The Cape Dory Board

The one on yachtworld doesn't have the interior modifications that the Colorado one had

That's the one I believe. I thought he had it for sale at one time, did he ever sell it?

Yes, it is Dux a synthetic line, very strong designed to actually save weight aloft, but not sure it makes much sense on weight saving on a 25footer. I wonder why he didn't put the rails and lifelines back on? It is a nice boat, however there used to be one out in Colorado tha a guy redid the interi...

Well, I surely can appreciate the extrapolation theory in terms of pricing, which I guess that would mean that my CD31 which cost 65k in 1983 would be well over 300k in today's prices. Very nice to fantasize about that figure, but doubt seriously if the market would bear that.. I surely hope he gets...

Just visited Yachtworld and browsing the for sale ads for Cape Dory. They have a 25D for sale, 1984 for 59,999. According to their text, the replacement value without upgrades, is 120,000. replacement with upgrades, 180,000. If this broker gets this price for this owner, I'm surely going to give him...

John, have you checked out the CD27 in Panama City for 6900? might be worth a drive...

lol, yeah, if you had 20k you could be very close to my CD27...when you get 20k give me a call and I bet you we could work something out, just a thought.

Hey John, any further luck finding your Cape Dory, we have spoken in the past, just wondered if you were having any luck? Randy

You can also try Sailboatlisting.com they have a few there and they are not projects. There is also a place in Maine, boat resue or something along those lines that restores typhoons. Hope this helps you find what you are looking for.

The rigging is called Dux, it is a synthetic rigging that is very low stretch, very strong, and reduces the weight, expecially aloft. They use eyes to lace through sort of like the old sailing ships did to tension the rig.

I would check Spartan Marine for the Hardware and then have a local ships carpenter fabricate a table. As you know already I have a 1979 CD27' with the optional foldup table purchased in 79 when it was offered as an upgraded option. Pm me with you email address and I'll go down to my boat and send y...

sent you a pm

Hi Owen, I am surprised you haven't found a CD 27 that you would be happy with yet. I'll throw mine back out there in the mix. I know the complete lineage of mine, I am the 3rd owner. The original still lives in Stuart, Fl. where the boat is located, the 2nd owner is in Miami living aboard a CD 28, ...

Ron, I'm sure thru your travels you have met some nice Cape Dory sailors, I know I have. I'm sure with them, there would be an offer at times to go sailing and scratch the sailing itch that gets us all at one time or another. Now if you wish to ever downsize, I have 2 Cape Dorys a 27' (that's for sa...

Please pm me your valid email address and will be glad to send you pics and spec sheets
