FOREWORD & DISCLAIMER
This is a modified
version of the 1984 Cape Dory Owner’s Manual which was included with the
vintage Cape Dory 270 sailboat built by Cape Dory Yachts, Inc., a company that ceased operations
in 1991.
It is offered here for use by those seeking a replacement for their original owners manual or for any
sailboat owner who might benefit from the useful information it contains on general sailboat
maintenance and repair. It is not suggested that it be relied upon implicitly, but that it act as a
supplement to other sources of information currently available.
References to people, companies and products mentioned within the Manual may now be obsolete;
there is no longer a factory or Cape Dory Service Department to contact for support as the Manual
states, no Dealers, no newsletter, etc.
Also, it should be kept in mind that the information in this Manual may be not only dated, but may
contain inaccuracies or omissions and that neither I nor anyone connected with the original Manual
shall be held liable for any losses, injuries, or damages arising from its use.
It was written and modified as a guide for owners of Cape Dorys specifically and its application
and suitability for use with other types of boats is not expressed or implied. Further, it is meant to
be distributed freely and not to be used for profit. All trademarks, logos, products and businesses
appearing in the Manual are the sole property of their respective owners and they retain all rights. I
have no association with and do not represent any of the products, businesses, or persons named in
the Manual.
