22' Cape Dory 22

1981 Cape Dory 22 Collector Quality Original Lake Boat Triad Trailer & 2024 Tohatsu Basalt/Colorado

Description:
For the discerning sailor or Cape Dory enthusiast: This is an incredibly rare, highly original, and uniquely well-kept Cape Dory 22 pocket cruiser. Designed by Carl Alberg, this vessel has spent its entire life strictly as a fresh-water lake boat (first on Lake Winnipesaukee, then on Lake Champlain, then on Ruedi Reservoir for one season). Its remarkable condition is the direct result of being INDOOR STORED every single winter since it was built in 1981, except for the last two year where it was meticulously covered and cared for.

The fiberglass gelcoat, teak trim, and hardware are totally original, smooth, and completely free of rot, soft spots, or pitting. Below decks, the cabin is impeccably clean, dry. I purchased this exceptional vessel two years ago from its meticulous long-term owner. This boat does not work well on my mountain lake with quick changing winds and small turning zones and I need to let it go to someone who lives in a different location. It is ready for its next dedicated caretaker.

Equipment & Features:
Sails & Rigging: Sails are "crispy" and in excellent condition, including the main, 125% genoa, and a storm jib. Standing rigging, running rigging, cushions, and lifelines are all top-tier.
Engine: Premium Tohatsu Sailpro long shaft 6HP outboard motor. Installed brand new in July 2024, it has exceptionally low hours, runs flawlessly, and was designed specifically for sailboats.
Trailer: Custom Triad Trailer in excellent condition with fresh bearings and tires. Features a tongue extension specifically for stress-free launching at shallow ramps.
Upgrades: Marinco solar fan providing continuous 24/7 cabin air circulation to eliminate mildew and moisture.

This is a turn-key, premium package that requires zero baseline restoration. Clean titles in hand for both boat and trailer.
