The CD 25D is a classic Carl Alberg Cape Dory Design with a full keel, attached rudder, inboard diesel auxiliary. She offers a large cockpit and ample interior with a roomy head forward in place of a V-berth. Cape Dorys seakindly qualities are well known and these vessels are offshore capable, tracks well, easily single handed, and will heave to like a champ. The robust construction quality and the timeless beauty of the Cape Dory 25D will turn heads in any anchorage. A must see vessel if you’re looking for safe, seakindly, quality built vessel. This well-loved vessel has spent most of her life in fresh water. She comes with a Triad Trailer with launch extension and mast support. A custom setup to raise and lower the mast. The boat can be floated onto the trailer and pulled out for bottom jobs, boat work, or to head out to distant cruising grounds. We have had amazing adventures in this boat and shes ready for new owners and more adventures.
She has berths for four. Two settee berths, the starboard settee converts to double, with a quarter berth aft to starboard. L-shaped galley is to port aft of the settee berth with large icebox, two burner alcohol stove, trashcan behind the stove and storage underneath. A large head that takes the place of a v-berth with shower, sink, and wet and dry hanging lockers. This is a very spacious 25 footer with 511’’ headroom throughout the cabins interior. Her six bronze opening ports with an overhead hatch that makes for excellent ventilation. Especially with the wind scoop. Comes with a 110 Volt Air Conditioner custom fitted for the companionway for cool comfort at the dock. Custom companionway steps to free up more interior space and give greater access to the galley sink and engine. (Still have original companionway steps for the new owner.)

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.
