For Sale: SPRITE 1975 Cape Dory 25 #252, Boston North Shore, with trailer $8,400

Overview

SPRITE is a Cape Dory 25, an eye-catching desing known for high standards in construction. This model sleeps 4 in a v-berth and two settes in the main salon. She has an enclosed head, stowable galley table, a sink, interior lighting, and good storage.

The CD25 is a reliable, full-keel design, making her a comfortable sailer in all weather. Her bright, inviting salon features varnished teak and Herreshoff-style white panels. She has newer blue interior cushions.

Befitting her good looks, SPRITE has been well-maintained by her current and prior owners (she was formerly CONCORD COACH). All her exterior teak is varnished and has been maintained annually. Her bottom is painted annually. The boot stripe was raised 1.5in and flared fore and aft to reduce staining on her topsides.

I have purchesed a larger Cape Dory to do more extensive cruising. I have sailed SPRITE for three great seasons, over 120 sailing days.

Photos

Some of these are older photos, but she has only been improved since. SPRITE is presently under her winter cover -- I will provide more photos when that comes off.
