Built by Cape Dory Yachts during their heyday of producing quality small cruisers, this 22-footer exemplifies the builder's commitment to traditional design and solid construction. Cape Dory earned a sterling reputation among sailors seeking seaworthy boats that punched above their weight class, and the 22 continues that legacy. Like other Cape Dory models, this boat features classic lines reminiscent of traditional working craft, with a full keel design that provides excellent tracking and directional stability. The robust construction typical of Cape Dory builds makes this vessel suitable for coastal cruising and weekend adventures, offering more capability than many boats in its size range. The spacious cockpit accommodates day sailing with family or friends, while the cabin provides basic overnight accommodations for extended cruising. Cape Dory's attention to detail and quality hardware throughout the boat contributes to its reputation for reliability and longevity. This model appeals to sailors who appreciate traditional aesthetics combined with practical cruising ability. While not designed for racing, the Cape Dory 22 offers the kind of honest sailing characteristics and solid feel underfoot that has made the builder's boats sought-after in the used market for decades.
- Prices are based on recent asking prices from public listings — not actual sale prices, which are typically lower.

- Location affects price. Boats in landlocked states or areas with fewer buyers often sell for less than those on the coast.
- Year of manufacture is not filtered. Older examples of this model will generally be priced lower than newer ones.
