Walt Whitman? Never heard of him. My poetry knowledge is limited to - roses are red, violets are blue, captain q is the best and Ran Day too.
My first boat was a 25 ft cape dory. Loved that boat. Sailed her all over Florida, Bahamas, and Cuba.
a classic poem!! :) lucky you!! Sounds like some fun adventures!!
Best sailing channel on UA-cam. Cheers Capt Q & Ran-Day. Love from the Isle of Skye, Scotland.
Jealous! Cheers from Detroit.
that's very kind of you, Skye, thank you very much!
Love when he talks history of the builders and how companies got started and who the designers are and how they got their start. Be nice if you cav get an interview with an old time boat builder, if they still alive. But the biggest thing I am waiting to see, is when the captain DOESNT like a boat. To date he has loved every boat he has reviewed. Lol.
Me too!
I imagine he just wouldn't review a boat he doesn't like.
Wonderful vessel gentlemen. Have been with all of the CD’s I have been around. There is a young Turk on UA-cam that has sailed hid CD 28 across the Atlantic and is now in the North Sea. Impressive boats. And of course so are you fellas. The coin slot on the keel is a beer bottle opener for when your working on the hull. Pure Alberg.
My complements for the last owner! Very Well kept !
Although my sailing days are over, they come back to life, thanks to you guys.
Thanks very much!!
Walt Whitman, When lilacs last in the dooryard bloom’d.
it's powerful poem.
More than a coastal cruiser, I know of one that sailed around the world and another that has crossed the Atlantic several times. Well built comfortable cruiser.
Fair point!! She’s a well-built ocean going vessel for sure
I came here to say she looks a very capable ocean cruiser
I'm giving my like just for Captain Q's limbo.
It’s a thing of beauty…
Nice history on the boat! 👍🏼
I worked for the Spartan Marine division of Cape Dory for awhile (@82-84) and got to experience the build and how much was involved in the manufacturing
(Bronze castings, spars, etc)
Appreciate all your fine work gentlemen!
Cape Dory was my dream boat when I was in my mid to late 20's. Seeing this gem brings back those dreams over 40 years later. Thank you Cpt. Q and Ran Day for this tour. By the way you forgot a point for the nav desk and one for the pillow in the forward berth, so a good solid 32. Take care and have a great weekend.
Been waiting for a review of a Cape Dory boat. There is a large and enthusiastic community of Cape Dory owners out there, myself included.
Sam Holmes just solo sailed his Dory across the Atlantic- looks like she can hold plenty of Dinty and FreiXenet.
Always look forward to Thurs for another great episode....tnx again gents!
100K people might turn up to meet the Good Captain and wolf down some dinty moore. You Two guys have a huge worldwide following.
I am the happy owner of a CD22 that is a baby version of this 33 footer. What's so nice is that the forward Vee berth on my boat is smaller, but finished almost identically to this 33 footer. I replaced the opaque lexan on the hatch and now I can lie in the berth, see the stars and moon through the top hatch, with the ports letting the breeze cool me down. A great cruising boat from the smallest to the largest.
You two are the best! And that boat is pretty darn nice too. Thank you for another fine edition and making me smile as always!
That is an Ultra Anchor and the best anchor Insureance a person can buy for their boat! It definitely shows that the owner has spared no expense on this fine sailboat! Should have added five more points for the anchor and stainless steel chain.
I have owned a 1981 Cape Dory 33 since 2011 and sold it just two months ago. It was blown off its stands in high winds. A bit of damage occurred and 6000 dollars was the selling price. The one thing that I will add to the conversation is to check to be sure that the stuffing box is accessible. Not only physically accessible, but that it can be maintained. I had such limited space between the stuffing box and transmission coupling that threads on the backing nut were still engaged when the nut was unthreaded against the coupling. Therefore no maintenance possibilities without detaching the shaft/transmission coupling and actually lifting the engine off its mounts. A dripless shaft seal wasn't an option because of these same space constraints. Maybe this was specific to my newer engine installation, but it was disconcerting. Also changing oil filter/checking oil was a workout. It was a great little boat though and quite sturdy. I ran her aground hard more than once 😉.
Great advice about the stuffing box… that seems like an afterthought to make it so difficult to maintain… good to know
"if you notice the mast is not up"
".....I did notice"
Never underestimate Randay's observational skills!
