We have had an influx of new members to my yacht club this year. I don't know if these people are all new boat owners or just that covid has closed their previous place where they have been keeping their boats. I guess that in a year we will know if they are l still here or sell and or move on. None of these are big boats, 30 feet and under. I not seeing anything too new, all between five and ten years old. I still hold the record though at 47 years, what a feeling! Mostly in my back, knees and one hip, the other hip is only eleven years old.

Our club too has seen a record influx. Most don't have boats though...... Apparently live music, drinks and food on the lawn and a pool made them show up.

So he's not quarantined in a "health facility" in Hong Kong? Good for him. There's a bunch of pilots getting a less than 5 star treatment there right now after "testing positive" (yes forced testing by the government) flying freight in and out of there..... Me, I'm one of the guys that's been sitting on his ass since March 3rd.... but I didn't pull the trigger yet. Getting closer though.

Re: Prices
At my marina, I'm seeing many boats which have been on the market for a year or more selling in the past 3 months. The only boats that can't sell are the ones that have absentee owners and poorly maintained.
That said, we probably are in for a correction when the subsidies....subside.

For the last year he’s been Riverside Cal Rockford I’ll Cincinnati Minneapolis Portland Seattle. Sitting in Portland right now says the gunfire at night makes him think he’s back in Afghanistan. Headed to Honolulu on Sunday landing just about when the hurricane is supposed to hit. Says his alternate will probably be Midway.

Re: Prices
Regarding boat prices, I thought I would post this as a word to the wise. Having sold my 74 Hatteras in April, I put my 56 Ocean Sportie up for sale. A second home purchase made the Ocean expendable. Well I received an offer today of about 50% of what I am asking. The asking price was set with a very experienced broker after reviewing the entire market and the price is right in the middle of the pack of similar boats selling. Long story short, I believe that the virus has also brought out a bunch or bottom feeders and tire kickers looking to find folks who “have” to sell their boats for economic reasons. Fortunately, that is not my case. Needless to say, I instructed my broker to tell the prospect that we would not respond to his offer. For those selling, watch out for the buzzards.
