The Cape Dory Board

I am having trouble finding the "official" P and E measurements for a Cape Dory Typhoon Weekender mainsail. Do any of you have them?

I measured the main I have--likely an original sail, and so fairly stretched out, and got 20' 6" and 8' 1"

thanks for help--

Hey, mounting the wenches is a hell of a lot more interesting than mounting anything on the winches! But the latter is a possibility-- not a bad notion. You could generate a fair amount of power with two big scoops, rowing standing. I'll look into it--

Thanks, all-- this is helpful! Particularly the photo of Baldwin's setup, though I can't tell how it's mounted--don't see tholepins or anything. Yeah, the sampan is the boat, which is propelled either by sail or by a _really large_ sweep in the stern. People row with their whole bodies, and a cloth ...

I read somewhere about someone coming up to his mooring in a Ty using a stern sweep oar--I guess something like a sampan? Has anyone rigged something like this on a Ty? if so, how? I've been trying to rid myself of motor dependence, as firing up my balky ancient Merc at day's end to thread my way in...
