1979 Cape Dory Ketch for sale. 30'. Volvo Diesel Engine. Located in New Hamburg, NY (Dutchess County). Boat is in sailing condition but could use some TLC. Asking $12,000, but price is negotiable.

My Grandpa loves the boat but can no longer take care of it. Looking for a new owner that appreciates classic boats.

I recently looked at ths boat out for a friend. this is a 31 yr old raw water cooled boat. there is a water line 5-6 inches above the settee floor. neither the manual or electric bilge pump worked. there is a soft spot on the starboard side extending from the area of midship chainplates to the bow and it is extremely soft. as i remember the cockpit sole is soft. the area below the midship chain plates , is rust colored. it is one of those musty, cluttered boats that is difficult to examine. there is no holding tank, it is plumbed directly overboard, not exactly legal. i was told it had not been covered the last 2 years. with a lot of time, money and elbow grease this boat might be recovered but in this market there are lots of other boats out there for less money and work. i advised against it.

Thanks Jack. At the price, one is tempted. With your comments, one is warned!

Another benefit of this board!

The price is low because it needs some work. I have been advised that the pumps do work.

The $12,000 asking price is commensurate with the boat's condition. The seller even points out that it needs TLC. So if you're looking for a fixer-upper, it's worth looking at, judge for yourself, then make a decision. You'll pay double for a CD30 in good condition.

A 1979 CD30 in good shape could fetch between $20,000 and $25,000. Right now, for example, YachtWorld has a 1980 CD30C listed at $29,000 (Chestertown, MD); 1977 CD30C for $19,000 (South Portland, ME); 1976 CD30K for $24,000 (Punta Gorda, FL); 1977 CD30K for $32,000 (Groton, CT); 1977 CD30K for $15,900 (Wilmington, NC); 1977 CD30K for $22,000 (Palatka, FL).
