OWNERS - Sharon Del Vecchio
AREA OF SAILING - Pultneyville Yacht Club, NY
E-Mail Sharon  The boat has been in my family since 1970. She had one other owner who only sailed her for a year. My former husband and I traveled Lake Ontario and the St. Lawrence River. We made several trips to Canada and she always handled well. This year I have done little sailing due to a knee injury and may decide to sell her. She has the original spars. The cabin has been redone with new electrical system, holding tank, stove, GPS, etc. The decks need care, but I was unable to do them this year. Varnish is in good shape on cabin and spars. The boat has never had a mishap or insurance claim. I would be interested in hearing from other cadet owners
Boat-  "Whitney B" - 19 69 Offshore 27  
Newell Cadet Hull #2263
Purchased 1996 in Berkeley.
OWNERS - Paul Phillips
AREA OF SAILING - Georgia Strait
E-Mail Paul  
"I installed a Betamarine diesel (3-cyl. 18 hp) two years ago.  Due to lack of space on the O-27, this was the only engine of that size that would fit.  Very difficult job requiring many hours of unnatural postures.  I had to build a steel bed for it to adapt it to the wood stringers.  The end result is very nice, but if anyone should attempt to take this on, he should contact me about this project first.  Otherwise, the boat is nearly completely restored and in the best shape yet.  Unfortunately, I am now working on another boat, so this one will have to go, probably next year."

Boat-  "Arkaba" -  1969 Offshore 27  Newell Cadet
OWNERS -Dave Matthews
AREA OF SAILINGSidney, BC
E-Mail Dave   Just purchased this boat in Seattle and brought her back to Canada for some restoration work.  Impressed with the design and sailing ability of the Cadet it has exceeded every expectation and may end up being a keeper once the work is all done.  Teak decks may have to come off to investigate some softness in the foredeck, but other than that most of the work will be cosmetic in nature.  Maybe other owners of this model (the Mark II) have some comments about the soft foredeck.  I thought this model had a solid fiberglass deck but perhaps it is in fact cored.

I love it!! I just bought this boat with the naive intention of cruising, and I'm still buried under piles of rotted teak, old defunct engine parts and improvisations that were installed over the years but didnt work. It's a glorious little craft, I sail it alone and will be heading out towards Central America pretty soon. I'm not your typical cruiser (very low on cash) and its not your typical boat  12/05
