Badminton & Lawn Bowling
Steve,Several years ago, I saw a listing of recreational activities according to popularity ranking. I don't remember exactly but it seemed that sailing was way down the list, somewhere below badminton! Its simply a numbers game with the "powers that be" deciding that the greatest number of viewers would be interested in something else. This is the same reason that there are so few sailing programs on tv. ESPN sometimes has a "Yachting" segment and Speedvision does have a few shows but then look at the number of auto racing, fishing, cooking, football and other "ball" sports. I once saw another number, again don't remember exactly, but far less than half a million Americans have ever been sailing. That means there are hundreds of millions of poor, deprived souls out there!Maybe someone still has that old ranking and could post it.Dick
