Never really thought about this, but is this time of year the wrong time to sell a boat, or does it not matter that much now that most people sail all year round?
I've just put my RS600 up for sale but does anyone think I might have more luck either after xmas or even next spring? By the way if anyone does want a 600, I am open to cheeky offers! |

Definitely wait until spring. Kind of doubt this is the moment when many people are thinking "Great time to get a boat I'll have to do lots of swimming to get to grips with". Edited by Stefan Lloyd |

Personally it doesnt bother me when I buy regarding cold weather as I
sail all year round anyway. However I am more likely to buy at
the end of the season because I know that prices are reduced then.
I however am the exception to the rule; boat prices are deflated at this time of year and demand is lower so it is not the greatest time to sell. The best time to sell is probably february - march onwards as this is when demand is highest (at the start of the season). |

It all depends on demand ... I just sold my Musto Skiff (I have a new one on order), I had 4 people call about it in a week;t one brought it two of the others brought other Mustos within the same week ... Like I say depends on demand for your class. Rick |

Why are you selling Jamie? Are you moving into something bigger and better? Can you go much faster on Pennine! |

No, just getting a newer 600, I'd like a Musto but I want to spend another year in the 600 to see if I can improve at all, it's a running joke in the class that I come second in every open meeting so I want to see if I can do any better than that with a newer ship.
Plus it's an easier step financially, rather than going from a £2500 RS to a £6000 Skiff! Gives me another year to argue with the sailing club committee that a Musto is perfectly safe on Pennine! |

A bad time to sell is just after you've paid the compound fees! When the fees come seem to dictate when people sell their boats though I guess it depends on the class. For expensive boats it may be better to wait until the spring.
