WARRANTY NOTIFICATION PROCEDURES
Cape Dory Yachts is very proud of its “track record” of minimum warranty
problems. After commissioning, you as an owner should not expect
problems to develop. However, should you need assistance, there is only
one very important thing to do...CONTACT YOUR CAPE DORY DEALER.
Your Cape Dory dealer is a knowledgeable professional who is familiar
with your boat and capable of answering most of the questions which you
may have. He will communicate any problems or inquiries which you may
have directly to Cape Dory so that we can both work together toward an
expeditious and satisfactory solution.
YOUR DEALER IS NOT, HOWEVER, AUTHORIZED BY CAPE DORY TO CONSENT TO
REPAIRS OR THE REPLACEMENT OF PARTS WITHOUT THE EXPRESS WRITTEN APPROVAL
OF CAPE DORY.
Cape Dory Yachts, like most other sailboat manufacturers, offers a
written limited warranty.
To you as an owner, we at Cape Dory Yachts pledge to provide you with a
product that is as defect-free as possible. Our goal will continue to
be one of standing behind our products and one of continual improvement.
IV. CAPE DORY 270 DESIGN
The Cape Dory 270 represents a departure from a line of boats which up
to present has been exclusively deep draft with full keel, attached
rudder, moderate beam, and predominately designed by Carl Alberg.
Cape Dory Yachts commissioned Dieter Empacher to design a 27' full keel
centerboard/sloop as a cruiser that would reflect traditional appearance
and offer the performance of a modern hull shape. By keeping the hull
draft down to three feet and designing the displacement into long
waterlines, the wetted surface-to-displacement ratio is such that it
guarantees good light air performance.
As the boat heels and reaches full waterline length, it becomes a good
heavy weather performer. With a four-foot centerboard extension below
the keel, the yacht has excellent upwind ability. The hull entry is
fairly fine to aid in upwind performance with a slight flare added to
the topsides forward to provide a fairly large foredeck working area and
recessed anchor well.
Through careful design and engineering, Cape Dory has produced a
centerboard system that is easy to use and maintain.
The CD-270 represents the combined efforts of Dieter Empacher and Cape
Dory Yachts to produce a yacht that is a pleasure to own. Cape Dory
reserves the right to refine and upgrade the CD-270 in an endeavor to
produce the finest quality centerboard yacht of its size on the market
today.
