2009 Custom Deschamp & Jackson Cape Island 32

A 32-foot Cape Island trawler built by Deschamp & Jackson in Shelburne, Nova Scotia, this boat embodies the design heritage of Atlantic commercial fishing craft. The solid fiberglass hull carries the stability and load capacity the type is known for, making it equally suited to recreational cruising or fishing work.

In 2009, the boat underwent a complete rebuild to bare hull. New framing, flooring, decks, cabin structure, running gear, and electrical systems were installed. All exterior surfaces were sheathed in fiberglass for durability and watertight integrity.

Power comes from a single MDL 6414 diesel engine rated at 130 horsepower. The boat is set up for day sailing and coastal cruising, with a 12-foot beam that provides the stability characteristic of the Cape Island design.
