From seller via "capedorysailor" on Instagram:

Asking $15k OBO

Mast was destroyed when storage building burned down, actual vessel was not harmed by fire as she was stored offsite.

In good condition for her age. Interior in excellent condition. Exterior shows excellent for her age.

Perkins 4108. Self tailing winches. Sails onboard. Comes with similar mast removed from other vessel. Transportation available. Vessel located in Haverhill, Massachusetts.

Crushing date is Sunday, Sept. 1st if she doesn't sell.

Edit: 1983, hull no. 64

Well that's a shame. $15k for a CD 36 without a rig is still a great deal for someone who wants a highly capable boat but is short of immediate funds. I bet it could be had for a lot less if it's slated for the crusher. There is a guy with a website explaining how to rebuild a CD 36 into a voyaging machine and all info is free....

I agree, now that we have some facts this seems like a golden opportunity on the cusp of a tragedy.
I believe I’m familiar with this website you’ve mentioned. :wink:
