The Intrepid 40 represents a fascinating pivot point in the history of Cape Dory Yachts, marking the builder's brief but significant departure from the traditional, fullkeel designs of Carl Alberg. Introduced in the mid1980s, the Intrepid series was born from Cape Dory’s acquisition of the Intrepid line, designed by the legendary Charles Morgan. While the Cape Dory brand was synonymous with heavydisplacement, seakindly cruisers, the Intrepid 40 was engineered to compete in the burgeoning performancecruising market, offering a faster hull form and a more modern underbody without sacrificing the rigorous construction standards for which the East Taunton yard was famous.