You guys always make me smile 😊
You are on a gold mine of beautiful classic boats ! This one looks like I love, long keel, attached rudder, wonderful lines.
Perferct ! Thank you !!
You literally just made me laugh out loud. I was wondering where the Dinty Moore and champagne were. But I see you found them!
Thank you both for sharing another great boat. She looks like a beautiful boat and she is certainly priced right. ⛵️⛵️⛵️💕💕
You guys so much fun to follow. I love this episode- this is almost my PB which is pretty much a Cape Dory 330. Has a separate stall shower too! I hope you run across one. Dean
Great review Cat. Q. & Ran Day!! I look forward to Thursday because of you. . ✌️
😊🙏 always love Thursdays!
This boat is surprisingly impressive for such a modest size. It reminds me of Kevin Boothby's (How To Sail Oceans) Southern Cross 31. Thanks for the tour and even more knowledge to cram inside my fat noggin.
As the proud owner of a 1974 Cape Dory 25 called Life’s Dory (I’ll see myself out ..), I particularly enjoyed this episode. Cape Dory made lovely boats and made them well. Fun fact - the CD 25 is just small enough to go in a shipping container which is handy if you buy from far away as I did.
Wow great tip… especially for those that are overseas
Beautifully done Sir, it’s nice to see a man of class for a change, and esp when presenting such a beautifully classic boat. I’d buy it in a flash if my timing was different, just a bit too early for me right now. Cheers! 👍🏻💥👏🏻
What I most enjoy about this video clips apart from the learning is the CQ's nap time and the champagne and the canned food. Lol.
Coincidentally, these are CQ favorites as well! 😂
Your best find yet. 👍
love you guys 😍 Wow what a deal this is. Lately youve shown such great boats!!! ⛵️
Do love the Captains willingness to put his finger in the head outlets of all these old boats
Thursday is my favorite day of the week ! Just cause of Captain Q & Ran-day! 🥰
Thanks Melanie!!
For me one of the most helpful things are with your clips is I get to see what works and what doesn't. Why I say this is because I'm doing a total refit and I get the best of both works, classic and up to date functionality.
See you next week .

Walt Whitman of "Oh Captain, my Captain" fame!
Randay, there needs an additional like button, when we double like, and sometimes triple like
agreed!!! this one is so pretty.... and maintained so well
As always another great sailboat and a wealth of information from Capt Q and RanDay.
Fair winds ⛵️
Thanks, Tom!
Sweet boat....I will start panhandling today to raise funds to buy this fine vessel. If you see me at the intersection with a tin cup then...Let me hold a dollar!
gorgeous boat
The boat should have gotten another point for the tidy chart table!
Keep up the great videos and above all STAY SAFE! ⛵❤️😁
Beautiful!
Better late than never. Got carried away gardening and almost missed Captain Q and Randay. What a boat!! I'm sure this will get scooped up in a day or two after this airs. Cape Dory just lovely shape and the name says it all. Still not my Hans Christian 33 but a great choice at an insane price. It never ceases to amaze how you two find these jewels of the sea. "Of all sad words on tongue and pen, the saddest are these, it might have been". Bet you don't recognize that one without Google. Fair well gentlemen.
Great post my friends. 🌞🌴⛵
Great show, nice Alberg
BTW, Sam Holmes' boat is Cape Dory 28 which he has crossed the Atlantic in, so a Cape Dory 33 should be able to cope too. I would love to attempt a long sail too.
Sam went to Hawaii in an even smaller vessel. I love his videos, too.
John Neal has "ALL MODELS" of Cape Dory on his list of offshore boats. I do wonder whether that includes the 19' Typhoon - it's conceivable that he does mean to include it.
The anchor is an Ultra , all stainless, great anchor ! I have one on my boat and he has the Ultra swivel as well they work great together. Not inexpensive .
ahhhh yes... thanks for the tip... much appreciated. very pretty to have on the bow too ;)
@@YachtHunters Yes and the Cape dory is such a pretty boat. Great tour and review Captain !
Another excellent video, I have to thank you Capt'n, last year I visited Robinhood marine after watching one of your videos, i found and a purchased a CD 33. It is a well built and solid boat, just finished the repower will be launching soon. Thank you for videos, I wish you fair winds and following seas.
Thank YOU GREGG. BON VOYAGE
Beautiful boat, love the access to the engine.
Us too!
