I'm assuming this is a typo. But if not...

The price went up from $1 a bit, but at least there's a real price listed.

Kinda funny marketing ploy. If it doesn't sell at a certain price, raise it.
First $1, then $12,500 and now $20,000. Next month, $25,000?

Somehow living aboard an aluminum can in the hot Hawaiian sun doesn't sound appealing to me at all. The thing is ugly but I'd be curious to see how she sails.

Funny lots more raves about the smaller Cape Dory's, are they better for potential offshore?

Anyone know the headroom?

25D's have 5'11"

The 28 is 6'2" ?

All the CDs have good reps for build quality and seaworthiness. I don't know the headroom, but I bet the 28 has 6' like my Columbia 29.

You were probably right about the typo. Listing says US$162,280 now.

Amazing that boat finally made it over there.
If I remember rightly it was built by a guy who wanted to sail/race around the world with it and had big structural failures on the first outing in California.

Might be a different boat though. Not sure.

That middle truss (not sure what you'd call it? Strut?) seems like it was added in as an afterthought.

How about this one?

Just reduced by $22K

[Joe P]

Westsail 32, Hawaii (auction says "40", but that's with the bowsprit, I figure).

Current high bid is $560 (+$300 doc fee, +$100 "escort to mooring"), 6 days to end, but pretty sure it'll go for less than $30K.

Certainly has potential!
