The Intrepid 9 (often referred to as the Intrepid 9m) represents a distinct and sophisticated departure from the traditional Alberg-designed lineage that defined much of Cape Dory Yachts' history. While the majority of Cape Dory’s fleet featured the full keels and narrow beams characteristic of Carl Alberg’s philosophy, the Intrepid series was born from a collaboration with the legendary Ted Hood. Launched in the late 1970s, the Intrepid 9m was designed to offer the "Gold Standard" of Cape Dory construction—solid fiberglass hulls and high-grade bronze hardware—paired with a more contemporary, performance-oriented underbody. Measuring approximately 28 feet and 6 inches, the vessel was marketed to sailors who demanded the sea-kindly motion of a heavy cruiser but sought the improved pointing ability and maneuverability of a fin-keel design. Detailed technical specifications and historical context are maintained by the Cape Dory Owners Association.
