numbers are low by comparison as you'd expect. They've all been pretty steady the last few years as have most longer established classes.

Interesting reading. Would be good to know number of new 14s etc. Slight differences with the 29er and 49er in that those new boat numbers are worldwide and not just the UK. The RS', whilst selling some abroad, I would imagine 95% are domestically sold.

Here's my assessment of some of the two handers

Where's my bonus, boss?
=======================
RS200 - 105, averaging about 90 for the last few years.

Suprise Revival
===============
RS400 - 38 new boats this year, 6 last year

Steady
======
49er - 40ish last two years
29er - 50ish

Dropping
========
RS800 down to 25ish from 50ish a few years ago

Glad I'm not the Head of Sales
==============================
L4000 - 8 new boats
RS600 - 2 new boats
B14 - 2 new boats
Buzz - no new boats
Tasar - 1 new boat, but first for a couple of years. Maybe the new rags will rescue it.

Nailed to the Perch
===================
5000 - 1 since 1999
Boss - none since 1999
Iso - none since 2002
Laser 2 - none since 2002
Spice - none for a few years

What are the figuers for the dev classes?

Interesting stats So what that says is most of the new boats your buying will only last about 10-15 years then you have to find something new?

49er 531 & 5000 5025 and a mirror(now gone to mirror heaven)!
