I have recently restored a cd 10 that has been in storage for many years. The boat was originally purchased in spring 1958 by a family member. I would be interested in any information historical, technical etc (besides the specs provided on the web page) Also of interest would be what is a boat like this is worth if ever (god forbid) I would have to sell it. Any assistance would be most appreciated.
P.S. I really feel for the person who lost his centerboard. Its nearly happened to me a few times
thanks.

I meant 1968--the previous date was a typo. The boat is hull number 895.colin cicotte wrote: I have recently restored a cd 10 that has been in storage for many years.

Re: cape dory 10 history wanted
I have restored an old CD 10 as well. Unfortunately I don't even have the hull # but believe it is a 60's boat. The only history I know of is this is CD's first boat. I occasionally see one used as a tender in Me. where we sail. I believe Robinhood still builds with the mold under their Robinhood name.
CD 10's in good condition are still valuable especially in an area where sailing dinghy's are sought after. I bought mine at a nearby boys camp on a lake in VT. Unfortunatly sailing is not that popular here and tenders are not needed. For that reason I was able to buy the boat reasonably. My guess is a well restored sailing version would fetch 1,000. or more on the coast. You can't replace it for less than 2 or 3,000 for a comparable sailing tender.
Incidentally, we keep the CD 10 in VT for sailing the lakes and use a Nutshell sailing dinghy in Me. as a tender for our CD 28. The CD 10 is a better sailboat, the Nutshell a better tender.
