We Bought Her!!!
On Friday we purchased a 1977 Cape Dory 28, #149, soon to be named Sandpiper. She is currently near Knapps Narrows, Md.
The survey, while very favorable overall, shows that she needs a "little" work prior to coming home to Meyer Creek, near Lancaster, Va.
Thanks to everyone who answered my several questions a week or so ago.
See you on the Bay.

You will LOVE the smallest big Cape Dory - I do. She'll be faithful in the toughest conditions and she's beautiful.
Sail on,

There are old sailors and bold sailors, but there are no old, bold sailors.
Reef early and often. It's easier to shake out a reef when one is bored than it is to tuck one in when one is scared.
When your only tool is a hammer, all your problems look like nails.

Congratulations to you, T and Holly.
I too own a 1977 CD28 hull 144 and am very pleased with the boat. Bought it in June 06 and after quite a bit of work over last winter and early spring put her in the water last May.
Am sailing out of Whitehall Marina in Annapolis and over the 4th and 5th sailed her with a friend to St Michaels and back for my first overnighter. In 3-4 foot waves and a 20 knot west wind enroute back to Annapolis the boat sailed like a charm at about 6 knots.
If you have any questions about this model don't hesitate to get in touch as I have learned a lot in the past year.

Thank you to everyone for the kind words!
And to those, like Dixon, who offered to take questions, double thanks, we will probably be calling on you.
Sounds like you had a fine 4th of July celebration Dixon.

Great One!
T & Holly,
You've got a great boat - congrats! I'm sure you'll find her to be a source of many great adventures. I'm a few years into hull #241 now, so feel free to toss me a note. If you have questions, I'll be glad to help out if I can.
Best,
