- '88 Cape Dory 28 Flybridge #115
Well, I've been off the water since my Chesapeake days with a Bristol 35.5 sailboat... Recently got the yen to get back...Trawler style this time.. If you've ever owned a big sailboat, the trawler should be a labor saver, however only marginally. Anyway, went on a search for a Cape Dory 28 Flybride. With only 220 or so built they're a bit rare but come up occasionally with the right specs. Coincidentally, just found an '88 in Oriental NC...About 70 miles from the current abode. Nice boat, well equipped with a fresh Volvo 200, and a lot of other things. Bow thruster, AC, Radar etc. Some antique electronics, but they can be refreshed. Took the second look yesterday and tendered an offer and deposit. Fingers crossed that I'll be on the water soon. Wish me luck!
