I've just finished reading Jimmy Cornell's excellent book, 200,000 miles. He includes figures for trends in cruising showing a significant decline between 2010 and 2015, 2015 being the latest figures cited in the book. This seems to go against the evidence of people I've talked to, expressing their experiences of increase crowding in anchorages and on temporary and permanent moorings. On the other hand I here brokers complaining of tight used and new markets for boats.
Now we're in 2020 do we think the numbers have gone up since 2015? Or does the market now have a new dynamic and what is it? Have the Youtube sailing channels had an impact? Any opinions or has anyone got some hard (numbers) evidence?
