This 1983 Cape Dory 28 is a Carl Alberg-designed sailing yacht built around a full keel and traditional fiberglass hull. The design is known for its classic proportions and seaworthy character, with a masthead sloop rig and 9,000 pounds of displacement. Power comes from a 17-horsepower Volvo diesel engine. The boat features traditional teak joinery throughout and was constructed to the build standards Cape Dory maintained during this period.
The interior prioritizes ventilation with eight opening bronze ports and two opening overhead hatches. The yacht was built with the cruising accommodation layout typical of the 28-foot model, offering manageable space for extended time aboard.
The boat has fresh-water use only. Deck conditions show minimal cracking relative to examples of this age, and the overall structural condition reflects consistent care and maintenance. Owner's manuals are included.
