Video: Cape Dory Yachts - A Standard of Value

[wikakaru]

Yesterday I ran across this video "Cape Dory Yachts - A Standard of Value" on YouTube:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PoJZ8xpwYUU

These days you might call it an info-mercial; it's a shameless 30-minute self-promotion by Cape Dory, but there are lots of good shots of Cape Dories under construction that show how the boats were put together.

I searched the forum and didn't find a link to the video elsewhere, so I assume many of you haven't seen it before.

Smooth sailing,

yes i had seen that about 3-4 years ago. a classic!

hopefully the original poster on youtube doesn't take it down.

so that's what the bronze looked like when the boat was new .. 30 years ago

Wow! Thanks for posting. I'd never seen pictures of Alberg or Andy V.
And those hairstyles--they look like today's COVID hair.
So retro, just like our boats!

I came across it about a year ago. IMHO it's so retro that it's kinda corny, but does offer a rare glimpse into Cape Dory testing out a new marketing format (video). Looks like part of it was taped in Newport RI as I recognize some of the background views.
