Cape Dory Yachts, a Massachusetts-based builder of fiberglass sailboats, powerboats and pleasure trawlers, operated from 1963 - 1992. By the 1980s, Cape Dory had built hundreds of sailboats, many of which were designed by the Swedish maritime architect Carl Alberg who was known for simple lines, a narrow beam and a full keel for seaworthy sailing.
