CD 15 1/2

Post by kmulligan »

Anyone with any experience with a Cape Dory 15 1/2 rowing/sailing dink? I just saw one available on the side of the road in my area. The sails looked thin and the teak a little rough, the price seemed steep at $4,200 but the hull looked sound and I am intrigued. I was wondering how they sail and row etc., Anyone mount an outboard?

Cd14 prices will vary on condition like any boat.
Price sounds heavy if not turnkey without a nice trailer.
Make a Christmas offer!

Until Kevin posted I was not aware there was a Cape Dory 15 1/2.

In the CD specs page: http://www.capedory.org/cdinfo.html#specs it lists the CD 15 1/2 but when you click on it to get details (yrs mfg., no. mfg., beam, draft, etc.) there is no link to details.

Strange. Perhaps Cathy or others can "unlock" the link if there is a link. Or perhaps so few were built that there is insufficient verifiable data to record.
