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.

The theoretical maximum speed that a displacement hull can move efficiently through the water is determined by it's waterline length and displacement. It may be unable to reach this speed if the boat is underpowered or heavily loaded, though it may exceed this speed given enough power. Read more.
Classic hull speed formula:
Hull Speed = 1.34 x √LWL
A more accurate formula devised by Dave Gerr in The Propeller Handbook replaces the Speed/Length ratio constant of 1.34 with a calculation based on the Displacement/Length ratio.
Max Speed/Length ratio = 8.26 ÷ Displacement/Length ratio.311
Hull Speed = Max Speed/Length ratio x √LWL
A measure of the power of the sails relative to the weight of the boat. The higher the number, the higher the performance, but the harder the boat will be to handle. This ratio is a "non-dimensional" value that facilitates comparisons between boats of different types and sizes. Read more.
SA/D = SA ÷ (D ÷ 64)2/3
A measure of the stability of a boat's hull that suggests how well a monohull will stand up to its sails. The ballast displacement ratio indicates how much of the weight of a boat is placed for maximum stability against capsizing and is an indicator of stiffness and resistance to capsize.
Ballast / Displacement * 100
A measure of the weight of the boat relative to it's length at the waterline. The higher a boat’s D/L ratio, the more easily it will carry a load and the more comfortable its motion will be. The lower a boat's ratio is, the less power it takes to drive the boat to its nominal hull speed or beyond. Read more.
D/L = (D ÷ 2240) ÷ (0.01 x LWL)³
This ratio assess how quickly and abruptly a boat’s hull reacts to waves in a significant seaway, these being the elements of a boat’s motion most likely to cause seasickness. Read more.
Comfort ratio = D ÷ (.65 x (.7 LWL + .3 LOA) x Beam1.33)
This formula attempts to indicate whether a given boat might be too wide and light to readily right itself after being overturned in extreme conditions. Read more.
CSV = Beam ÷ ³√(D / 64)
Later offered by C. W. Hood Yachts (1996?) as the OCTAVIA 25.
