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/ - 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: http://www.google.co.uk/search?hl=en&safe=off&q=%22for+sale%22+%22Sailing+Club%22+dinghy+ono&btnG=Search&meta=cr%3DcountryUK%7CcountryGB - "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.

Well said Russ.
Buy a Cherub if you want your insurance company to hate you. Or to practice your angle grinding. Just make sure you put the rubbish in the correct bin when you are done. ------------- Vareo - 149 "Secrets" http://www.TandyUKServers.co.uk" rel="nofollow - TandyUK Servers |
