Anyone know the owner of the "Sea Whch" out Sesuit Harbor?

Post by GeorgeH »

We were sailing in Buzzards Bay a few weeks ago, heading to the Cape Cod Canal when Maria and I saw CD31 on an alternate tack. The boat was named "Sea Whch" and we got some great pictures of her when she passed by. We tried to look her up on the Cape Dory directory but she wasn't listed. We have several nice photos of her and will send them along if the owner sends me PM.

I'm guessing that is the ladder bracket playing tricks on you and the actual name is Sea Witch.

Don't know the folks though. Sorry.

Could probably find it on the USCG registry.

There are 56 boats named Sea Witch on the USCG registry including this one. Doesn't show the name of the current owner. A previous owner was Robert Burger. Looks like current owner has had her since 2004.

Pretty high tech suit of sails on that old girl. Also, the club for her staysail has been removed AND her staysail stay. :roll: That seems a bit iffy to me. They have retained the intermediate lowers though. Perhaps they have increased the size of the forestay when they decided to modify the rig. Inquiring minds want to know :?:

I am not sure but I believe the owner may be (or was at one time) Bill Romeo. Bill has not posted on this board since April 2007.

This is his profile page on this website:

As Sarah and Jeff suggested, the CD 31 is "Sea Witch".

Thanks Jeff for correcting me on the boats name. I should of figured out it was Sea Witch, but I never did well watching "Wheel of Fortune".

Thanks Roberto, I sent a PM to the Bill from the link you sent.

The replacement registry shows that boat as:

Owner Email City State Model Length Year Hull# DateAdded IP LastEdit EditedBy Comments
Bill Romeo wromeo@navimedix.com Sudbury MA 31 31 1983 9 20060711 66.151.227.20 20150801 dino Sea Witch - Hull #9

Note the sail number in the picture agrees with the hull number.

Bly? Does this match the info from your membership records? If not, please advise so I can update the replacement registry.
