Cd 27 vs 270

[Rudy Morris]

Saw model of a CD with a swing keel and was told it was a
Cape Dory 270. I would like some more history on 27 and
270 if any one has it. Thanks

Believe that the CD270 was introduced sometime between 83-84. Gone by 87. Was Dieter Empacher design, not Alberg.
LOD 27'3', LWL 20'9', Beam 9'5' (yes it was wide), Draft 3' board up/7' board down, displacment 8380#,
Ballast 3250#, Sail Area 398 sq ft., Westerbeke 2 cyl fresh water cooled diesel. Lots of room below.
