The Cape Dory Board

Thanks to all who replied to my post this am. We are in Camden today and aren't sure where we will go tomorrow. Short trip. Pulpit Harbor, longer trip Northeast Harbor. Melissa, we plan to start making our way back down toward Boston in about a week or so.......keep in touch if you are coming this w...

We arrived in Maine officially on Tuesday. Our approach to Boothbay Harbor was accompanied by several squalls, thunder, lightning, heavy cold rain and hail. Two days in the harbor to dry out and rest up. We will be heading over to Penobscott Bay for a week or so. Anyone up here in the area let us kn...

Not too many CDs turned out for the fourth in Oyster Bay. In fact, just two......Loonsong & Mad Hatter. Warren Kaplan came by to say his wife was feeling ill so he could not stay. There were so few boats in the harbor as compared to last year we thought we had our days mixed up and were late. Ho...

Charlie & Jan, I replaced my hot water heater two winters ago with a square stainless steel model with the same capacity....it saved some valuable space on the batt shelf....I can get the model name and number if you want.....or look for a link on the board. I think Jerry Axler did the same thin...

I was cleaning the boat yesterday getting ready for our trip to Maine and I noticed the bilge pump cycled a couple of times.....found out that the exhaust line to the transom had been leaking while motoring over the weekend and a significant amount of water had accumulated in the rear lazarette and ...

If we transit New York Harbor might just do that....it would be nice to see all the folks again.

Brett,
I was wondering what happened to you......looked over at the marina and didn't see your 36 anwhere.....we sail to Pirates Cove a lot early and late in the season.....maybe we'll see you there sometime.

The Mad Hatter and crew will be making another trip to New England this summer. Last year we made if as far as Cuttyhunk. This year with a whole month off (July) we hope to make it to Maine. Along the way we plan to stop at Block Island (if we sail offshore from Cape May) or a few places along the L...

Have any of you CDrs out there tried the flexible solar panels? If so, what were the results, good or bad?

David

Talked to them today and they were most helpfull.....ordered the little part that I needed to get my lights working again and I went with the night vision saving green color now available......They say the CG is leading the way in changing to green Thanks again Bill.

David

Thanks Bill.....I'll let you know how it turns out...

I do have the Ritchie Globemaster......and I'll call them tomorrow. You say you spiced the wires together? Both the pos and neg. There are two little bulbs on mine....each facing a different direction with the little wires soldered together at the base....I am confused on how the two wires from belo...

Has anyone ever had any reason to replace the little lights that illuminate the compass when the nav ligthts are turned on? If so, where did you get the replacements and how in the world do they actually work.....two real small guage wires, probably 22 ga or smaller, and both seem to go the the same...

I guess that answers that....we don't have a roller system on our staysail......we have rigged a quick detachable innerstay for when we fly our 135% which is often here on the Chesapeake in the summer....we are planning to sail up to Maine this summer during the month of July and maybe a couple of w...

What line goes to the winch located on the coach roof under the dodger and on the starboard side.....I have a 36 and we don't have any equipment located there at all.
