Her experienced owner aptly described her as: “Vintage has been the stable long-range cruising platform that I sought when I purchased her a decade ago. My daughter and I have explored the Northeast every year, often anchoring at Block Island. The cozy accommodations, generator, AC, and spacious galley make her an ideal setup for enjoyable cruising at a reasonable pace and efficiency. All systems are well-maintained and function flawlessly.” According to the Power Boat Guide, the Cape Dory 36 Flybridge is not only economical to run but also visually appealing, featuring classic lines and spirited planning-speed performance that resonates with boating enthusiasts. She is built on a modified-V hull with a solid fiberglass bottom and a long keel for prop protection. Inside, the handcrafted teak cabinets and trim are signature elements of this builder. The standard two-stateroom layout includes a mid-level galley, while large salon windows create an airy atmosphere. The cockpit is spacious enough for several anglers and their gear, equipped with a transom door and teak covering boards. Notable features include a teak bow pulpit, a teak swim platform, wide side decks, and a compact flybridge with the helm positioned forward. With optional 250hp GM 8.2 diesels, she cruises comfortably at 19–20 knots, reaching a top speed of around 22 knots. This 1988 Cape Dory Flybridge exemplifies classic design for both leisurely cruising and fishing adventures, complete with reverse cycle heat/AC and a generator, making her versatile enough for long journeys or quick trips to the canyons.
