    Is there a known seller for used yacht kit? A reputable seller with some track history? Say something like a davit, helm chairs, anchors, etc.?

    I maybe know of two: Sailorman's in Ft Lauderdale (if still there), and Bacon's in Annapolis. They're more like flea markets, though; wander around in case you see something you might need. As is, where is. I dunno if they can respond to specific item requests.

    I'd guess there are more of those around the world somewhere, probably location specific.

    Or there's eBay and similar.

    Sailorman has a couple of decent used Davits right now if that’s what you are looking for.

    Sailorman is an amazing yard sale/ estate sale, semi salvage yard with a crazy Eddy vibe; you’ll be amazed what they have. I stop in often as it’s near the huge West Marine
