The Cape Dory Board

How could I forget the biggie:

- one rebuilt Hurth HBW50 <sigh>

- Brion Toss's "Going Aloft", so that she will have healthy sheaves at the mast head, while avoiding human body-shaped dings on the topsides. - CDSOA cap (ok, that was for me, thanks Judy)! It could be said that a properly dressed helmsman is a happy halsmsman, and isn't that always better...

Oh, and that's just my summer cottage in the background... naahhht!

Thanks for posting these. I'm pullng the transmission in the next few weeks to rebuild it. Now's a good time to relocate the muffler if it makes sense.

Here are a few things we ended up liking, but we didn't know going in: - if you are at all concerned about roof support issues as I have seen posted here, the 270 actually does use a compression post, which I didn't even know at first, since it's hidden in the head. Some hull numbers actually had a ...

The 270's have 'em =8-D

By the way, what is a Pilot Berth?

Can you verify that the glow plugs are coming on? Will it start easier if you hold them on longer? My Westerbeke 13 has 1250 hours and seems to run like new (I just bought the boat 2 months ago). I agree that black smoke would be caused by excessive cranking. With only 750 hours, the compression is ...
