deepblueme is on a distinguished road
I would think that part of it is also that sailing isnt ""cool"".
When I say that I mean it doesn't have the TV coverage, Advertising or Heros that kids tend to see (think Freestyle Motocross or just Motocross, skateboards, snowboard and so on).

I live near a local lake in Denver and on any given weekend there are maybe a couple of kids out sailing other than with the local clubs which do a good job it seems.
When I drive by the moto track there are ALOT of kids out riding And the shate parks are stupid packed with kids.

The skating could be a money thing the parks are free and a board is cheep but dirt bikes are in the same leauge as sailing.
