Please pay close attention: ENGINE: there is no engine. The original Volvo diesel has been removed, the propeller shaft is laying free in the engine compartment. This saves the new purchaser from the labor and expense to remove that old engine. (you can't get parts for a 35 year old engine anyway.) This leaves you to select the engine you prefer.

I just learned that during the first 3 years of manufacture the port lights were NOT bronze. See photos. The thru-hull fittings are all bronze and there is the factory lightening ground protection system installed.

The Cape Dory 28 offers her owner more practical cruising features combined in one design than other yachts of her size ... features such as a self-tending club footed jib for effortless windward sailing ... a bowsprit that incorporates an anchor roller ... and a large Volvo Diesel that adds safety and dependability. These features, when combined with the famous Alberg full keel and moderate, well-distributed sail plan result in a yacht that is easily handled by a minimum of crew. Her hefty displacement of 9,000 pounds, and her long keel with attached rudder allow the Cape Dory 28 to hold her course in a seaway. These features mean comfortable motion, stiffness, and security to all aboard. Other standard equipment such as bronze opening ports, lightning ground system, bronze seacocks on all thru-hull fittings and solid bronze hardware, reflect the determination of Cape Dory to supply a cruising boat of the highest standards.
Take a close look at the Cape Dory 28. We think you'll agree she is the answer to a cruising family's dreams.
