CD 25D vs. Cal 25?

Post by Roger Coutu »

Not sure if I will get a biased response based on this being a Cape Dory forum, but here it is:

Moving up from my first cruising boat, an Aquarius 21 which I adventurously took everywhere including off shore to Block and MV. Been looking at the CD 25D and Cal 25 and since there isn't alot of comparison info, haven't made up my mind yet. These boats are similar although the Cape Dory looks much nicer. The Cal 25 appears to have quite a few voyages under her belt despite not having a full keel. I'm not a racer or a future circumnavigator but would like to know which one is faster, sturdier, better built and the most comfortable for the normally short handed sailor?

Sincerely,
Roger
