COMMENTS:

The Intrepid 40 Center Cockpit sloop was designed by Chuck Paine and built to very high standards by Cape Dory Yachts. This vessel was designed as a fast-sailing, well-built yacht to provide maximum interior accommodations for her length. She was built as a long distance, liveaboard cruiser. She is equipped with every modern convenience for easy sailing such as Stoway mast, radar, loran c, refrigeration, etc. We recommend the Intrepid 40 highly for the serious liveaboard cruiser who wishes to find an exceptionally high quality yacht for a fair value.
