The Cape Dory Board

With time, money and elbow grease she can be made like new again. Repairing the teak rub and toerails may be your biggest expense. If you purchase that boat, the first thing you need to do is tie her up properly in her slip. The bow should never overhang the dock, especially a fixed dock.

I belonged to the Seven Seas Cruising Association (SSCA). Joined after participating in the Caribbean 1500 many years ago. But we really haven’t participated in many events.
