Cape Dories in movies

Post by Bob L »

Ok, so I was watching "Off the Map" tonight with some sailing friends, and about 3/4 through the movie a CD 27 (I think...it might have been a 25D) shows up. I bet that's the only movie a Cape Dory is in. Anyone know for sure??

Well, it has nothing to do with sailing, taking place in New Mexico. Here's the imdb page on the movie.

I too saw the picture aways back in the theater. Enjoyed the film even more than I already was when the (what I believe to be) a CD 25D came driving into the scene.

If you go to the URL http://www.offthemapmovie.com and click on the "silent" clip trailer - you'll see how a Cape Dory manages to "sail" into a scene in New Mexico.

There appears to be a dorade on the portside. If that is the case, wouldn't that make it a 27? (assuming that as PO hadn't altered the coachtop?)
