Re: Which is the better?

Cabo Rico has a balsa cored hull below the water line and the Cape Dory has been known to have soft decks which are balsa cored. I know because I have a Cape Dory and have seen the Cabo Rico stripped of gelcoat.

Re: Which is the better?

Which is "better", which is the "champion"? Those are very subjective. To what purpose do you intend to put your choice?
I'm a Cape Dory guy so the choice would be easy for me.
