The Cape Dory Board

I would like to attend as this is my back yard, so I will try to register in time.

My CD24 Trawler is in Bullock Cove. I can almost see it from my house. It's a wonderful area. I also have a deep water mooring south in the Wickford area (where someday my CD sailboat will be). You should be fine with a Ty anywhere in that area in terms of depth for a mooring. The western edge of th...

When I began the project on my boat of replacing the cutlass bearing, I ran into this same problem where the transmission shaft coupling would not release the shaft. I used penetrating oil for a few days and a painter's heat gun and gear puller on the prop, that worked great, but didn't work on the ...

I wish I could be there. If anyone actually sees another CD 24 Trawler owner could you tell them I'm looking to email with them? I've not had any luck so far bumping old posts related to the 24T or emailing the 24T owners in the CDOA registry, and would someday like to share info with another owner....

Thanks John. They quoted $50 per foot, and I'd prefer to do Soy or Aqua strip myself but I'd have to wait quite a while up North here before it'd be warm enough to even start that project. So having it prepped early via Soda or Farrow would let me get back in the water quicker. I'm still searching f...

Has anyone had any direct experience using the new "Farrow" system bottom blasting? I saw plenty of info at the boat show and on stripitclean dot com but wondered if anyone on the board here actually used them and what the unbiased results were. Can't find a comparison by Practical Sailer ...

I've been trying to resurrect some interest in this boat, I purchased hull #10 last year, she's a great boat. I still have not had any responses from people who previously posted things about the boat. Are you still an owner? Would you like to email a bit?

I've got a bronze garboard plug on the outside of my CD 24 Trawler's keel that seems to be original ( I didn't put it in and doubt the previous owner did). I am almost certain it is not brass. It has a 3/4" thread ( I believe NPT ) FLUSH/countersunk plug so that it won't snag anything moving th...

It's confusing, the document that you see is a sales brochure, but I'm looking for the full user's manual that would have come with the boat, like the one for the CD 33 found at http://www.capedory.org/manuals/CD33%20manual.pdf. I'm still searching, none of the other CD24T owners have responded yet,...

Judith,

Thanks for you post, but I've been to that page many times, and cannot find any manual for the CDT 24. If you are seeing something that I missed, send me the full URL.

Thanks!

Did you ever find the manual? I just bought hull #10, would love to get a copy if you did.

I've purchased hull # 10 recently, and was wondering if anyone ever circulated a copy of the owner's manual that I could procure.

I just bought a CD 24 Trawler on the Cape, the owner had a lot of documentation but did not have an owner's manual and I saw on some other posts that one might exist somewhere for these unique boats. If anyone has one or any information about it, I'd be willing to compensate them for their troubles ...

I have just purchased a 1985 24 Cape Dory Trawler, would be interested in trying to make this event, weather permitting, if you don't mind that I don't have a sail.
