(SOLD) 1984 Cape Dory 31 Cutter

Accommodations

Accommodations

The Cape Dory 31 interior deviates from tradition, which allows for spacious main cabin, galley and stateroom.

Starting aft at the companionway, the "U" shaped galley is to starboard.  Well thought out, double sinks are in the forward facing section, a 2 burner propane stove with an oven is in the middle, and a large ice box is aft.  Storage is abundant with lockers outboard of the stove and under the sink area.  A slide out trash bin is located in the aft bulkhead section.

Opposite the galley, to port, is the enclosed head area.  A vanity with a sink served with pressure hot and cold water is aft, with a mirror over.  A shower faucet connects to the sink faucet, and there is a pump for shower water discharge. The marine toilet is forward, and this is plumbed to a holding tank located in the aft bilge area.  An opening port and an overhead vent provide good ventilation.

The main cabin is next forward, and includes settees port and starboard.  With the backrests hinged up, they easily convert to berths, and the starboard can become a double with a sliding platform moving inboard.  There are shelves and lockers above each berth and book racks between the lockers.  A dining table with two fold down leafs is mounted on the centerline, aft of the keel stepped mast.  Additionally, aft of the port berth, there is a hanging locker and set of drawers adding to the good storage potential.  There are 5 opening ports in the main cabin / galley area, a large Bomar overhead hatch, and two dorade vents, all providing wonderful ventilation throughout.

The stateroom is next forward. First are lockers port and starboard; one being a  hanging locker and the other a bureau of drawers.  V-berths are forward and are wide and comfortable.  A filler cushion creates a double berth.  With the filler in place, there is still plenty of room to change clothes in privacy.  Overhead is another large Bomar hatch, and there are two opening ports for ventilation.  Shelves over the berths and large lockers and drawers under provide excellent storage potential.  A door forward of the berth provides access to the chain locker.

Settee cushions are a blue plaid, and all ports and hatches have screens. The quality and warmth of this boat is amazing!

Sails- New mast!

Happy Days was re-rigged in 2009 for ease of sail handling.  The mast was replaced with a Selden in-mast furling mast, and all standing rigging was replaced at this time.  Winches were upgraded to self-tailing, and all lines were lead back to the cockpit.
