cost to have topside painted

I am looking into having the deck on my 1969 Bristol 32 repainted. Structurally they are in good shape, eustatically they look terrible, a lot of cracking and spiderwebbing, especially on the cabin top. This is a vague question, but can anyone give me an idea of what I could expect to pay to have th...

Kappa Sails

Joe, look into Kappa Sails, located in Westbrook, CT. I have used them in the past and was very happy with thier sails and turn around time.

Getting a second quote is never a bad thing.

CD 25 layout

I have come across a CD 25 for sale that has a dinette on the port side rather than a bunk in the main salon. It is very small and almost can not be used. I have not seen a dinette in a CD 25 before, only the two single bunks. Can anyone tell me if CD made any 25's with a dinette?
