1985 Cape Dory 270

Charleston, South Carolina

$45,400

The Cape Dory 270 is a Full-Keel/Centerboarder that offers yachtsmen a shoal draft boat without sacrificing the safety, stability, or ease of handling of a "Full-Keel" design. With board up the draft is three feet and with board down, the CD270 draws seven feet, making the boat exceptionally close-winded. The centerboard gives the helmsman new wetted surface and helm balancing options.

With 9'5" beam and standing headroom, the CD270 has one of the largest interiors of any 27-footer afloat. It sleeps four comfortably, has a fixed table with two leafs and a galley. An enclosed head with shower stall and a private vanity area separate the main salon from the V-Berth.

Cape Dory 270 "Freeride" underwent a huge refit, taking almost 3 years. This refit included a new motor, new sails, new running rigging, brightwork, tankless water heater, secondary lithium system and much more. She was re-launched in November 2022.
