The Cape Dory Board

Rick, if I remember right there's a clamp screw but then it just pulls out. I had to saw mine off and hammer and chisel out the corroded-on ring from the mount attached to the sole.
I think I bought a replacement tube at McMaster Carr. I could have just accepted a lower height table.

Thanks for sharing this great story! I'm really enjoying it.

I've been trying to move heavy items low and centered. On my CD30, the salon lockers under the settees are an ideal spot for the toolbox and canned drinks. But the doors open when heeling sometimes. So I made some fiddles to help take the force from those when heeling. Here's some pictures. View whe...

A few years back I found Christine C's certificate in the CDSOA archives. I think this was right after Robinhood shut down and someone had been there and picked up their records. https://photos.smugmug.com/Boats/CD30-Pictures/i-XhkqL3K/0/MdjFq92ztSqJnKzskx2LG9ZgjJQ6V9GXtT6FtbqPP/X4/20250224_135030-X...

I'm thinking of switching out Christine C's Hillerange alcohol stove for propane. The biggest challenge on the CD30 is where to put the tank. I'm thinking of this stern rail mount www.suremarineservice.com/Galley/Propane-Railmount-Bracket-Assembly/001-749A.html Have any of you used something similar...

Skip, thanks for posting this! I just received my shipment of the parts you used from Ronstan. How did you attach the end caps to the T-track? It looks lie they have #4 or #6 threads. I don't see any fasteners in your photos except on the cheek blocks. Did you drill or tap into the T-track and use a...

Looks great! Wishing you a great trip south.
Jeff

It looks really good to me. Great to see this progress!

There's probably not solid glass going across, just hardened resin between plywood panels. At least that's what I found on my CD30. Mine had two different thickness pieces of wood. I wrote a pretty extensive post about what I did in 2016. I cut out the entire top skin, then all the rotted or wet cor...

I used a Wichard part. Not cheap but it works great. I have a loop in the deck fitting and secure it out of use to a shroud base.
