For the 28 at least: '76 and earlier plastic ports Port side pilot berth Hanging locker opposite head Pullout sink over toilet Galley sink on starboard "pedestal" cabin table Companion way down to cockpit sole (almost), no bridge deck '76-'78 changes Bronze ports replaced plastic Port side...

I made one out of mahogany and bronze head, it floats handle up.

I haven't had trouble with mast cleats, but have caught the foredeck cleats with jib sheets. I've made wooden cleat covers to go over each horn (bungeed together). Learned this from a racing boat, also helps in reducing "toe stubbing" when going forward.

Congratulations Neil,

The best to you, your son, daughter in law and new granddaughter

Happy sails, our Kate was 13 months when she started sailing, the CD28 v-berth is a great spot for infants.

I'd have to dig around for photo's but I've followed the directions shown by Tom Young (a former Cape Dory 28 owner I believe) in Good Old Boat Nov/Dec 2004. It's all 1x3 furring strips. The ridge being double thickness. The key is the ridge supports are 1/2 the beam +20%, spaced approx. every 8 ft....

It was a while ago but I used Paul Case at R T Associates Marine Surveyors Atlantic Highlands NJ (732) 291-7400. He is pretty familiar with Cape Dory's Can't help on haulout except perhaps Liberty Landing Marine in Jersey City (close to Weehauken). Doug Stoudt is a local mechanic, but I can't find a...

This is happening while under load (motoring), it seems fine while in neutral (idle to full speed). I will check linkage as that would be the easy fix. The prop & bottom were fair...

sorry for the double post,

engine water pump?
flex shaft coupling?
starter/solenoid?

Do you have the Primary winches & pedestals?

A couple CD28 (ignore the stains) and a Mason 43 enroute Bermuda Daughter Liz checking trim & watching traffic <a href="http://i703.photobucket.com/albums/ww36/ddek125/Summer%202009/Liz_Ldybg_RG09.jpg" target="_blank"><img width="600" src="http://i703.photobuck...

Depending on the group size, we could meet at Raritan YC also.

We now tie straps of all boats for and aft when we haul or launch at RYC. Good reference points for the CD28 are the aft cockpit/cabin bulkhead and the bulkhead between the v-berth port and the head port. Although if the straps are the same length and cannot be adjusted, she will lift nose down. You...
