Despite that, in terms of a pure numbers game, there will always be an increasing boater population in this country. I suppose you could use an analogy of the recently released figures on emigration of Brits from this country. Despite the rising emigration of Brits (200,000 IIRC, last year) the rising immigration overwhelms this figure and so the UK population is still rising fast. Same principle for boats IMO. Roger
