The Cape Dory Board

Thank you for your interest and I'm sorry I didn't get this posted sooner, but she has been sold. I'm sure you'll see her updates on the site moving forward, as the new owner is a lover of the CD also.

Yes, Callipygian is still for sale here in the Tampa Bay area and I think I posted the new asking price of $13,900. And if anyone out there is still interested but just waiting for a little better deal, let's see if we can move this needle a bit and say that the first $12,900 will get to sail her ho...

Darn,
Now I not only have to pull out the original Loran-C that was on the boat (and I kept there for conversation reasons), but I guess I'll have to lower my asking price $100

The price for the boat is still at $14,900, but I no longer have the trailer available for those of you that had considered the package. I've sold the trailer to help out one of our other Cape Dory friends on Florida's west coast. I'm in the Tampa Florida area and mine is water tight and just had fr...

OK. I've posted this boat for sale on some other sites, so to keep consistency, the price is $14,900 without the trailer. I'm selling the trailer, but seperately as not everyone wants or needs the trailer (and I'm getting plenty of requests for just the trailer.)

I've done some research and found that my price may be a bit high (even though I think she's in excellent shape for her age). Yes, the teak needs a bit of attention, but the hull is solid and we're still sailing and enjoying her. At any rate, I could part with her for $15,500, but that would not inc...

Hi Rob, I sent you a PM, but she's in good shape, I sail her all the time. Only thing needed now(when the we get dryer weather here in Florida), is touch up on the teak. I put 3 coats of Cetol and 2 Coats of clear on all the teak and it held up pretty well, but there's some wear on the exposed edges...

Hi Rob,
Yes she is still available. I've got a few folks coming to take a look this weekend and next, but do not have a buyer.

I've had a lot of contacts and some looks with only a couple of serious buyers, but she's still available with our without the trailer.

I think including the trailer has made this a bit confusing, so I'm also offering Callipygian without the trailer for $16,900. If you've had a look at her already and can share your impression with others, please feel free to do so. I think she's a great boat with a long future! (of course, I'm bias...

Al,
Would you mind sending me a PM of what you sold her for since I'm selling also? My CD25D isn't quite the same, but it will give me a ballpark of where I should hope to be. Thank you very much!
John

Yep, you're all correct. I did reply with my work information and requested more details from this "buyer". Needless to say I have heard nothing at all since. It's amazing the lengths these folks will go to try to cheat someone else.
Thanks for the feedback and advise!

Here's one of the response emails I got: Hello, Thanks for your swift response, And am okay about the present condition of the it as stated by you, I am really pleased with the Boat, but i believed you are telling me the real fact, because i cannot come over to your location now due to the nature o...

Well, it's finally come to this. As much as I don't want to sell her, it's time to think about moving up. We've had a little over two years of enjoyment, but the growing family needs a bit more space. So here she is: 1982 CD 25D Hull #9 she's in good shape with very dry bilge. In 2007 she got New bo...
