Cape Dory 26
I was working on my boat today in Wickford RI and saw another CD looking boat in the marina. Went over to look and I'm pretty sure its a CD26. 3 bronze spartan ports per side and an outboard well. I've always liked the look of the 26's but the thing that caught my attention on this one is it had oar locks! Large wooden blocks astern of the combing winches with these big bronze oarlocks in them. Also had one on the stern which I guess is for sculling. Unfortunately didn't have my camera but I am planning on heading back Sun so maybe can take some pics. Anyones boat here??? It had an old Virginia registration on it I believe.
I would like to see those pictures
We have a CD 26, in Maryland. Those must be some real long oars if one person is going to row.

SLIDESHOW HERE from last fall. I don't have any newer pictures but, then again, the boat looks about the same now as it did then. It was nice running into you again, Mark, even though it took a minute or two for us to remember/recognize each other. I'll let you know when I finally get it in so we can take it out for a spin.
Aloha,
