The Cape Dory Board

Roberto - Glad to see that your internet connection is completely functional :-) after Irma ( though before Maria :-( . Ironically I was talking to friends last winter about moving to FL but they were worried about H 's . I thought no problem - just stay closer to ( or on ) the west side - translati...

Robert

Hope all goes well for you and yours - esp in spite of Irma .

Bill ( we met ME Aug 2007 I believe )

Hey Robert Near as I can remember there's no ethanol in diesel ( which is fuel oil #2 ) which is now ULSD . Home heating oil ( also fuel oil #2 may only be required to be LSD - not sure about that one as one would think alot of people use heating oil in the winter so it to should also be ULSD ). The...

Here we go again

thought we decided that the only time the prop should be spinning is when the motor is smoking

or

iffen you have a hybrid and are recharging the batteries

Good to hear that you made it OK . A few years back ( maybe a decade ? ) I needed to tow a cd22 and triad trailer ( I got it slightly oversized - two axles and all with brakes so it would be more than enough for trailer sailing if need be ) from nearby NE to eastern PA. Turned out one of the local F...

Hey Stan If you'd like another reference for Nonsly's great performance please add my name to the list - should I mention the trophies - though I'm sure they don't go with the boat I'd be glad to relate that Nonsly with you at the helm won your share ( and more ? ) of trophies - very impressive for ...

Hey Robert Mostly I move between Chesapeake Bay to Dela Rr to NJ and dabble off LI, NY - tho - this year I'm sad to say I'm still on the hard - very frequent rain / T-storms and " chores " being the prominent culprits . Our current forecast is for 10 - ten - straight days of T-storms and h...

Hey Robert I agree - I think you could say all cd25d 's had bronze portlights. However I've seen a fair number of early cd25 's with plastic and aluminum portlights. I think the changeover was about 1979 give or take - tho I don't recall where I saw that written down. I 'm occasionally on a 1980 cd2...

Hey John Congrats on your upgrade and another testimonial as to the fine condition of Tantalus I. For those interested here's a link to a couple ( more ) fotos from Stan's CD28 at the BHIR in Sept '07: http://www.hwejr.com/Boats/Massachusetts-Sept-2007/15452412_dVP9Hr#!i=2358823299&k=XwQ3W6v htt...

On the subject of Grace's mast - my thinking is that she's special partly because she's been a great companion but partly because of who she is - I'd keep her mast as is ( built ) . fwiw - I don't want my spars " shortened " unless its life threatening ! If you'd like to trailer Grace I th...

Hey OJ I can appreciate the getting older thing - seems to take longer to recover ( or get things done ) than I recall . Enough of that - If I owned a " few " Ty's I would be thinking of keeping the ones that mean something to me - especially if they are of some " historical " ( ...

There's been some info posted on this site for making a cradle for the cd25 . My thought would be that you can glean alot of useful data ( measurements ) from those plans . I don't have the url ( off the top of my head ) but easy enough to use cdsoa's search function to find them and alot more info ...

No whitecaps - clear water - nice Sunday ride

Great pic . . . ( translation - wish we were there )

Hey OJ News from Glen Cove ( there w/family over Christmas ) is that its warm . That said - you ( and the rest of us ) are due for single digits mid next week - but to recover to above freezing yet again . No ice boating for you this winter I suspect . . . Come to think of it no snow either - I boug...

plus one

( I gotta catch up with the times - all my cards still need stamps

all the best
