The Cape Dory Board

We bought a 1977 28 CD last August and have spent the winter and spring bringing her back to life after she spent 10 years on the hard. She was owned by an elderly gentleman whose health was failing . He didn't want to sell her but wasn't able to sail. Over the last months I replaced just about ever...

Folks,
If the cabin light wiring in my 1978 CD 28 fails, I would be tempted to mount battery powered LED lights. The batteries last a long time with these lights.

Thanks very much Mathias. In fact, I don't disagree with you. This spring we're repowering and with the two businesses I run, I really don't have the time to it that way. However when (and if) I am able to retire I'll do the varnishing.

My thanks to all who replied. I just ordered a can of Cetol Natural Teak.

Folks,
My CD was stored on the hard for 6 years. It needs bright work badly. The teak needs attention. Do you prefer teak oil, varnish or something else?

Thanks
Charlie
