I think this is in Scituate.

I own a CD22D and last year I bought a 90% headsail on the advice from my sailmaker. What a difference that sail made. Under most conditions I am able to keep the full main up as well as the full headsail. If the wind pipes up I put a reef in the main and the boat maintains control and good sailing ...

Hello, I realize this is a trivial question but I am curious. I'm about to order a new mainsail for my CD22D and when asked by the sailmaker what color I want the sail insignia and hull number to be I told him to keep it to the original black. Has anyone ordered new sails with the insignia as the Ca...

Hello, Thanks everyone for your suggestions and advice. I followed through starting with the simplest fix and going on from there. Unfortunately; the transmission was diagnosed as slipping. It got progressively worse until there was no torque delivered except at the lowest RPMS. The transmission ove...

The previous message should have been 11 x 12 RH two bladed propeller, not 11 x 13.

John, I believe the propeller is the original 11 x 13 RH two bladed propeller. It's operated fine the first two years I've owned the boat. Each Spring I put a coat of anhydrous lanolin on it which eliminates all barnacles and has never compromised the performance of the propeller. Now; I'm reduced t...

Thanks for the feedback and advice given. I've followed through with it, but unfortunately; the problem persists. A diver checked out the prop and found nothing fouled, the key in place and the prop nut tight. The propeller will not turn when the shaft is held tight. The propeller shaft turns when t...

Hello, The last several times I've been out, I' ve had problems with no thrust being delivered by the propeller on a regular basis. When leaving the mooring, the engine/transmission seem to operate fine. I only run the engine about ten minutes. However; when returning to the mooring [ usually three ...

Rob,

I just measured the tiller bolt on my CD22 and am fairly certain it's a 3/8-16 by 2.5 inch stainless steel hex bolt.

Hello,

Would you please post pictures and sail inventory.

Thanks,
Brian

Hello, I'm about to order a new headsail and am still somewhat undecided. I currently have a 150 genoa which is way too big and a 100 jib which is fine, except for it being old and tired. With the 100 jib, I'm able to keep the full main up with little or no weather helm in 15 knots. Do any of you 22...

I second Peter Hunt. He spent six hours on my CD22D and had complete knowledge of the boat. The seller adhered to his recommendations which more than paid for the survey.

Hello,

Does anyone know what Sunbrella color is closest to Cape Dory brown [ sail cover ] ?

Thanks,
Brian

Hello, The local boatyard hauled my boat [ CD22D] and has it on stands for winter storage, but I noticed that it's not positioned level on the stands and is "heeling" about 3 to 5 degrees [ I'm guessing] to port. Will this cause the motor mounts to settle or engine parts to become misalign...

I cannot help with the bimini, but here's a photo of an awning I just had made up for my CD22D by a local marine canvas company. It's the typical over the boom design with telescopic poles fore and aft, a zipper to go around the topping lift, and several loops on top as well as a large adjustable lo...
