The information in this table was provided by Wendy Reed and Dave Perry of Robinhood Yachts in 1997. It was gathered from records available at the surviving businesses in Robinhood, Maine, and we think it's pretty close, but probably not bang on.  For example, we know of a hull #17 of the 30 powerboat, both built in 1990, but it may have been completed by Robinhood Yachts explaining why it had not been included in the Cape Dory records.

In 2006 the table was modified by Catherine Monaghan based on information which was part of a presentation regarding the "history of Cape Dory" which was presented by Dave Perry at the CDSOA Annual Meeting in Annapolis, MD on November 4, 2006.
