2020 CDSOA Member Directory Proofs were put in the mail today, 16 Nov. If you do not receive yours within the week it is probably because (A) you did not notify us of an address change, or (B) you did not pay your 2019 dues, or (C) we messed up something somewhere. If A or B is the case you know wha...

The last 4 characters in a HIN indicate the manufacture date. Two different systems were used. Most often the 9th character is an M (for manufactured?) followed by two numerals indicating the model year, with the last character as a letter coded to indicate month of manufacture (only Cape Dory knows...

Dean, The "Registry" is not a product of the CDSOA, we only provide a link to their site at the top of our home page. I do not know what the procedure is to become listed or to change your information on their site. Your information will be listed in the next CDSOA Membership Directory whi...

2019 CDSOA membership cards, along with a special gift are being mailed in batches of 60 starting today. As usual the packages are being mailed from the Pace village post office annex, that is run by two "little old ladies" out of a back room in their antique store. This may take a few day...

No coat or tie required. Everything is casual, but not too casual, cutoffs or blue jeans would be inappropriate for the evening meal at most yacht clubs. A double breasted blue blazer, white trousers, ascot and yachting cap would also be inappropriate, but it would give our hosts something to talk a...

The Fairhope Yacht club will provide free docking for CDSOA members during the weekend of the annual meeting in November. Several members have indicated that they are planning to trailer, or are planning long distance cruises to coincide with the meeting. If you are sailing in please let us know whe...
