She is indeed a sturdy little bluewater cruiser, one of Alberg's best. Of course, I may be a little biased because I owned a Cape Dory 27 for many years, and a Cape Dory 25D before that. Be sure to join the Cape Dory bulletin board and get more useful tips from fellow owners.<br />Fair winds and calm seas,<br />John V.

I am set to purchase a run-down yet sturdy Cape Dory 28, and I'm sure she qualifies as "heavy displacement." I will definitely think back to this post once I get into my first storm with her! <br /><br />As a sidenote, I just want to say I love reading your blog. I'm 26 years old and since last year have been on a journey to find and refit a small bluewater sailboat which I plan on taking wherever the currents / winds will take me. To that end, I've been doing a lot of reading and studying, and you are one of my favorite authors on the matter (mostly because you introduced me to the point of view of "Go young, go small, and go now.") <br />Please never stop writing. And you mentioned in another post that no one would buy a book made out of these blog posts, but know that I would! <br />Best,<br />MarcoMarco Pinhohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07807693747439332849noreply@blogger.com
