Summary
Skylark is a 1985 Cape Dory 36. She is a cutter rigged cruiser, designed for comfortable, extended shorthanded or solo cruising. As testament to her quality and seaworthiness, the Cape Dory 36 is one of only 22 production yacht types to earn approval for entry into the Golden Globe Race. Over the past year, Skylark has gone through an extensive, reconditioning and re-fit to bring her to a level well beyond her peers. It would be tough to find a better equipped, or finer example of a Cape Dory 36 on the water today.
