The Cape Dory 28 features a full length keel and molded in skeg for exceptional directional stability and added protection for the rudder and prop. The hull is comfortable and stable at rest as well as steaming through a steep chop. When the weather threatens she has the speed to head for shore and the seaworthiness to ride it out. The cockpit is large enough for lounging, fishing, swimming, or an evening cocktail party. A built in swim platform makes it easy to get in and out of the water.
