Cape Dorys are wonderful boats

Hi, as you can see from my signature, I am a former Cape Dory owner. I do like my current boat (Pearson 31) but I just love Cape Dorys and will someday own another one. Your last post you posed a few questions: Puffin (Ty Senior) was my previous boat and currently sails out of Lake Pepin (Minnesota)...

Consider an MP3 Receiver

the Ipod setup can be expensive. A more tolerable solution might be to make sure your receiver can play MP3 disks.

On and Off

Cathy is right on. "On and Off" is formulated just for removing the rusty discoloration at the water line. You will be amazed how it (the brown junk) just disappears when you paint it on. Once it's done its stuff, rinse thoroughly.

Sure beats scrubbing.

Building Your Own Boat

I too had the bug to try this. I had found an Alberg 35 that was in a condition where a total strip and refit was the only solution. I started researching other's efforts to do this and found the following: http://www.triton381.com/projects/restoration/restoration.htm This site documents with incred...

Loadmaster Trailers

I had a Ty Senior trailer built for me in 2000 by Loadmaster Trailer Co in Port Clinton, OH. Best experience I've had with a vendor. Polite, informative and best of all, they delivered on time. Prices were comparable with Triad and YES they too required a 50% deposit. You might want to check them ou...
