The Cape Dory Board

John and Nancy, Don't play with your life, discard the reservoir. Do you value your life to 50$? When i bought my boat i found an old lamp that the owner repaired, i used it and the lamp exploded, spilling the alcohool in flame every where in my house, i had my lesson. The problem was the reservoir,...

Hi John, I don't talk much but i'm looking at the Cape Dory Board every day, it's a kind of joy therapy opposite the work. If i think about the summer? You bet! This is what i already did: I have reserve a motel in Plymouth MA, i sail there every spring for the Melonseed Solstice Regatta, a Melonsee...

Yes a CD31 will be fine on the Lake. My father sailed a lot with a range of CD28,CD30, CD33 and a Typhoon. Bruce Hill Yacht Sales, Inc (VT) was an active dealer of CD and he still operative. Keeping a boat on the Vermont side was more costly then the NY side at that time. I'm not sure if it still tr...

I had the same idea for my project boat, i bought from them a roll of mat and at the end i didn't use it, mostly because i was advice against it for a big project.

Hi OJ, I live near the river Richelieu, it's the access from the Lake Champlain, due to major flooding, the canal is close. In fact Parc Canada work to save the canal, they hope that the canal will not collapse. For saving the gates they put tons and tons of rocks at the entrance of the canal. The f...

If you don't re-use the unit. The easiest way is to use a grinder and grind the device by the outside of the hull. Work slowly with a grind disk, touch only the unit until most of the material is gone and for remove it you just punch the unit in the boat. Protect yours eyes with google. Anyway if yo...

Jeff,

What was your way for the painting of the non-skid with the gelcoat.

Did you spray or roll the gelcoat
And did you used the gelcoat alone or did you add some "patch aid" or something similar.

I'm doing my deck with gelcoat too.

Thank's

Marc

Cathy,

I took the easy way, i put your name and date on my "Jobs to pay" at work. It's a kind of calendar for planning my expenses.

Now you know BUT don't ask for money

Shipscarver,

Marc

Sea Hunt,


Yes you can but Cetol is not varnish and in this case more coats is not better.Why? Because Cetol is micro-porous, the more coats you add the less pores still effective.


Marc

Neil,

The big news for us in Canada about the G-20 is...Our Prime Minister was not on the official picture because i was too busy in the "can".

You know when you have to go, you have to go...

Greg, The ratio of MEKP is around 4% of the volume, this is the theory. The Gelcoat is a forgiving material, it's better to use less of MEKP than too much. Too much and the gelcoat will react too fast. If too less you could activate the cure with "construction lamp(2 x750W)" or a heat gun ...
