Cricket is a Cape Dory 25D (Hull #92) built by Cape Dory of Taunton, MA in 1983
We’ve had her for 9 years, and have sailed her as far south as Scituate, Massachusetts and as far north as Mount Desert Island, Maine. She’s a sturdy boat that has kept us safe and has taught us a lot about sailing and the sea. We have spent hundreds of hours and thousands of dollars upgrading the boat to Bristol condition (details in link below). We are sad that it is time to sell her, but with a growing family we’ve decided to move on to a bigger boat.
