The Cape Classic 30 is a solid, dependable vessel, "built like a brick outhouse" our surveyor reported. Hull #7 appears to be up for auction. Like it, we found some moisture below the engine air intakes, but that was a quick fix. There was a very positive magazine article published around 1989 on this model. It does throw a mighty wake in the mid-RPM range. I was told some owners added lead bags in the bilge to improve stability.
We enjoyed owning #4 (named 'Caper' at the time) for 10 years. Best thing we did was change fridge to propane.
Colin: FYI The boat originally was used by the builder's family before being sold, and as third owners we bought it in Freeport NS. You would be fifth (or possibly sixth). The owner prior to us had motored it to Lake Erie via New York and the Erie Canal one year and back down the St Lawrence in the next. The picture you have was taken by me not far from St Peters in the Bras d'or Lakes. I hope you enjoy her fully and as much as we have.
