Re: weather channel
Looks like a CD 30 to me. Hopefully the owner and crew are OK...

Re: weather channel
I've seen a couple different photos of this boat used on online Bermuda news sites. I saw a couple Cape Dorys in Bermuda. None which appeared to be in current use.....but they were floating.

Re: weather channel
The rig looks like toast, but the hull looks like it came to a soft grounding. This boat should sail again!!

Re: weather channel
yep that's a 30 alright, companion way offset to starboard and older vintage notice the reverse wheel that has the worm gear drive instead of quadrant and cables.

Re: weather channel
I wonder if there are some folks that sail their boats to Bermuda then fly home, never to return again. I saw a number of boats that had gone ashore and had then been abandon for years. Maybe they had been abandon before they went ashore. I wouldn't be surprised to find that boat in the same place a year from now, Steve.
