Boat Use Stats 2009-2011
John Courter has generated some boat use statistics for all of us to ponder. Check these out:
I am most disappointed by the weather-correlated use stats. I guess we really are a bunch of fair-weather sailors. However, the overall use is up quite a bit since 2010, which is great. I wish we could correlate each month with average windspeeds and see what the result is.

ReplyDeleteWe're not fair weather sailors...!

ReplyDeleteI don't think precip has much to do with it and that temp is only half of it. what if you overlay sunset and qtrly instruction/finals dates.
ReplyDeleteMaybe the reason we see some holdout in Nov, despite similar temps (and the lower usage) we see in wtr qtr is that it's early in the qtr, there's a sailing habit started from earlier quarters' new membership and a new crop of campus students have arrived...but DST, the academic calendar (fall qtr finals, break, early sunsets) and the cold kill the momentum started in spring qtr. the better Mar DST/temps can't restart the momentum given the academic calendar: finals, break...and likely lapsed membership that would require a different data study.
on a related note, membership/usage, I'm curious if moving officer elections to spg qtr might help.
