The boating year
When boats come to market, when they cut, and how long they stay listed, by month. Every row waits for a year of daily observation of the live market.
When to list and when to buy, month by month, from Sep 2027: it needs a year of daily observation, and we began watching the live market on 21 Sep 2026.
Monthly counts from archived listings follow when the archive captured pages, not when boats came to market, so they are not a season.
Due Sep 2027 · checked 5 Nov 2026
A cut is read when the same boat's asking price falls on the same site. We began watching the live market on 21 Sep 2026; a share for every month needs a full year.
Due Sep 2027 · checked 5 Nov 2026
