Anecdotal evidence regarding who's buying boats. Just spent two full days down at the yard (doing maintenance on our pride and joy) and can report the following:
1. German bloke in the local pub a bit uncertain at the bar (ordered what I ordered);
2. French people coursing through the chandlers (and not straight off a yacht);
3. Lithuanian man asked me directions (then asked me if I had a trailer for sale);
4. Bumped into local broker who told me he's suddenly ridiculously busy selling boats, with roughly 90% of the buyers being from Euroland.
It makes sense.
