The Cape Dory Board

Where are you located ?

if your boat is still for sale please text me at (713)398-5691. Thanks, Forrest

I have a 12 page article describing how to make a butterfly hatch. It's a PDF which can't be attached to a CDSOA post. Please send me your email address if you would like a copy.

IMHO - you can clean the teak in about 1-2 hours with bleach. It will look great. While bleach is not the most friendly liquid, with a little care it will work fine. Test it on a small section of teak; rinse often; wear gloves and goggles.

If you're still looking for solutions, here's about a dozen more !

Consider using bleach to clean the teak and then let it be. I was all set to clean the teak on my CD30 with a 2 part solution when a guy came by and said "try bleach full strength; hose the teak down with water, apply full strength bleach, rinse it off." I did a second coat of bleach and w...

Have you considered making a one piece drop board and cutting a hole big enough to install a small window unit - I've seen this work on a CD 36. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B06WRRZLYB?aaxitk=wKq.EGuv-1mNH4sM5qxecw&pd_rd_i=B06WRRZLYB&pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_p=3525547702&pd_rd_wg=8e8...

Has anyone used either their paint or varnish ? It looks pretty good for a DIY application.

Thanks,

Is there an agenda for the meeting? I sent my $ in but haven't heard. Also, has the Pensacola to Havana race been cancelled ?

I started reading it last night - a fun book. The author has a real future as a writer. The book mentions "Cooper's Brew Kit" which apparently is the gold standard of DIY beer. Here are the links: http://www.coopers.com.au/# http://www.amazon.com/Coopers-676-DIY-Beer-6-Gallon/dp/B004QCXWSA...

Anybody have one they aren't using? New ones are $350-450, repair kits are almost as much.

Oops - I forgot that fresh water and raw water are different. Here's what Mr. Google said: "At temperatures above 190 degrees farenheit salt begins to cake onto surrounding water jackets. The decreased cooling efficiency and the corrosion are very detrimental. Fresh water cooling in a salt envi...

The engine is not fresh water cooled - it has a heat exchanger.

Thanks for the tip. The mounts are already on the boat (used calipers to determine height). Engine is ready to go on. Spent a couple of hours cleaning the bilge. A recent post identifying the need for another bilge access is top of mind. It would have turned a 2 hour job into a 30 minute job!
