Cape Dory 27 Featured in Cruising World

Post by Sea Hunt Video »

Eben Horton is the former caretaker of S/V Sadie, a Cape Dory 27. Eben, a/k/a "Nebe" on this board, wrote an interesting article about his Cape Dory 27, entitled "A PERFECT first BOAT" that is featured in the May 2019 issue of Cruising World.

Congratulations Nebe :!:
Fair winds,

Thanks for the heads up Roberto. My 27 is my first boat, so I'm biased to that line of argument.

Thanks !

I’m glad you enjoyed the article. I’ll never get over my love for that boat.

The new boat is pretty sweet too but not as easy to handle as the CD27.
(New boat is a 1965 Columbia 31)
