I have observed over many years that, were we to make generalisations,
power
boaters tend to identify themselves as more "conservative," whilst sailors
tend to think of themselves as more "liberal."

I know what my observations have been but I wonder what others here might
think.

I'm a stinkpotter and lean to the left. However, I would agree with your
general assessment of the seascape.
