Sailingdog, I agree. Sailing is expensive. Show me someone who doesn't think so, and I'll show you someone who makes too much money. :lol: YC fees, race fees, equipment, its all money. Boating in general is expensive, its a luxury that most can't afford and I, nor my parents, certainly couldn't afford it when I was younger (now 26). There are extremely few young people interested in sailing. Go to any hang out (besides a marina) and ask how many sail. Go to a club or a bar ask the same. Take a poll in any high school. Sailing is so far out of sight out of mind that most kids don't even know the difference between the bow and stern of a boat.
When I was younger my parents told me to go outside, or I'd be grounded. So we'd have to find something to entertain ourselves. With regards to the interweb, you just click and BANG, your done. It seems if you search internet everything has already been done, and someone's written a blog about it. So why bother doing it yourself. Apathy will kill any dream.
BTW, I'm not ready to throw away my video games just yet.
