Cape Dory 27 sails full canvas on calm blue water

Τι καλύπτει αυτό το βίντεο

Five heavily depreciated bluewater hulls — the Allied Seawind 30, Contessa 26, Pearson Triton 28, Cape Dory 27, and Westsail 32 — are profiled as affordable ocean-capable platforms, each priced well under $20,000 in project condition.0:42 The Allied Seawind 30, designed by Thomas Gilmer and the first fiberglass boat to circumnavigate (Alan Eddy, aboard Apogee, 1962), sells for $8,000–$15,000; its primary inspection concern is chainplate corrosion where fittings were glassed or bolted through the deck.1:09 The Contessa 26, designed by Jeremy Rogers and David Sadler on Nordic folk boat lines, offers a narrow beam, deep full keel, and transom-hung rudder for exceptional tracking; headroom is limited to 5 feet 8 inches and plywood chainplate bulkheads rot over time.2:33 The Pearson Triton 28, designed by Carl Alberg and introduced at the 1959 New York Boat Show, runs $4,000–$18,000 depending on condition; its balsa-cored deck requires a full soft-spot survey.4:21 The Cape Dory 27, also an Alberg design built in Rhode Island, draws 4 feet and features bronze hardware and a bridge deck; cockpit scuppers are undersized and many bluewater owners enlarge them to two inches.5:42 The Westsail 32, a double-ended cutter by William Creelock weighing nearly 20,000 pounds, has hull bow sections over an inch thick; neglected examples sell for $15,000–$20,000, but owner-finished deck-to-hull joints from the 1970s frequently hide leaks that rot interior bulkheads.7:17
