I have the opportunity to purchase a Cape Dory 270 from an aquaintance and would like some feedback from those who are familiar with this boat.
I have all the specs and photos but have yet to make the trip and personally look her over.
I like the design and although I've owned retractable keel boats in the past I've never had any experience with a keel/centerboard.
There is 6' headroom......is that throughout the main cabin only?
The 13 hp diesel should be ok as I'll do my sailing on a large lake and don't have currents to contend with.
Any info from CD owners will certainly be appreciated.
Thanks,
Mike
