1986 Cape Dory 300 Motorsailer

WHY FOR WAIT FOR SPRING…..IT’S ALREADY HERE IN THE FULLY ENCLOSED PILOTHOUSE OF THIS CD 300MS1

The Cape Dory 300MS is one of the most versatile sailboat designs ever conceived. People who own or haved owned them shower them with superlatives. With a shallow long’ish keel, she won’t point with the race boats, but sitting in the pilothouse sipping hot cocoa with full sail flying and the diesel ticking over to counter leeway, you simply won’t care. Watching them sail in their foulies and mittens while saluting their victory with your hot cocoa is the real trophy. On a beam or broad reach she becomes a pure sailboat and makes excellent way through chop while her hull design keeps things on the level. If this boat were being built today it would have a non-stop waiting list for purchase. You want to sail; great. You want to fish; that’s great too. All lines lead into the pilothouse and the entire rig is furling. So what’s holding you up?

SPECIFICATIONS

The Cape Dory 300MS is a very unique boat. This boat offers the sailing qualities one expects from any Cape Dory and provides some very useful additional benefits. First, consider the fully enclosed pilothouse from which the boat can be sailed, including all sail handling. Second, expect the ride of a medium displacement boat coupled with a flatter sailing angle due to the amount of beam carried aft. This attribute contributes to her sailing like a longer boat than she is while providing signifcant form stability to compliment the full keel. Draft of less than 4’ allows a skipper to sneak into anchorages that are denied a vast number of other boats. The large aft cockpit has plenty of scuppers to ship any water that occasionally might get aboard and becomes the nicest back porch in the Bahamas. The layout is perfect for a cruising couple with a forward v-berth, roomy head and lockers aft, and just the right amount of salon with U-shaped dinette to port and galley to starboard. Solar, reefer/freezer, large propane tanks and plenty of storage mean more time on the hook. This is probably the best thought out cruising boat of 30’ ever designed (my opinion).
