I like the Cape Dory's, sorta a cheap Flicka. A small one is here
having all the bright work restored. Nicely appointed, sturdy, well
crafted. Not like most cheap production boats that look a dime a
dozen.


Sadly, they don't sail well in these waters where winds can easily
drop below 10 knots often. Like your boat, most Cape Dorys are
powerboats or stay tightly lashed to the dock.
I spend a few summers sailing a Typhoon...great boat. I like the Ketch
rigged 30 the best, but again my boat would sail circles around it.
Then again my boat outsails my friend's beautiful Tayana 48 DS,
another boat that's faster than yours.
