US Sailboat Fleet

[erraticnomad]

I apologize if this is the wrong place for this. I am curious if there are any statistics on what the US recreational sail boat fleet is compromised of per manufacturer. I am not even sure something like this exists as I have been searching for awhile and have found nothing. I imagine for the US, Hunter / Catalina is high on that list.

Welcome erraticnomad.

I presume you are looking for a ranking by sales. I've never seen such a table but would not be surprised if one exists for the industry.

I'm unsure what you are hoping to find. The use of the boat would need to be factored in. Can't really compare the number of Hobie Cats with deep water cruising cats. Or a boat that sells for less than $100K compared to one that sells for $500+K. I think you can see the problem.

Cabo, thanks. You are correct, sales or still sailing. I do see you point and do not want to go there with the question. Just interested in data of sales or boats still sailing.

Oh my goodness, sales of boats still sailing adds several more cans of worms

Your welcome is still open. I've been sailing for over 20 years and still learning here.

Any problems, then contact me or any other moderator.

Have fun,

Rich
