... or perhaps when you get back from the Dinghy Show and need to start the conversation with your OH with the words "it was a once in a lifetime deal and we can take that holiday any time ...."

To be fair, it really would need to be for me to pay 20% VAT on another dinghy when decent second hand boats offer comparatively a lot more value.

Nothing to do with the dealer, the used boats have all been snapped up with fleets growing and an explosion of growth north of the border.

Do think the dealer offering a brokerage service has helped firm up prices too. Am very impressed with the professionalism of your new dealer.

That has helped with those wanting to do trade ins certainly as the dealer has a list of people who are interested but cannot run to a brand new boat so putting them in touch has helped for definite.

The last boat I know to have sold was GBR177 which is around 3 1/2 years old and was for sale for £4,400 so a pretty good residual. Really early boats do go for less when they come up but don't hang around for long.

No need to be tetchy about it. :) I mentioned the cheapness of second hand Zeros only to encourage Zeon to buy one. They are exceptionally good to sail.

My personal experience is that mine took quite a long time to sell at (what I thought was) a giveaway price (certainly much less than £4400, but it was 4 years old) and there were 6 or 7 hanging around on Apollo duck at the time. Since then the new dealer seems to be acting as a broker which has helped control supply and used values.

I wasn't, just stating the facts as they are. the dealer has done some brokerage for people and others have changed hands via the CA facebook page et al. You were selling at what turned out to be a quiet time. Things picked up dramatically at the end of the season with all the used boats that came up selling very quickly indeed.

Chill guys. Am look to buy a second boat ( cannot see my main boat being anything other than a British moth anytime soon ) so am in no rush. The advantage of the solution is you get a lot of boat for£2000/2500. Have tested a lot of boats in the last few years and at least I know what I want now and am more than happy to wait until it comes down to my price range. Have gone in a complete circle , seems I long time since I tested Paul’s first d zero and Paul sailed my wife’s lovely pink boat lol Smile

Another advantage of the Solution should you ever take it on the sea, it's not prone to mining. There's a good reason all those D Zero's & Blazes live inland....

What you need is a 300, while it goes through every wave, it’s so fine a bow you start to think it’s a design feature,
