1981 Cape George 36' Cutter — Bay Girl

The Cape George 36 was designed primarily for offshore passagemaking and heavy-weather cruising. Its long Full keel provides excellent tracking, directional stability, and a comfortable motion at sea. It is known for being exceptionally seaworthy, forgiving, and capable of carrying heavy cruising loads. It is widely considered one of the classic Pacific Northwest-built cruising sailboats and remains sought after by sailors looking for a serious offshore cutter.
