My Cape Dory 31 Surprise will soon be listed for sale after 23 years of great sailing and loving care. I will discuss asking price via private message for now, before multi, brokerage listing. Below please find an upgrades and maintenance list. Equipment inventory will be included in listing. The Cape Dory 10 dinghy in the photo does not convey.
This Cape Dory is a two owner boat kept in freshwater of the Northern Chesapeake since new. When manufactured, she was the best equipped model of her size in the Cape Dory line-up and was delivered with every available option using high quality components from major manufacturers, most of which still supply parts and service. This boat has served a cruising family since 1997 with light use and constant upgrades.