Love his voice and enthusiasm. He can sell me anything
This boat won't be for sale for very long Captain!!! What a beauty. A credit to its owner. Loved it. Looking forward to seeing your next vlog also Ran-day
We agree... thanks , Andrew!
Nice little boat!!!
Fair winds captain, miss ya
No extra points for the chart table? Very clean and organized. A true delight to sail! Thank you for the memories.
Beautiful boat. Very stable. Sailed a cape dory Typhoon on Lake Geneva. For a small boat you could step on the gunnel and she’d hardly move.
No race boat, but great in all wind and water conditions.
Beautiful boat.
Another jewel!
Please add the draft when talking about the hull. I look forward to every week!
They do add a link in the information part of the video for those inclined to do some research on their own. I'll include it here, so you don't have to do all the legwork, yourself.
www.lawsonyachts.com/boats-for-sale/1980-cape-dory-33-cohasset-massachusetts-8229943/
And if pushing a link is too much involvement for you, the stated max draft is 4'10". Hope that makes it easy enough for you.
Well found Bristol Cape Dory.
I’m going to look at a cape dory in two weeks. And I was also told that it had some deck crazing. It would be nice if you could show what a serious crack versus minor crazing is so we would know what we’re looking at.I’m glad you showed the chain plates perhaps on your next review you could show the flange seals on a boat I’d be interested in what looks good or what doesn’t look good.
My favorite boats Cape Dory built a few towns over from me.Thank you guys😁👍stay safe and healthy guys💯🙏that drawer for the teeth has to be at least 1pt🤣😂
Great boat. Too bad I am not ready to stroke a check this season! I think you meant Robinhood Marine (for newer version of 36/40 Cape Dory designs; any others?). Intrepid was the "fin keel" division of Cape Dory, and had some outstanding boats (29, 35 40) by different designers. The McCurdy & Rhodes Intrepid 35 (formerly Canadian Heritage 35) is my favorite - sort of a baby Hinckley 42.
Another nice boat Captain. Wish I could talk my wife into one. Keep the good stuff coming buddy.
Question: I know Kraken Yachts is questioning the integrity of earlier so called “Blue Water” boats but I thought the Cape Dory boats were more blue water than coastal cruiser. Sam Holmes just sailed an old Cape Dory 28 across the Atlantic last year.
Wish I lived closer so I could come sail with you!
Sweet boat
I would just LOVE to join you all aboard Heritage and Gansett but I'm socially awkward as hell. (See Paul Rudd in "I Love You, Man") Enjoy and thanks for the wonderful content. I love every episode. Cheers and safe sailing!
Sailors are all one of a kind. Come on aboard
Wow . . . I'm currently looking at one of these babies to purchase as an eventual liveaboard . . . thanks for your videos - informative and entertaining.
Best of luck! Thanks
Oh No !!!
You forgot the bonus point for the nav station being so tidy...LOL
Another awesome tour under your belts gents. For 42 years old she presents beautifully and will make someone a fine cruiser that has the pedigree to take on some longer voyages should her new owner decide to. You'd want a few upgrades before doing so, such as a water maker, to make her a bit more suited those longer sails. A great little/mid sized vessel in very, very good condition.
Thanks for giving us the tour of this affordable and capable yacht gents...
+1 for the Walt Whitman reference !
I had my doubts about this boats Captain as he didn’t have Dintymore stew.
One thing I look for is when the mast goes all the way down to the keel. I feel that is more blue water material in my mind, I have heard horror stories though I'm sure rare of a mast being easier to break off when that is not the case.
pros and sons as we have discussed broken thru deck mast willl alllow a big hole for water to enter the cabin
deck stepped mast goes over much cleaner than the stub of the other which may be beating the hull
Nice Cape Dory. Please give the Ultra some respect. Pricey ground tackle.
Amazing boat. "be respectful and take your shoes off" Captain Q--to hell with that noise.
😬
Those marine diesels are the old school ones that have mechanical pump... if you know what you're doing you can turn a few screws and it will run like the wind
Wow.
Think I will buy some tickets for me Curly and Larry !! Oh and I will bring some pies !!
you're all invited!! Zoink!!
Access to the engine on my Cape Dory 28 was horrible and the reason I sold it. If you were not 5' 2" tall, weighed 115 pounds or know someone who was, you could not access the back of it or the rudder shaft area and transmission.
Sam Holmes has sailed his 28 across the Atlantic. And it seems to cope well everywhere he's taken it.. This one looks like a better start than his boat. If h3 can trust his 28 this 33 should do well..
