Description:
1981 Cape Dory 22, Real Quiet Echo

This Cape Dory 22 has been continuously maintained and has had many significant upgrades. Weve loved sailing her between Frenchman Bay and Penobscot Bay for the past 10 years, and now its time for us to move up to a larger boat. 

She can be seen and test-sailed in the water for another week or two in Bar Harbor. Includes a galvanized trailer and can be hauled and launched with any truck or SUV, making ownership very economical. Very well-equipped with GPS plotter, Depth, VHF, Autopilot, new main sail, and all new standing rigging.
Great for evening sails and weekends spent exploring the coast. Comfortable cockpit easily accommodates 4 adults. Below is a head, Vee-berth, nav table, cabinets, manual fresh water sink, and two single quarter berths/settees. Four bronze opening ports with screens, and two overhead hatches make for great light and ventilation.
