COMMENTS:   IRISH LADY is one of the best-kept Cape Dory 28 Flybridge Cruisers this office has seen. She has benefited from a total refit by a previous owner who purchased her in 2021. He installed the new gas 275 hp engine, the bow thruster, new Garmin electronics, all new upholstery, new composite cockpit sole, rebuilt the transmission, refinished her varnish and her decks. Please come and inspect this very clean Cape Dory 28. You will not be disappointed. Thank you for your interest.
