Cape Cod 767 Buyer's Guide
The Cape Cod 767 is a French-designed 25-foot daysailer from the Rosewest yard, built around an integral hydraulic centerboard that makes her as happy on a slip ramp as on a trailer behind the car. For a buyer scanning the used market, the appeal is a boat that rigs and launches without a crane, sleeps two for a weekend, and folds nearly flat for the beach — but the details of each example vary with owner-added gear and the mast revision between the first hull and later standard boats.
Layouts on the Used Market
Every 767 shares the same core arrangement: an immense self-draining cockpit with bench seating and folding backrests, a forepeak cabin under the forward sunpad with two lengthwise berths and a chemical heads, and a table that recesses into the sole on X-legs. The cabin is enclosed with no windows or ventilation, so it reads as a minimal weekender rather than a cruiser. Cockpit and forepeak lockers are generous, and the wide aft hull with flat sections gives real room for up to six in the cockpit. Because the keel and rudder retract fully, you will find examples offered as beachable trailerboats rather than fixed-keel mooring boats.
Equipment and Common Upgrades
The consequential upgrades to look for cluster around power, sail handling, and shelter. On the power side, the retractable outboard may be a Torqeedo electric or a 5hp petrol on a hingeing bracket that stows in a sealed transom locker; a single Torqeedo battery both motors and lifts the keel, and can be carried home to charge. For sail handling, later or sportier boats may carry a carbon mast, Harken Performa winches, and a furling gennaker on a carbon bowsprit; the standard aluminium rig from AG+ was revised after the rigid first-boat mast. Comfort and shelter additions include a general cover usable with the mast up, a road trailer, and antifouling. Telescopic swim steps and Seasmart recessed deck fittings are typical neat touches rather than rare options.
What to Inspect
The most important used-boat check is the mast. The first test hull carried a comparatively thick, completely untapered aluminium spar that was almost untrimmable, and YACHT reported the builder moved to a thinner, more flexible AG+ profile on subsequent boats. Confirm which mast an example carries. Also exercise the hydraulic swing keel: it should rise from 1.8m to 22cm in about 20 seconds and auto-raise on impact via its inbuilt fuse. Finally, note the tiller — period testers found it unnecessarily short, so check whether a previous owner fitted a longer one.
Availability and Buyer's Takeaway
Regional availability is not separately documented for this model. For the walk-around, verify the keel fuse and lift speed, confirm the mast profile matches later standard or carbon option, and test the outboard hinge and transom seal. Check the enclosed forepeak for ventilation work and confirm the retractable cleats and furling gear operate smoothly. A 767 in original spec with the revised mast and working hydraulics is the one to target.
