The Cape Dory Board

See attached link to pics of a staysail pedestal I believe goes to a CD36. It is approximately 7'5" high overall this base is about 4" x 4". If it doesn't go with a CD36 perhaps someone knows what I does belong to.... I'd like to give it to someone who can/will use it so it's free to ...

Using straight design specs - they look pretty comparable. I'm surprised the SA/Disp is so low on the Rustler (perhaps the staysail isn't included)

Well done! Happy New Year

John I've used this DIY yard in the past. The last time 5 years ago (they've changed owners since). In looking at the website it now looks like they charge a "non-storage work fee". Can't tell if that is in addition to the storage rates. http://safecoveinc.com/ Fortunately, there's a DIY y...

John - I have bronze Lewmar 43ST and somedays I wish they were larger.

John - I'm using a similar process and it seems to work. 2008: Soda Blasted bottom to gelcoat, Interlux Barrier Coat applied followed by Trinidad SR applied (this is a Hard Modified Epoxy). 2012: Lightly Sanded bottom and applied 3 coats BlueWater Copper Shield (this was an ablative that at the time...

Nice! Must be a tide free area?

SAIL ON!

Looking good. Hopefully the dolphin piling stern line isn't too tight.

wow - would you share the process you used to bring the teak back?

I find it helpful to delay/backwind the staysail which then encourages the yankee to slide thru the slot.

I solved this problem with a small 'sweeper' pump (with the integrated switch) and an inline backflow preventing valve. Then mounted about 3 inches above the small pump is a rule 3700 (hooked to an alarm). The backflow valve will create friction and so is only used for the small boat leaks we all ha...

Bob, Very nice. I notice the Florida registration. Where do you sail? I've been wanting to find a resonable priced Typhoon here on the SW side of FL with trailer. Tough to come by down here. Keep us posted on your project.

Suggest Nigel Calder's maintenance book for by-the-numbers calculation of demand and very belt and suspenders recommendations. Agreed, would highly recommend anyone with a somewhat complicated boat to get and read Calder's "Boatowner's Mechanical and Electrical Manual". I had to read sect...

A simplistic approach is to determine how many amps are needed between charges and then size the battery bank for about 4X the calculated amps. In my situation I use about 100 amps a day, so have 400 amp house bank (4 6V Trojans). Using 150 watt solar panel and a 125 amp alternator with a smart char...
