I'm sure someone can find a way to blame Brexit, or Donald Trump.

Lasers, Ents, Merlins all poor turnouts in Wales.
Common denominator? |

I wonder how much demographics is a factor....for example have the Ent numbers held up because there were lots of 'always been an Ent sailor' sailors who are now feeling the effects of aging?
Perhaps the same with Larks (the list of competitors looks like folk who have always sailed Larks together). We only had 23 for the 2000s, but the trip to Scotland and a number of Championship clashes was a factor. Just glad that we have the bug as a family. Kids loved a (shared) week of Championship racing.

Merlins get 120 at Salcombe week but Champs usually considerably less. Would have expected 50ish but perhaps the distance to Pwelli is a factor as most active Merlins are Midlands or south coast based.

Single handers seem to be able to cope better, ignoring the laser which is an odd ball. Solo 90 boats, Supernova 90boats Phantoms 50 plus with a few weeks to go
(a definite turn round from the last few years).

As the general age of sailors increases I can see this trend increasing, in my youth I didnt mind going away for a week and spending 6 hours a day on the water. Now I have young kids I cant do that. Personally I skipped my nationals this year in favour of a local sailing clubs sailing week where you just sail for a few hours a day. I wonder if the numbers attending things like Fed Week, Bass week, etc have increased as nationals attendances have dropped?

Only 22 Larks and 38 Merlins at their respective nationals
These are open meeting numbers despite each class being at great venues Even the Scorpions were only in the 40s Why are these numbers so low ? |
