Thanks so much for gathering footage of yourself inside the cabin. For some reason this is something that most people neglect to do. But it's extremely important because potential buyers like myself absolutely need a sense of scale when considering the purchase of a particular sailboat because they want to know how much available space is down below. That being said, your boat is quite lovely. And thanks for sharing. Cheers!

"Go buy a house with a checklist of items and that makes your decision" .. ha ha, maybe 40 years ago. Now your decision is made for you by price low enough and not being out-bid by 10 other buyers. Awesome boat! Extremely impressive. Probably only a few people in the world can build their own sea-worthy boat, just as a weekend project. Outstanding!

Love it...grew up on the water in New England- commercial fishing boats in the family- but for the past few years been getting a hankering to get back into boating. Never did anything like this before- Intriguing. I will start on dinghy sail boating, and if this takes 3+ years. I can plan on 5, since I take longer than the average to build anything. My Ducati Super Sport 900 took me 2.5 years to build, and that I am very familiar with (motorcycle) so for me, I am figuring, while I learn the dinghy life, I can see what I might want down the road. Thanks for the inspiration.

I'm an amateur boat builder so I can identify with everything you say. At the risk of sounding pretentious, I will even go deeper. Because of mass production and extreme technology, everything is done for us (regular humans). We don't grow are own food, build are own houses, or even make anything at all that we use in life. Instead we do stupid jobs that we hate to get this symbolic item called money to pay for our things. Our off times are spent just distracting ourselves with whatever, drinks, drugs, internet, telivision or whatever. (Famous Quote by T.S. Eliot, distracted by distraction by distraction.) When you build a boat, you reconnect with a primal but forgotten aspect of being human; that is, using your hands,( and your mind) to build things. That is what hands are for! (duh). But not a stupid thing like modern art, but a real thing that actually does something in the real world. If its succesful, then you get that feeling of accomplishment, which can't be faked or bought. And then you get to be put in the water, in Nature, away from the Matrix, and you must navigate by your own wits and skills. I could go on, but you get the picture.

@maciejkornatowski30264 жыл бұрын
Issue with those is there's huge difference between waves and wind. Most C category boats can handle much stronger winds, its the waves that's the issue, and that will depend on exact place you're using it at.

Interesting family of boats. There is a 19 ft version called the Cape Cutter 19 made in GRP. Dudley Dix can sell you plans for a plywood Cape Cutter 19 and has just required the right to supply plywood Cape Cutter 19 kits. The manufacturer of the GRP Cape Cutter 19 has acquired the right to manufacture a GRP Cape Henry 21. The ply CH21 can also be built with bilge keels and Dudley Dix has plans to introduce a bilge keel option for the ply CC19. There are even 25 ft and 30 ft+ versions of this boat.

Beautiful boat. Maybe a dumb question? Could you not just hang an outboard off the transom and then have the entire cockpit as useable space? That outboard through the hull seems to take up a lot of space. Other than that, it’s a beautiful pocket sized cruiser!
@Kameleonline2 жыл бұрын
Totally agree. There is now also the opportunity to put an electric sail-drive on, and that has the same effect - removes the engine from the cockpit, and allows you to put a seat at the back of the cockpit - more space to sleep out there too. The factory will fit the electric saildrive on the (GRP) Cape Cutter 19 - it just requires a small indent in the aft bit of the keel. Simple. And a much more elegant (and eco) solution.

Looks like about the perfect boat. A 21 footer is about as big as a man can sail solo, and yet big enough to handle some really heavy seas. Always wanted to build one but doubt if I have enough years left to pull it off.
