The fleet of boats is just getting older and older
In Denmark, where I live, there are approximately 20,000–23,000 sailing boats + 25,000–30,000 motor boatswith permanent moorings. I have information from reliable sources that a maximum of 10 brand new sailing boats were sold to the Danish market. This gives a replacement rate of just 0.04% (which was also the case between 2008 and 2019).
With that figure, the market is practically non-existent. I myself have my boat moored in a medium-sized marina (500 berths). In that marina, a maximum of 15 of the boats (both motorboats and sailing boats) are from 2010 or newer. What will the market look like in 10 years' time? Right now, the clouds are looking dark.

The veil is lifted on Gitana 18, the new Maxi Edmond de Rothschild
After many months of work, waiting and preciously guarded secrets, the new Gitana/Verdier designed Maxi Edmond de Rothschild was unveiled this Wednesday, December 3rd in Lorient, Brittany.
Question about terminology.
Hi, Idk if this is the place to ask.
I've been writing a couple of stories that take place inside a ship (A XIX century english Icebreaker, if you know, you know)
Thing is since I have never set a foot on a boat and/or ship before, so I been having massive issues with the terminology, what's what aboard the ship, deck names, and the rigging system. So, I began to read The young sea officer's sheet anchor by Darcy Lever, it's been helpful but I just wanted to see if someone could perhaps give me any advice that's perhaps not registered in written form, experience wise perhaps. (I would appreciate any advice tbh)

Questions for an Edinburgh sailor? AMA!
Self explanatory, I sail primarily in the Forth which is the "sea" that cuts into East Scotland but have also sailed in the Mediterranean a bit. Got any questions for me?
Been sailing a Seal 22 for the past eight years
