A Mid-Month ‘Classy’ Check-In

Recently, the weather has been sunny and warm, plus, spring is not far away. If you’re thinking about sailing a new boat this summer, it’s a good time to browse the Classy Classifieds. Or perhaps you need to list your boat for sale so you can move up? One of our readers will certainly be interested in the boat you have for sale. Below are a few of the recent additions to our Classy Classifieds.

These first three recent additions are all qualified to take you cruising. The Mariner 36 is already in Mexico and says it’s been cruising off the grid for 16 years. A Valiant 50 (next photo) will take you anywhere in comfort and safety, while the steel Roberts Offshore 38 (below) is a rugged design and is also already in Mexico.

We remind all sellers that the internet is full of scammers, many of whom offer to buy your boat “sight unseen” and offer to send an agent to pick it up with a cashier’s check — don’t do this. Buyers and sellers should meet in person at a safe time and place.

Also, a reminder, we have some basic tips for buyers and sellers, with online articles for each. Read these tips for sellers and these tips for buyers.

Items under $1,000 are free and are a great way to help you spring-clean your garage or dock box. There are many sailors who would appreciate putting your pre-loved items to good use. Add your under-$1,000 items for free here.

When you post your classified, it goes online immediately and will come out in the next available magazine. Spring is arriving soon, so it’s a great time to be sailing the boat of your dreams. The next print Classifieds ad deadline will be February 15 at 5 p.m. for the March issue.
