Ooh, I see from the first photo that she has a lovely custom hide-away outboard setup, where you can tilt the outboard up out of the water to keep it from fouling yet it remains relatively unobtrusive. Nice! I don't think you will have too much trouble selling her. Good luck!

The kicked up outboard also gives an extra half-knot of speed when under sail alone. Thanks for the kind words Jim.

Hi Ken,
The new galley and Herreshoff style interior is outstanding. What a lot of fine work you’ve done. Good luck with selling her…..someone is going to be very lucky!

All the best

That's a very nice boat Ken.

Dear KEN
Congrats on selling your boat. I am in desperate need of some info. regarding making my CD 26 have the ability to tilt the outboard.
How did the project go, does the Tohatsu 6 clear the rudder head and the overhead hatch when tilted?
Was the transom solid fiberglass when you cut the notch.
ANY thoughts and photos would be greatly appreciated
Sincerely
Tim Cowling
