The VERY best scores for sailors are - of course - dumpster scores :) I found two excellent winch handles on top of the dumpster in Annapolis. A little WD-40 freed up the plastic handle part and they are good as new.
Next to the Rock Hall dumpster I got a 4 foot antenna extension that looked new. Next to my marina dumpster I got a really nice metal safety 5 gallon gas can NEVER BEEN USED. It was dry and had no gas smell at all inside of it. I got a starting battery from our recycle pile that was made in 1990, thrown on the pile in 1993, and worked fine until about 2001. Gel cells last a long time :) I would not normally look inside a dumpster, but I did fish out a large Bimini top made out of dark blue Sunbrella that still had the new cloth smell. I have no idea why anyone would throw this away. WTF?????? It looks like it was never even put up once and it is huge.

So it's random. I have had some great deals on both new an old stuff. For sailing stuff don't forget to look for for the ebay UK site it seems to have a lot more 'Specialist" stuff as they call it. Shipping from the UK has not been a problem so far. Usually, I find the stuff that's perfect, priced right, and ready to go when I'm least prepared to spend the dough,,, Amazon is great too, so is Craigslist, etc. I also have a list of web sites and addresses specialized in used boating / sailing equipment if anyone is interested. And oh.., Don't forget marina flee markets and swap meets. I made out like a bandit last year picking up (Among other things) a very lightly used spinnaker that's an almost perfect fit for Take Five for 100.00 Bucks. -Francois Rivard 1990 34+ "Take Five" Lake Lanier, Ga
