For Sale

Sandra Lee was the last Cape Dory 30 built, hull #363.  She is a USCG documented vessel and has been cruised from the Hudson to New Brunswick. She is capable of crossing oceans if her new owners have that in mind, but also makes a comfortable, safe coastal cruiser. She is currently being readied for the season in Portland, Maine.  She is for sale as we would like to downsize to a smaller boat-- however, if not sold before June we plan to launch and sail her this summer.   Please scroll down for photos and detailed information.

Offered by owner at $35,000. Email dfilene@gmail.com
