She is a 1979 Cape Dory 28, Hull No. 225. She was one of the first CD 28s with the updated cabin layout (teak and holly sole, 60 gallons freshwater tankage, etc.). She is USCG documented.
I have owned her about 10 years. In that time, she was sailed every summer, as far south as Shelter Island and as far north as Muscongus Bay. I have also done some casual racing and she sails well against her handicap.
She came with a number of nice options including a fresh water cooled engine, opening midship hatch and hot and cold pressure water. The prior owner gave her an epoxy bottom job. She is very original, but I have added Schaefer roller furling, a Schaefer main sheet traveler, a spinnaker halyard, a Spartan anchor roller and a Standard Horizon knotmeter. In addition to routine maintenance, I have replaced the bowsprit, replaced the forward hatch, refurbished the midship hatch, replaced the cabin sole, replaced the VHF radio and replaced the prop shaft and cutlass bearing. The mainsail is about 9 years old and in very good condition. The 135 genoa is about 6 years old and in excellent condition. The engine is the original 13 hp Volvo MD7A diesel which still runs good.
She is in Duxbury, MA. She is out of the water now but I plan to launch her sometime in the next 2-3 weeks.
Priced to move at $18,000. I would also consider a trailerable sailboat in the 18-22 foot range with traditional lines and basic accommodations in partial trade.
NEW PRICE: $17,000
