This auction is for a 1980 Cape Dory 27 sailboat. Alberg designed coastal cruiser. Inboard diesel engine original Yanmar YSB8 8HP. The Cape Dory 27 is a well designed and built coastal cruiser highly regarded by sailors for it's solid construction and heavy weather comfort. She features a full keel with a draft of 4 feet and an 8.5 feet beam. Previous owner purchased this boat in Panama City, Flordia 3 years ago and sailed her down the Gulf of Mexico, around the tip of Key West and back north to her present location in Jacksonville, NC. PO attests to her performance in both light and heavy weather. She is tiller steered, simply rigged and can be single-handed easily, but large enough for two to comfortly cruise with 6 feet of standing head room. There are three head sails, including a spinnaker, working jib and storm jib. Jibs are hank-on. The mainsail has been ripped and patched, but should be replaced. The hull and topsides are in good condition for a boat of this age. A good buffing and wax will restore the fiberglass to beautiful condition. DC power is provided by two good marine grade batteries. The batteries are kept charged by an installed battery charger. Running and anchor lights all work. Depth sounder works but might need calibration. Shrouds, forestay, backstay, deck stepped aluminum mast and chainplates are in good shape.
