Cape George Marine Works

Cape George Marine Works is a renowned American boatyard and manufacturer of high-quality, semi-custom fiberglass sailboats, specializing in heavy-displacement, full-keel cutters inspired by traditional designs from naval architect William Atkin. Located in Port Townsend, Washington—a historic maritime hub—the yard emphasizes seaworthiness, comfort, and timeless aesthetics for blue water cruising, producing models that blend classic lines with modern construction techniques like foam-core laminates. Known for the iconic Cape George Cutter series (31–45 feet) and Bristol Channel Cutters, the company caters to discerning sailors seeking displacement hulls that prioritize stability and long-range capability over speed. In addition to new builds, Cape George offers kit hulls for owner completion, factory refits, and custom projects, including innovative hybrids like electric propulsion. With a focus on craftsmanship, the yard has produced over 200 vessels since its revival, maintaining a cult following among voyagers for boats that "sail like dreams" in heavy weather.
