I'm thinking that filter changes, in the absence of picking up some problem
fuel, should be a function of the total amount of fuel that flows through
the filter and not an automatic once a year thing. I'd like to know what
experience other sailboat owners have had, recognizing that hotter climates
and fuel from funkier places than Portland, Maine might dictate more
frequent changes.

I think you are right Roger, except some filters degrade over a long
time just sitting in fuel, but your slip neighbor claimed he drained
the fuel system. I have an inline vacuum gauge that tells me when to
change the filter.
