   Hi 
I am aware of  'boatsandoutboards'  but are there other places other than the class association website/forums worth looking at for dinghy buying ?

	Apolloduck seems to have the largest database of dinghy's now. Boats and outboards has really dropped off recently due to i suspect the number of sponsored ads. B&O can also be a very slow site.

	There is of course : http://www.yachtsandyachting.com/classifieds/ Also a well crafted Google search can sometime find a gem on Sailing Club For Sale boards: eg Google the following: "for sale" "Sailing Club" dinghy ono Add extra search terms if you a looking for a specific class.

	Might also be worth informing us what you are looking for. Some people don't advertise other than a bit of paper on the club notice board.
