The Cape Dory Board

That was a fantastic albeit brief evening. We have all decided to meet again on the water during the season. Mariners beware!

Congrats on that CD25! She may require a goodly amount of work to get her up to snuff, but at that sale price nobody should ever complain! I noticed that the motor is on a mount hanging from the transom (instead of in the well). I can only guess that this is because that Evinrude 8 might be too big ...

If that baby is still in the water. . you are ON!

We can chat over e-mail.

Wouldn't it be simpler and cheaper to just get a cd25 and put it on a mooring? Maybe you should give me your 30 mkII

I'll take that trouble off your hands.

Michael,

To be fair. . . you have a MUCH bigger boat. You probably require shore power, fresh water on a regular basis, pumpout etc. .

If I had a 30mkII I would probably also put it on a dock.

Where are you headed (with boat ownership?)

I had my CD25 on a mooring at City Island the entire time that I owned it. I agree with the early posters. A mooring is the way to go! Provided that the mooring is in good shape, your boat will actually be happier on a mooring than at a slip. I was always told that you want US made chain. there are ...

with the 36, you get higher yard bills, higher slip cost and more bottom paint to buy!

If only I had the means to purchase such a boat!

The timing isn't right (right now).

I was out in lake Montauk yesterday riding my little rocket http://www.flickr.com/photos/heyness/1261490949/ and I saw this beautiful looking boat come in and drop anchor. I made several quick circles around it before I finally decided to inquire with the owner. I yelled over. . "Cape Dory 30 M...

Actually the Rhodes of which I speak has nothing to do with O'day (Rhodes 19, Rhodes Mariner etc). I had a 1967 mariner 19. It was a great little centerboard boat. http://www.usmariner.org/ Now Stuart marine bought the molds for that O'day boat and are making their own Rhodes 19. http://www.stuartma...

I have a friend who owns one. They certainly seem to be full-featured boats. I have yet to take a spin with him. Perhaps I will bother him for a ride. One thing I did notice, however, is that the boat lists pretty substantially at the mooring with the prescribed outboard attached. I would believe th...

I am guessing that this is the boat.

Hey Folks, I just got back from an amazing week in the Pacific Northwest. We chartered a 43' xxx out of Bellingham. That is an amazing cruising ground, and a beautiful respite (mid 70s in the daytime) from the oppressive NY area weather (mid 90s and humid!). I saw a very nice CD27 - Arabesque - as w...

I think that mid teens is more appropriate for an inboard boat (like your 26D) whereas this is an outboard engine boat.
