Please help Need exact cape dory 28 length

Post by arch007 »

I am trying to get a wet slip and I need the exact length of my cape dory 28.

I wonder if anyone knows the length of the cape dory 28 INCLUDING the bow sprite ?

Thanks in advance

The bowsprit is just under a foot, if I remember correctly. A 30' slip should work fine, although a 36' makes it really nice so you don't protrude into the fairway at all.
I'm disinclined to acquiesce to your request. Means no.

Any way cape dory is 28 feet WITH bow sprite ?

Wet slip can only take 28 feet WITH bow sprite.

I guess there is no way a cape dory 28 is 28 feet with bow sprite ?

Per the CD 28 specifications in the owners manual the LOA (with bowsprit) is 29' 6 3/4".

Does bow in vs. bow out make a difference? If the bowsprit can overhang the dock a bit, you'll fit just fine.
