This bulletin board, hosted by the CDSOA, Inc., is the on-line meeting place for all Cape Dory owners and groups. We welcome everyone's questions, answers and comments about Cape Dory sailboat
Is your CD 28 for sale I will pay up to $12,000 for CD 28 w/ roadworthy trailer, or, up to $9,000 w/o trailer. Must be located east of the Rockies. I am NOT looking for a project. Must be sound in all respects. Minor cosmetic needs are okay. Prefer club footed foresail with roller furling, with all halyards and sheets led to cockpit. I will be particularly inquisitive about standing rigging, chainplates, sails, deck soundness and engine. I am a cash buyer and am prepared to close immediately for the right boat. Please include comprehensive details about your boat, digital photos, and bottom line in your first reply. I am motivated, looking for a good deal, and ready to take action
I realize that I am going out on a limb here, but this post reads like a scam.

Good luck with your search. I just completed a one year refit on my 1975 CD 28 Stacy B., from cracked decks, hardware upgrades, sails, interior, all new nav systems, port lights, and a new Beta 16 to name a few. She was a fresh water, Great Lake boat and I bought her for 12,000.00 and put another $28,000.00 in her. She appraised for 29,000.00 in Bristol condition. There are some cheap CD 28s out there, but beware. I had no moisture in my decks and only a hand full of blisters, she was a good boat to start with, but now she is a great boat and is worth every penny I spent on her. Just remember quality costs money even in older boats.
Stacy B. was converted to wheel steering at the factory. She started life in Michigan until 2006 when she went to Lake Hartwell in South Carolina. I then bought her and started the refit in Savannah, GA and finished it in Oriental, NC were we live now. She is named after my late Wife Stacy B. Pickard, she lost her battle to breast cancer 5 years ago when my kids were 3 and 2. She was 34. What is neat about the boat, is was that her construction started on Dec. 10,1974, which is also my Wife's birthday.
Beautiful picture, Flyboy! I'm sure Stacey B. will bring your family lots of joy and great memories. My only regret is I didn't get started with sailing until my children were already grown.
