On the Bay Pictures-Personality and Sailing?

There is life on the water. We don't think so but there are also different sailing communities. From a demographic standpoint each of the boating types have their won characteristics. There are those who are sailboats, speed boats, rental boats, fishing boats, catamarans, dive boats, etc.... 

You don't have to be rich to own a boat and there is something for everyone (Trust me some of the characters you see around look a little salty dog rough on dinghy's that I'm surprised still float! 😏) I came across this older study that shows sailing wasn't based on social status alone. 

Social Status, Self-Development, and the Process of Sailing Specialization 

While the study indicates from their sample group that social stratification there are a lot of extenuating factors to that (Why you have limitations and delimitations). For example, boating classes cost money, you must have access to friends that like to boat, and you need exposure (camp, water, etc... ).  There are some barriers to entry.

I can see myself in a place like this! 🤣
