28' Cape Dory Sloop

The Cape Dory 28 offers more practical cruising features combined in one design than other yachts of her size. The Alberg full keel design with the moderate, well distributed sail plan, result in a cruiser that is easily handled.

Solstice features a self-tending club footed jib with Harken roller furling, a fully battened main sail with a Doyle Sail Pack and new Andersen 12ST self-tailing winch. Mainsail halyard, reefing line and roller furling adjusted at cockpit.
