#boatfoolssailing #sailboatforsale #sailboattour ONLY 8 Ever Built! $75,000 Chuck Paine Intrepid 40 Sailboat | Full Tour This week, Canadian Ken, Captain Kew, and I climb aboard one of the rarest Chuck Paine designs ever launched: the 1986 Cape Dory Intrepid 40 — hull #7 of only 8 ever built. If you love beautifully engineered New England classics, this is a must-see. This Intrepid 40 isn’t just a looker — she’s a proven bluewater beast, having completed the Newport–Bermuda Race twice, showcasing the stability, build quality, and offshore confidence Cape Dory was famous for.
