Cape Dory HIN model designations

Post by wikakaru »

As part of another thread I started looking into the model letter designations on the Hull Identification Numbers (HINs) of Cape Dory yachts. This will be the 4th (or 4th and 5th for later models) digit of the HIN. I wasn't able to find a single place that listed them all. This is what I was able to cobble together from various posts on the forum:

A = CD10
C = CD14
D = Typhoon Weekender
E = CD25
F = CD28
G = Typhoon Daysailor
H = CD30
I = (Note: I, O, and Q are unavailable as model designations)
K = Typhoon Daysailor (Cuddy)
J = CD27
M = CD31
O = (Note: I, O, and Q are unavailable as model designations)
P = CD270
Q = (Note: I, O, and Q are unavailable as model designations)
R = Intrepid 9M
T = CD36
U = CD33 and CD330
V = CD22
Y = CD25D
Z = CD45
AA = CD40
BB = CD26
EE = 300 MS
FF = CD32
GG = CD30 Mk II

There are quite a few holes in this list. If anyone know of a complete list, or if anyone can fill in a gap with information from your own boat, I'd appreciate the information.

Thanks,

Jim
