The Cape Dory Board

Hello everyone. Some of these photos have been up on the blog (http://capedory27.blogspot.com) but I thought I'd just put up everything we've taken so far. I'm in the process of organizing and labeling all of the photos, but in the meantime, give her a look! http://picasaweb.google.com/1044300696056...

Tartansailor,

So you still have the engine around?

Andy,

Thanks. I can't wait to see pictures. I've been talking with my local BetaMarine shop this week and have been impressed with their product and their service so far.

I am interested in how your install goes: quirks, problems, etc.

Hello everyone! We're making progress on our still unnamed 27, but the big projects are looming, and it is looking like the next BIG job is getting the old Yanmar out and a new power plant in. Good times. First step, out with the old. As always, I'm looking for advice, and input before I get the wre...

I'll snap some photos as I remove the light fixtures so you are sure they are what you want! Stay tuned.

Hey everyone, As we refit our CD27, we are stripping out a lot of original parts. I figure some of you might need some of them as replacements or backups... Right now we are removing the seacock valves from the hull. They are all the original Spartans (save one that was a Perko and was decidedly des...

We have a Force10 single burner gimbaled stove that runs on the 1# propane bottles. We plan to carry it as a backup for rough conditions and use the mounted stove for most of our cooking...

Hi everyone! I hope the rest of you are out sailing, but if not, here are some of my current dilemmas for you to consider... I haven't posted anything in a while, but we are actually getting to work on our CD27 this week (starting with the new galley, electrical, and propane systems)! http://capedor...

Thanks all, for the feedback. The Admiral is impressed that so many people are so concerned about her warmth and comfort on the high seas! Duncan: I've thought about installing on the port side, but that would require a remodel of the table. We have the version that stows up on the bulkhead. And I h...

Hi all. We're in the early stages of refitting our sadly neglected CD 27, and one of the needs we have is a nice heat source. We sail year-round up here in the Puget Sound, and keeping The Admiral's feet warm is in everyone's best interest. Trust me. We've settled on a propane fireplace, since we ar...

Thanks for the kind messages and PMs, everyone. We have spent a lot of time reading these boards prior to buying the boat in the first place, so I know there is a lot of support! We joined the CDSOA a few weeks ago to support the cause. It was our first Cape Dory related purchase after the boat. :D ...

Hello everyone. My partner and I just stumbled into a CD 27 that we are fixing up and making over. We've started a blog about the adventure. Come visit!
