The Cape Dory 330 is an American sailboat that was designed by Carl Alberg as a cruiser and first built by Cape Dory Yachts in 1985.[1][2][3]
Key Information
The Cape Dory 330 is a development of the Cape Dory 33, with a bowsprit and cutter rig, plus interior changes.[1]
Design
[edit]The Cape Dory 330 is a recreational keelboat, built predominantly of fiberglass, with wood trim. It has a cutter rig, a spooned raked stem, a bowsprit, a raised counter transom, a keel-mounted rudder controlled by a wheel and a fixed long keel. The mainsail is sheeted mid-boom to a mainsheet traveler on the cabin roof. The inner jib is self-tacking and is boom mounted.[1][3] It displaces 13,300 lb (6,033 kg) and carries 5,500 lb (2,495 kg) of ballast.[1][3] Designed hull speed is 6.63 kn (12.28 km/h).[3]
The boat has a draft of 4.83 ft (1.47 m) with a standard keel and is fitted with an auxiliary inboard engine.[1][3]
The galley is located on the port side at the foot of the companionway steps and includes a sink and two-burner stove. The head is forward on the starboard side and has a privacy door. Accommodations include a bow "V"-berth and two main cabin settee berths. There is a folding dinette table and a chart table in the main cabin.[1][3]
Production
[edit]A total of 27 examples of the type were built between 1985 and 1988, but it is now out of production.[1][3][4]
Operational history
[edit]As of 2020 the boat was supported by an active class club that organizes racing events, the Cape Dory Sailboat Owners Association.[5]
