The Cape Dory Board

Thanks

What a terrific collection! I sail out of the West River 9n the chesapeake but rarely have a camera handy and it takes me to long to get cell phone
There are several Cape Dories in the area but not nearly as many as you've captured

I've had a guy I know sailing with me and he observed/commented that he thought the shrouds were too loose. Please note, he is not a rigger. My wife has had some ongoing medical issues, so I haven't had as much time as I'd like so I havent attended to all of the things I should. So one day I was goi...

My rigging seemed to be a little too loose. so i checked the owners manual linked on this board and it said not to get it too tight,"not bar tight" and that there should be about an inch of slack. Am i misreading or does that sound right?

I've found I have a leak from the back of the engine so I have to empty out the engine pan and bilge regularly to avoid the pump dumping oil in the water. I talked to the mechanics at Marine Engines Unlimited in Galesville and they suggested I wait until the end of the season to have it repaired. Al...

Looks really good,, I just might use it. I need to redo mine anyway

Even though I have a Facebook account I don't use it often. I have found this forum to be incredibly valuable from entertainment to how-to, to envy producing.

I need/want to update my mainsheet traveler on my CD 27 and wondering if it's possible to use the existing track.

I contacted Gerhauer and they said to remove the track and send it to them, same with Bacon Sails in Annapolis.

I've got a photo somewhere of the rats nest that is behind my switch panel, I'll find it and post.

I've been considering for some time doing what John's done, although, I know my woodworking skills won't match

I've noticed small amount of water accumulating in my engine pan. Can't find anything on the engine leaking so one afternoon the local mechanic agreed to take a look, for the price of a cup of coffee.. He agreed it wasn’t coming from the engine and opined it was probably from the rudder shaft. Now t...

Jim Walsh, I can really identify with your comments above because I do that sort of thing all the time! However er,this time it found me I've noticed small amount of water accllating in my engine pan. Can't find anything on the engine leaking so one afternoon the local mechanic agreed to take a look...

Thanks

Not sure how I screwed up a response! But I'm wondering if this would applicable for a 27. If so I'd be interested

I found that the stern light fixtures on my boat was crushed. I promise I didn't back Into anything. So I ordered a LED replacement. I thought I ought to rewire it since the old wire is cracking Trouble is that I cannot figure out where the wire runs. I'd just. cut it off flush and run a new wire bu...

Thanks
