The Cape Dory Board

The Carolina Fleet had two presentations by riggers today. On stainless, I got the impression than anything less than 316 wasn't going to hack it in a salt water environment.

That will do it fine. Thanks for a quick and simple answer.

I sure miss it. Is there a way to get the most recent postings and not all the other stuff in the the threads? I have figured out how to limit the length of the list to a day, etc., but maybe my profile needs updating to ??? Did I miss your clear explanation somewhere? If so, tell me, give me a URL,...

I have a complete CD/14 from which we can take measurements if they aren't already available under http://www.capedory.org/cdinfo.html or

I don't think we have seen anything on the board regarding a 16.

I think the rationale may be that the engine sump ought to be separate from the bilge so that drips from the engine don't get pumped overboard. One of the advantages of the Robinhood bed is that the oil drips are further separated and don't even mix with the drips from the stuffing box. Keeping a ma...

It wouldn't surprise me if the aluminum tank cover and the fuel fill cap are electrically bonded to the plate so there is no possiblity of a static discharge. Of course with diesel fuel there is much less volatility than with gasoline and, therefore, much less chance of an explosion. If lightning st...

Parfait is hull #84, built in 1983. The plate and wiring certainly appear to be in the original location.

Parfait's grounding plate is on the starboard side of the keel and the bolts penetrate the hull into the bilge just forward of the fuel tank where they are easily reached. If your plate is on the bottom of the keel, it might not be a factory installation and you may just have to dig a bit to find th...

Parfait has three batteries in the port locker. The starting battery is on a relatively high shelf outboard against the hull and the two house batteries sit on another shelf directly below the hatch. The 375 AH Rolls CH-375 6 volt house batteries are easy to service, but the starting battery require...

We pulled the AC and DC panels from Parfait and replaced them with a Blue Sea Systems panel with many more circuits, meters, and new breaker/switches. If you are interested in those panels email me at parfaitNOSPAM@nc.rr.com (remove NOSPAM) and we can discuss condition, price, etc. They look OK to g...

Walt,

Actually, this time I do agree. I failed to look at the list and see the recent addition to the thread. Is there an option to list postings in reverse chronological order?

Thanks,

Hi,

Perhaps you have some information that needs to be incorporated into the web site. We have almost nothing, so anything you can share will be most welcome.

Cathy will undoubtedly contact you about this. Right, Cathy?

Thanks,

I was a bit surprised to see the thread http://www.capedory.org/board/viewtopic.php?t=11311
from 2003 in the list of current threads.

Not really an issue for me, but it is curious and, perhaps, indicative of something that needs to be addressed.

Thanks,
