The Cape Dory Board

What month in a typical year do Cape Dory's start to come on the market?

These two photos show what you were describing in the earlier post very well. Thank you for your response.

What solutions are there for storing the tender / dingy on a CD 36 during bluewater passages? With a boom vang in place, can an 8’ inflatable be stowed on the cabin roof? With the club removed from the staysail (and fair leads installed on the trunk cabin), can a tender be stowed forward of the mast...
