Classic full keel with an exceptional well balanced rig - this boat can sail anywhere you want and is a perfect liveaboard vessel, great for cruising up and down the coast or blue water cruising. Cape Dorys are a great investment boat. They hold value well, and can be spruced up to be show stoppers if that’s your style, and can be relied on for decades of solid use.
What makes this boat different:
-ketch rig which allows a much better sail balance than the cutter as well as worm gear wheel. -new repower with an appropriate sized 20hp Beta and transmission - a must for using the boat in any weather conditions or extensive travel.
The boat is currently on the hard and under winter cover. Local delivery and spring commissioning can be arranged if needed.
Buy as is, or I can arrange any commissioning work/upgrade work needed to turn into exactly what you want. Owned for last ten years so please feel free to ask any questions.
Equipment: Engine and transmission have 100 hours Battery charger and two battery bank Upgraded main winches Wireless tactic nav Genoa, Main, Mizzen, Working Jib, Asymmetrical spinnaker, Mizzen staysail Anchors and rode Composting head Lots of other extras
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)
(formerly listed as CAPE DORY 30 KETCH)
Also available as a cutter. (CAPE DORY 30C).
