Lustyd is definitely right that the things there were crazy numbers of were RIBs and smallish-but-fancy day-trip motor boats with sun-loungers. Outnumbered everything else 10:1 or more. I'm not sure I agree that sailing yachts outnumbered cruising motorboats, would have guessed at least 2:1 and maybe 3:1 in the motors' favour if you count the big ones. And "cruising sailboat" category includes that with shortish mast for the size, roller furling main, big engine and big deck saloon with wheel inside. I suspect those may not be aimed at fans of beating to windward.
Some very cute boats in the smaller "fun daysailer with somewhere to get out of the rain or sleep for one or two nights" category. Rationally I would be better off with one of those than a cruisy type.
If it was any bigger in the past it must have been exhausting!
