Cape Dory built 45 CD Dinks from 1971-1973.

Please send pictures.

Do you still own the Dink and would you be interested in selling it?

We are looking to purchase a used Portland Pudgy. Please let us know if you or someone you know may have one for sale and what, if any, non-standard/basic boat equipment may be included in your price. We are in NW Wisconsin on Lake Superior and so we are aware that shipping will be expensive. Thank ...
