The Cape Dory Board

Thanks for the suggestions. I used to have a catboat so I know what you mean.
One consideration is that I singlehand most of the time. At this point, cleat shoes seem to make the most sense.

Thanks, JBA

Hello all,

My gernoa sheets get caught on my centerline foredeck cleat while tacking. Does anyone else have the same problem? Any solution?

Thanks, JBA

Is the drifter still for sale?

I am putting my Weekender up for sail and was advised on my responses that people have sent me PM's. How do I retrieve PM's?
Thanks

Hello all, I have had this problem since I bought my Typhoon. When my mast is down and on saw horses it is ramrod straight.

Does anyone have a cd25 with internal halyards? Were they produced that way or added later?

Hello all,

Does anyone have a technique for securing reefing line tails while reefed?

Thanks, JBA

Hello all, I had my topsides compounded and waxed this Spring. The result is beautiful and gives me even more pride in having a Cape Dory. Sunday the rubrail of my dinghy bumped the topside and left a very small blue smudge mark. I cannot even feel it if I rub my finger across it, but I know that it...

Thanks Sea Hunt, I appreciate your suggestion JBA

Hello all,

Last fall I removed the two small wood sections around the rudder post that kept the water out of the bilge of my Typhoon. I am ready to re-install but need some guidance. If I coat the bottom of the wood with 4200, will that do the job? Any other suggestions? Thanks, JBA

Hello all:

The spreader bases on my TY are welded at a right angle to the mast. How can I get the bi-section of the shroud without bending something? I checked the archives but could not find this specific issue addressed.

Thanks,
JBA
