Thanks for the responses.

I am wondering if anyone knows where the teak used in building the Cape Dory boats came from. If it was imported or US and farmed or old growth.

I have rebuilt the raw water pump numerous times using the rebuild kit. The only part that I have found that wears out most frequently is the shaft seal. Mostly due to corrosion on the shaft from salt water. The important thing to do when rebuilding is to make sure the shaft has as good a finish as ...

When I am by myself I often will heave to. It takes pressure off the mains'l and stabilizes the boat.

Hello Cape Dory Enthusiasts,

Although I would wear it, I hope I never have to need the jack line tether.

Try Moger marine trucking. They deliveerd my CD36, Indigo, from Newport Beach to San Francisco Bay for a very reasonable price about 10 years ago. they are still in teh business.
