The Cape Dory Board

Russel...Nice Job!! The stripes look great. I loved cruising with a sewing machine, although I'm in envy of your LZ1 - that's my dream machine for the next trip. In the meantime, I have an antique hand crank that worked wonders on sails, canvas, courtesy flags, and even bikinis! Mine was strapped do...

I'd be thrilled if the CDSOA would like the domain. I've sent a note to the webmaster to see if they are interested.

Thanks.

Hi, I no longer have a use for this domain name: capedory36.com. However my registration for this domain expires at the end of this month. I'd much rather transfer the ownership to a cape dory fan, instead of having it go to a company that will use it for unrelated purposes! Let me know if you are i...

Renova was sold this spring to a fabulous new owner with plans to take her to Thailand! Hurray!

Well, it seems I've dawdled long enough. Renova is back in the water, and enjoying being a day sailor once again. But, the time has come and she is now for sale! The first $55k takes her! Let us know if you have any questions. More information and pictures: http://www.capedory36.com Questions? naomi...

Renova is on the hard for the winter, and we'll be undertaking an aggressive sales campaign in the spring. But, since we'd love her to find new owners who are Cape Dory fans, we're letting you know in advance that she is available. We couldn't have asked for a better boat for our travels. Informati...

Not yet, internet has been pretty sporadic up here. But soon...hope to have this ready in the next couple of weeks.

Yes, we're back in BC! We expect to be back to our home port in Campbell River (on Vancouver Island) by early September. If she doesn't sell right away, we'll haul her out and wrap her up for the winter, so we can keep her warm and dry while we pretty her up. We'd consider delivering the boat on the...

We are in the final stages of our South Pacific Adventure. We are currently bringing our CD36 home to North America, and Renova will be for sale upon our return. She is #41, built in 1980, and in excellent condition, all set up for offshore cruising! Some details of the boat are listed here: http://...

We're looking for a staysail for a Cape Dory 36. Must be in good condition with hanks. Our current sail is wearing thin. Please send a note with sail measurements (if you have them), year, condition, location, etc. Photos would be marvelous!! We're returning to the boat in early March, so would appr...

Tree...unfortunately, I can't measure up our CD36 at the moment...we've left her in French Polynesia for the season. But I can tell you that one of the criteria for purchasing her was head room. I'm 5'10" and John is 6'2", and neither of us wanted to spend time stooped over. After all, I m...

Chase - great pics - thanks for posting. Troy - our engine suddenly showed high oil pressure last spring. We discovered we had high crank case pressure, and started our investigations. The three 'rebuilds' were not all rebuilds, but rather three times the engine came out of the boat, and made it's w...

Chase, We bought our 36 two summers ago, and have loved every minute of it. Of course, we had a full survey completed upon purchase, and if it would be helpful, I'd be happy to share it with you. Ours is hull 41, 1980. Biggest issues that I can think of off the top of my head are: - replaced all sta...

Our CD36 came with a beautiful cockpit grate. It is in two pieces. One piece is forward of the helm and is almost flat against the sole. (The paint on our cockpit sole is worn in a striped pattern in this area). The piece that is aft of the helm is raised up 3-4 inches, providing a nice boost for th...

Our five week trip up the pacific northwest coast in August led to some interesting discoveries... SUCCESSES VHF: This new gadget was our favorite. Our old VHF didn't have some of the popular channels, nor DSC functionality, so we were pleased with our new VHF. The best part was the cockpit mic. We ...
