The Cape Dory Board

Who "coined" the coins? Mounted next to my half hull. Looks great!!!

Was able to weld the broken off mounting "boss" back onto the timing case proper. Installed the alternator mounting bracket modification as outlined in pbase.com's detailed instructional procedure. The noted procedure was extremely helpful. Along with a new alternator and some hose replace...

Fellow Captains, S/V Mystical, CD31 is in dire need of a "Timing Case" for an M25 Universal engine (Kubota block #D-1101, M25, D-850). The part is no longer available through normal suppliers. I'm hoping that maybe a fellow CDer may know of a "bone yard" where I can procure the m...

Having problems with the tach on my CD31. After motoring for an hour or so, the tach begins to fluctuate between engine speed 2400 RPM and zero. May continue in this fashion for several minutes or longer then return to normal operation or remain in the fluctuating mode. Tach is very HOT to the touch...

Captain,
Don't forget to loosen the lock nut, if there is one!

Captains and Mates. The Carolinas Fleet will officially start the 2012 season with it's traditional "Shake-Down" cruise the weekend of April 21-22.
Please click on the News & Events link for all the details. Hope to see y'all on South River.

Ken,
A heat gun and a good scraper/putty knife should do the job. Stop by Peacan Grove, slip 63 and observe the results. Three coats of Cetol Teak and 3 coats of Cetol Gloss are what you'll see. BTW, your knees will take a beating! I too had to replace a section of rub rail; port side midship.

By "casual," do you mean that jeans will be acceptable attire for the Saturday dinner?

S/V Mystical's Capt. Dick and First Mate Carol will be in attendance.
Driving the "Land Yacht"

Enjoyed a hot 4th here in New Bern, NC. All was well until my head hand pump cylinder cracked. Does anyone have info as to where I might find/purchase a new Groco Model HF hand toilet pump assembly? Thanks in advance.

Check out Pecan Grove Marina in Oriental. Best maintained facility on the Neuse River/Pamlico Sound. Excellent hurrican "hole." Eight (8) CDSOA members can't be wrong! 2011 rate is $112/ft. Contact Grosvenor Barber, Dockmaster at 252-670-1883 (C).

Just a reminder. The fleets Winter meeting will held at Capt'n Ratty's in New Bern, NC on March 19th starting at 1100 hrs. Time to think Spring and formalize our 2011 cruise schedule. Hope to see y'all on the 19th.
Capt. Dick

From all the Carolinas Fleet captains and their crews, fair winds and a healthy and prosperous 2011. BTW, we're still sailing in NC!

Sail in and join the fleet at the River Dunes Harbor Club & Marina, for a weekend of relaxation and fun by the pool, fine dining and the ever present telling of "tall tales."

Twister, Try the marinas in Oriental, NC. Pecan Grove and Oriental Harbor Marina. There are other Typhoons in Oriental, with captains who I am sure would be more than helpful regarding getting you up to speed learning to sail. Also, think about joining the Carolina CDSOA Fleet. We are small in numbe...
