The Cape Dory Board

I have to thank all of you for your comments regarding whether or not Cape Corys have to be white. Summarizing the comments: 1. Cape Dorys look good in most any color though I suspect most agree we wouldn't want to see one in pink. Darker colors for up north, lighter colors for the south. 2. Cape Do...

Thank you all for your spirited comments! I like the Cape Dory's in all shapes, sizes and colors.

Does one affect the value of a CD if painted other than white?

I like the lines of Cape Dorys and they look really good when the white gel coat hulls have been well kept. Is there a bias though that suggests CDs must remain white? I've seen several recent examples of CDs where the hulls have been painted other colors and they also look good.

Many thanks Rebinva, I have been in contact with Jim at the marina.

Am seeking a very good condition CD 25 with furling head sail (sails in good shape) good teak, etc. Would like to have trailer but not essential.

thx.
