The Cape Dory Board

Hi, I have been digging into my winter yard work and one of the items on my list is bottom paint. I would love to know if anyone is aware of a bottom paint that is environmentally friendly (or at least more friendly) and still effective. Please let me know your thoughts. You can see some of my progr...

I hope everyone is getting that nice sore feeling in their muscles as they sand their teak and bump around in the cabin with winter maintenance and upgrade -- that way I won't feel like I'm the only one who had pain getting out of bed this morning after a weekend of it. They are dropping my mast tod...

Steve's dock is just as rough as ever in that photo.

Interesting that you would say this Gary because I have decided to do the same. I have many costs this season as it is my first winter (the winter of big refits) with this boat and even without the furler the costs are going to be in the thousands. I have to pick my battles. The other influence on m...

Congratulations on your CD25. I'm sure you will love it as much as the rest of us.

I too would very much like a copy of that CD that was floating around. Tell me where to send my stuff.

Thanks!

Hi everyone.

I'm doing my winter refit on my CD25 and am going to purchase new cushions. Does anybody have a template and dimension for the pre-D CD25 cushions? Mine is a 1979.

Thanks!!

I placed a posting a couple days ago about my new flickr group for Cape Dory. I've seen very little movement there. I figured with the sailing season pretty much over, folks might have some photos that they want to share. I know that aside from sanding my teak and winterizing my motor, I'm not doing...

Hi, I started a flickr group for Cape Dory. Please come by and join up or just take a look. For those of you unfamiliar with flickr, it is a free photo posting/sharing site. There is quite a bit of beautiful photography there, so why not add to it with our beautiful boats. Joining flickr is free, an...

Red White and blue! Nice. . . the austin powers dory.

Does anyone know of a specific company in NYC for any of this? I can certainly (and will) do my own searching. This is not a plea out of laziness. . just looking for the unbiased recommendation.

Thanks again for all of your help.

Hi, I have a CD25 that needs some new cushions and covers. I suppose I could use the original cushions, but I would bet that newer materials will be better than my poor tired (and moist) cushions. I am wondering if anyone has had an overwhelmingly positive experience with a particular company. I thi...

Yeah, I will certainly share all info. I plan to look into this from many angles in the next 3 weeks. I will probably haul out around the beginning of November -- take down my rig and start post-season work (including the furler) so I want to make a decision by sometime in November. By the way. . wh...

I am going to convert my hank-on headsail system to a roller furling. I am choosing between the Harken 00A or the unit 0 (MKIII), but i think that I am much more interested in a Schaefer furler -- either the snapfurl cd-700 or the considerably pricier 750. The reason I am drawn to the Schaefer over ...
