The Cape Dory Board

We've had our CD 27 for sale on this board for a while now. She's sitting on an equipment trailer in our front yard and we need the trailer this spring. We've had some interest at our asking price but she hasn't sold yet so we're entertaining reasonable offers. The link below will take you to our po...

still for sale.

I have a brand new garhauer traveler set to the deck camber of a cd27 that i'm looking to sell. i also have the fiddle blocks that you'll need for the mainsheet with the new traveler set up. i had garhauer cut and bend the new traveler last spring and heven't yet put it on the boat. a change in our ...

Custom designed & fabricated to mount WindPilot Pacific self steering gear to CD 27. The stock mounting brackets that ships with the unit interferes with the CD 27 backstay support. Asking $100 plus shipping from 13126 Note that the part "sandwiched" between the side brackets is part o...

Bought new in spring of 2012, set up for up for our CD 27. Used only 4 times. Includes original box, manual, all tools, turning blocks etc. We're selling the boat so i'm selling the self steering gear separately. Please note that the backstay support on a CD 27 interferes with the standard "MF0...

Owen, Yes, she is still for sale. We've owned her for 10 yrs and used her mostly as a day-sailer. Our kids are out of the house and for the past two years she's seen less use so it's time for us to pass her on to someone who will enjoy her as we have. We bought her from a broker in Virginia so I can...

She's in Oswego NY (lake Ontario). I removed her sails and running rigging last night and will be pulling her out of the water in a couple of days. Over the winter i keep her in a cradle on a large equipment trailer in my yard.

One thing i failed to note, the $20K price does not include the windvane gear. Inclusion of the windvane will bump the price up by $2.5 K

we bought the gear this past spring and have only used it 4 times and i'm pretty sure i can get my price on ebay.

Sorry, Asking $20K. As you can see from pics, the interior has been completely refinished as well as the other upgrades mentioned.

Excellent condition, major improvements include - Strip, barrier coat and paint bottom - Professionally rebuilt YSM-8 engine (low, low hours since) - New Raycor fuel/water separator & new fuel lines (also cleaned fuel tank) - New shaft/coupler/cutless bearing & packing - New spartan seacocks...

Boy, Sounds like quite a list. The notion of rigging a CD 27 with two headsails is interesting. i would think it would screw up the helm balance but i'm not sure it would be any worse than a big genoa (which i don't have). Your assumption about the stuck jib halyard is probably correct. we un-step o...

given that the engine suddenly loses power i second the notion of a fuel system problem. i had the same problem, sudden loss of power under load (engine idled fine). i replaced the fuel filter cartridge and all was well.

John, I'm sort of with Russell on this one. You might consider trading one or both of the Tys for one that can be sailed today. there are enough of us out there who have the defective boat reclamation gene that you should easily find someone interested. We just finished restoring a 1972 19ft. chris ...

never really studied the norvane. i went with recommendations from bob schwartz & john vigor. i'm glad i did. the unit is really well engineered, performs flawlessly and the installation was straightforward.

Jonathan,

very nice job. nice and neat and it should hold up well.
