Cape Henry 21
Description
The Cape Henry 21 is a plywood lapstrake trailer-sailor designed by Dudley Dix, evolving from the successful Cape Cutter 19. Named after the southern promontory of Chesapeake Bay, it embodies traditional English workboat aesthetics with a modern twist, featuring a gaff or marconi rig, wide lapstrake planking, and a strong sheer. It’s roughly one-third larger than the Cape Cutter 19, offering enhanced space, stability, and performance.

Disclaimer. Boats are not all the same -- even when produced in the same factory of the same model. Sailrite does its best to publish accurate dimensions, but we often find it worthwhile to have our customers measure their boats carefully before we produce kits for them. You should take the same precautions, especially when the data is not from Sailrite.
