Cape Dory 33 Advice

Post by Mike Connell »

I am considering the purchase of a 1981 33' CD Sloop. Any advice or personal experiences with this boat would be appreciated. The boat would be sailed primarily in the lower Chesapeake. Any particular problems with this model or year? This boat has a 23 h.p. Volvo diesel. Thanks. mc

It is a great boat if previous owner kept it well maintained. Do your homework and get a good surveyor.
