37 here.. I wish I had caught the sailing bug younger. One more thing you might add to the equation is vacation time-- Since the boomer generation is probably the last one to have the luxury of a lifetime career (nowadays jobs change much more frequently) the 5 week vacation will be a thing of the past. Few will hold onto jobs long enough to accrue that much vacay. This means shorter trips for the average working stiff, and more weekending, at least until retirement comes along.. probably the reason most younger folks are into fishing and power boating--they can get to where they want quickly. They probably don't realize that with sailing, it's not so much the destination, but the journey.
