The Cape Dory Board

Say 10 Hail Marys, and finish your boat and you will be forgiven.

My 440 is mounted on a ram at the binical. I have a Lowrance HD7 in the companionway with a double ram mount. The Lowrance is on a 2in thick block on the lower starboard side. The double ram lets me swing it all kinds of ways. I also had a plexiglass lower hatch board made so that I can see it with ...

Where will they be keeping Como No?

I look forward to making more trips like it. By refereing to my other boat I assume you mean my CD30K that was hit by the barge. Off shore is the way to go.

I kin...

Did you sail the keys? I plan to head that way soon and would like to hear any opinions you might have.

Since you are shortening your sail by cutting it off of the bottom you are not adding sail area higher up. If you were putting a sail on with the original length of foot and reducing the sail area aloft then I would say it would add to tenderness. That being said you may in fact be adding sail area ...
