New owner CD 27

Post by Walter Hobbs »

Out of curiosity, I'm compiling a list of differences between the years of 27 production.

Early hull #35 1977

No teak eyebrow.
Pedestal table not folding.
Blue nonskid. Not tan.
Fiberglass cabin sole, not teak and holly
Was there a bowsprit option?
Yanmar YSM8.

What other differences are there?
Anything worth upgrading to?

Thanks

I just acquired a 1978 27' Cape Dory. From what I know, the folding table started in '78. Same Yanmar 8 though.
