1983 Cape Dory 25D

1983 Cape Dory 25D Hull #130

I bought this boat in Connecticut in November of 2022. I promised myself that I would give sailing another try before my health kept me from doing so. I promised myself and the Mrs. I would take two years to do so and that window is coming to a close. My health is such that I realize that I can no longer do what I once did. This is my second Cape Dory 25D. I love this boat and am reluctantly selling her. The previous owner was responsible for most of the cosmetic improvements. When he bought her he had the mast removed, put her inside. Just some of the work he had done is: Removed all the stanchions, removed any rot and reglassed, repainted and new non-skid all around. They re-bedded all fittings that were removed. While the boat was in the shed he removed the engine and took it to a certified Yanmar repair shop in Oriental NC and had it rebuilt. Top sides received four coats of primer and 5 coats of Axelseal paint. I have documentation for all this work and the work I have done.

This is not a project boat is likely one of the best examples of a 25D on the East Coast. Prior to my purchase, she was kept inside every winter for 5 years.
