The Cape Dory Board

Thanks, Cliff. That was her - recently christened "Edna". She's on Back Creek in Annapolis for a few months. If your friend with the Typhoon there is Doug, please thank him to helping step the mast. He's a great guy!

I couldn't salvage any of the original teak...the rail was too far gone to refinish. I decided to replace all of it. It was a lot of work but the results are outstanding. I'm waiting for the new sails so she should be launched in the next week or so.

I added a bronze inspection port to easier access to the backstay and outboard bracket mount. I also fabricated a mast crutch for it. The mast sits level over the boat with a winter cover on top.

Thank you there's a coat of interlux dealer followed by eight coats of Epifanes. She'll get one or two coats every year.

I need to replace the main on my 1974 Typhoon. After 45 years the original is done. Any recommendations for a new or good used main? Bacons in Annapolis does not have one.

Thank you

Here is a quote from the Robinhood 33 specs "Clive Dent, noted Naval Architect of many Cape Dory models, designed the Robinhood 33 to perform in a variety of conditions. Her modified deep-V, hard chine hull gets up on a plane easily with minimal power. " The 28 is a soft chin true semi-dis...

I've put holes both below and above the waterline in the hull of my '91 CD28 powerboat. The hull is solid all the way to the rubrail. The decks are balsa cored except solid at the bow forward of the anchor locker and around the cockpit. The 28 is a full-keel semi-displacement hull while the larger p...
