The Cape Dory 30 K represents a classic intersection of Carl Alberg’s traditional naval architecture and the robust build philosophy of Andrew Vavolotis’s Massachusetts yard. As the ketch-rigged variant of the popular Cape Dory 30, the "K" designation identifies a vessel that prioritizes sail-handling flexibility and balance over raw upwind speed. Produced between 1976 and 1986, this model was designed for the coastal cruiser who values the "sea-kindly" motion of a heavy-displacement hull and the aesthetic of a bygone era. With its full keel, encapsulated lead ballast, and graceful overhangs, the 30 K remains a staple of the Cape Dory Sailboat Owners Association, a primary repository for the technical documentation and original brochures that define the model's lineage.
