Sleipnir is a 1975 Cape Dory 28, Hull # 39, which is just completing an extensive restoration, is now on the market and looking for a new owner. She is a very capable blue-water cruiser, a surprisingly quick sailor, and I get constant compliments on the boat, and comments to the effect that she is a...

sub panel

i recently replaced my stock cd28 panel with a blue sea 13 slot panel. i find i'm already out of slots. what i'd really like to do is relegate all mast/nav light functions, as well as courtesy, cockpit, and instrument lights to a switch panel in the cockpit. to me, it's very annoying to have to lean...

gauges not really necessary - use your eyes

I'll probably get flamed here with diffening opinions, BUT... take your boat out on a nice, strong windy day. with everthing hauled way in, giving you max heel, you wamt the downwind shrouds under minimal tension - not loose, but not at all TIGHT...if they're tight in those conditions, you have them...

davis shroud cleat and a tiny harken block are all you need

keep your main slightly eased

i've noticed in our club races that most folks keep the main too sheeted in - thus the boat isn't balanced, adding weather helm and it's associated drag, slowing you down. I've passed much more modern boats in my 28 by a knot or more in light air by keeping off the sheet. try it for yourself - after...
