Cape Cruisers were built during 2006, designed to address shortcomings of the C-Dory 22. Improvements include deeper-V hull forward, reverse chines, and improved deadrise to give a smoother ride while still quick to plane. The Cape Cruiser added greater headroom, a larger V-berth, more hull insulation, and finer interior finish than the C-Dory 22. C-Dory purchased the Cape Cruiser moulds and design to become part of their upgraded Venture Series.
