Hello everybody. I have a CD 25 D. I would like to pain the interior of the boat. My CD has like I assume all of them this "plastic shinny surface" next to the ice box area and on the floor. As you can probably see from the type of questions I have never done this before. Not sure if is ve...

I would like to pain the NON WOOD interior of my CD 25D. By that I mean the area around the ice box , stove, main cabin under the settees, head. Is this pure fiberglass? I am planning to use white as it is now What is the preparation and what type of paint? Which is the easiest way? Is there any goo...

Hi all, I just finished doing the teak of my CD 25D. I used Semco teak sealer. Despite all my precautions (painters tape, paper etc) I made few stains in the fiberglass. I called Semco and they say that they have a product called "Dock side cable and fender cleaner" that is supposed to wor...

Any help will be appreciated.

Thanks
BP

The only thing left to complete my research is to sail one. I was wonder if anybody could invite me for a day sail in one of these boats. I l...

Thanks to everybody for your thoughtful advise. This Board is unbelievable. I did not expect to have this type of response. Any thoughts on Sailtime? Even tough I have not sailed any of these boats, because of their price range and their reviews I am leaning to either a CD or a Bristol 27. I am hopi...

Hi everybody, I am looking to buy my first sailboat. I am going over the literature, specs etc. I live in Jacksonville, FL and the boat will stay in St Augustine or Amelia Island. I will be using the boat for day sailing but I will be venturing out couple of miles in the ocean. Planning also in the ...
