CD 25 vs. Meridian 25

Post by casampson »

Through an unexpected chain of events, I have exchanged my beloved Cape Dory 25 for a Rhodes Seafarer Meridian 25. I really love the look of the Meridian and appreciate many of its features, but I have no idea of how it will sail compared to the Cape Dory. Any thoughts on this? General observations regarding the Meridian 25? Any input at all would be appreciated. Thanks!

The Meridian will be a pretty similar ride to the Cape Dory. I had a Rhodes Swiftsure (same builder) and it was a sweet sailing boat. Phil Rhodes really knew what he was doing.
