The Cape Dory Board

It is the perfect boat for us at this time of life !!! She has two centerboards they are about 5 feet deep, great for upwind sailing. It has one engine centered with a sail drive, with centerboards and sail drive up she draws 18"..…Ha…..

Ya very exciting the speed is great !!!!!! and the comfort is wonderful. Nice stable platform. Eventually we'll sail to the Bahamas and be based in the Abacos !!!!!

Steve, We are moving on to a Catamaran !!!!! Gemini 105 mc. I've always wanted a at so last year we chartered a Cat in the Abacos. It was a french Fontain Mahe 36…awesome boat but hard to find on the East coast, plenty in the Med. I found this Gemini a 2010 boat at a great price. Very excited !!!!! m

Has anyone installed dingy davits on a CD 30. I've always felt it would be to much for that size boat....but now with a hard dingy I'd like to rethink the issue...

Your thoughts !!!!!!

Totally agree with Nate. I constantly adjust my traverler vs mainsheet adjustments.....you should be able to point far closer to the wind when finessing these to trims......

Does anyone who owns a Cape Dory 30 MK II ever change the sanitary hose from head to holding tank?

I've got the bunk pulled apart and now it seems I'll have to take out the water tank......has anyone succesfuly done this without removing tanks?

Thanks !!!!

Ruth & Leo,

I use a 35# CQR with 30 ft of 5/16th chain with an additional 200 feet of rode. I like the CQR's ability to reset as previously mentioned. I use this on my CD30MKII about 10,000 lbs displacement. Knock wood I have never dragged even in Block Island when it's rippin there. I 'm glad I have a windlass...

When I first started shopping for a boat 11 years ago, I knew I wanted a Cape Dory 30. My wife and I looked through the winter of 09. We had seen a lot and I had narrowed down my choice when we went to Parkers Yard on the Cape for one more look. The 30 we looked at was not great, but I was asked if ...