Well said… and his channel is just wonderful… we are big fans!
one more for the Nav Station so 31
watching your channel I decided I live on the wrong coast. lol! forgot 1 point for chart table
So, would you prefer a Cape Dory 33 or Sea Sprite 34, from a design and build quality perspective? I like them both.
Im Wondering how Lucky your pink pants that never changed since 2 yrs ago when i keep on watching your show
👍
Capt. you are hell bent to drag me out of mothballs.
I own a Hans Christian 33……..wow am I lucky to own it!! There’s not a better designed 33’ out there, trust me, my wife and I looked for it. Hell we had a hard time finding a 40’ boat that could match our 33’ layout and storage capability……
Lovely boat… we adore the HCs 😍
@@YachtHunters well that is great to hear, specially coming from you guys! 🙌🏻😇
What's up with the sweater Capt.?
It's 100 degrees in Myrtle Beach.
I'm coming up there!
Apt Q forgot the point for the Nav Table. 😜 beautiful boat.
Indeed!! Seems to happen more often than not! 😆
You call this a coastal cruiser, but IMO, this is a legitimate blue water world cruiser.
For sure… you could sail this around the world..
.. Cheers ..
Cheers, Laurie!
Have the chain plates been replaced?
Would love to know yours thoughts or if you have a video on the Watkins 36 aft cabin!
Interesting question: I have never heard of Watkins before to any real extent but when I looked her up and looked at the line drawings I was immediately reminded of the Columbia 34/35 Center Cockpit the bill Tripp Design for the Columbia line. When I read further I discovered that Watkins bought the moles for the Coronado 35 which was the same basic hull mold for the Columbia 34 believe. The interior layout is identical to the Columbia. I was a dealer back in the 70s for Columbia briefly and I thought they did a wonderful job of packing a lot of cruising room into about that length. Though she was high top cited trip manage to bury the cockpit a little bit and kept the deck very flush. I think this Watkins would make a nice family cruiser for coastal work. I have a hard time finding all Columbia‘s to review because I think they have been very popular boats for their owners. Likewise I might surmise your Watkins would provide many hours in days of fun sailing. She is not over canvas but give her 10 kn of wind I think there will be smiles all around. Price is always a driver but that’s a very good layout for a 36 foot boat
Correction. I meant to refer to the Coronado 35 not the Columbia 34 re the layout. But it was the same hull for both snd for the Watkins
I know the are supposed to be rare but what about a Mason sailboat. They were made by Pacific Asian Enterprises the company that makes the Nordhavn brand - you had one of on your channel.
Hello you are too comical, playing pin pong table tennis, you are the best, saludos
Missing an extra point for the chart table?
31 for the clean Nav Station ;)
I would totally love it if you could do a thing on Victura if the library would allow.
"I really don't know why it is that all of us are so committed to the sea, except I think it is because in addition to the fact that the sea changes and the light changes, and ships change, it is because we all came from the sea. And it is an interesting biological fact that all of us have, in our veins the exact same percentage of salt in our blood that exists in the ocean, and, therefore, we have salt in our blood, in our sweat, in our tears. We are tied to the ocean. And when we go back to the sea, whether it is to sail or to watch it we are going back from whence we came." John F. Kennedy
Great idea, Spencer !! 👍👍
Not to throw a wet blanket on the party, but, it does have some wet deck issues. I inquired about this boat about six weeks ago and the broker was very honest (a good thing, it would had been discovered anyway). From what I understand, the whole cockpit decking and pats of the top of the cabin are effected. Plus the crazing is is something past a little bit. But that’s always been a Cape Dory thing. I personally think it’s a well taking care of boat, but the wet deck will need to be addressed if your going to do any serious sailing. Wouldn’t be good to have the helm in your lap while out to sea IMHO. If your a DIY’er no big deal, if not, get your checkbook out. There are plenty of UA-cams on how to fix it (and drilling hundreds of little holes and forcing epoxy in them is not one of them).
Love the channel and look forward to Thursday”s like the rest of you, just being a brother sailer and pointing out the bad. I would have probably been more serious about buying it if it was on the west coast where I’m at. Good luck to all……
Thanks mm. We will only hope the survey
Will properly assess the degree of any issue and
Take care for a buyers /sellers benefit
For only 500 hours, the engine appears to have a lot of wear & tear
