The Cape Dory 33 is a masthead sloop with powerful lines and is easily driven, responsive and stable.

Below deck inspection will reveal a boat that stands apart from most production sailboats. Cape Dory's craftsmen, in their New England tradition, have used select hardwoods with careful joiner work to produce a warm and inviting interior. Accommodations are comfortable and functional, from the forward stateroom to the navigator's area. Most importantly, you are assured that during every stage of her construction, skilled and concerned craftsmen were responsible for your Cape Dory.

Whether offshore or in the bay, cruising in a Cape Dory 33 means cruising comfortably in a boat that offers pride of ownership as well as lasting value.

Note: The CD33 was also available with a Cutter rig.
