The Cape Dory Board

I agree that sounds odd. Although it seems about the correct size hole. The good folks at Walker Bay suggested I go to an autobody shop for the repair. Apparently plastic car bumpers are made of the same material. Having just had some autobody repair work on my car, I can imagine that the cost would...

Well, I have her at home now. She is an older boat, with a rubber foot at the stern keel rather than a wheel. She has a crack on the starboard gunwale that has been fortified with a piece of wood under the gunwale, secured with screws. It doesn't look like it's going anywhere so I will leave that be...

I may be back in the game with the WB purchase! The guy just contacted me this evening...we're set up to check it out next Tuesday. Wish me luck!

Thanks for all the information. Unfortunately I fear the WB8 on CL might have been sold...the ad is gone. However, I am leaning more and more toward the Walker Bay. I think it will fit my needs well. I might have to purchase new though.

How is it when boarding on and off from the CD25?

Found alot of info doing a search.

Has anyone ever stowed a Walker Bay dinghy on the front of their CD25 while underway? I'm looking at dinghys and came across a used Walker Bay for a reasonable price and was mulling over the possibility of stowing it up front as opposed to towing it around.

Thanks,
Jay

I am located at Herrington Harbour South on the Chesapeake and am curious if anyone in the area uses their iphone on the bay. I was thinking about investing in one and performance on the bay would be a factor. I would not only want voice but 3G data to work in day sailing range from my home port. An...

I know that a Nissan (same as Tohatsu and Mercury) 6hp pushes my CD25 just fine. My slip neighbor has a CD26 with a 8hp.

Yesterday morning I arrived at about 9:30. Everything was dry except for one spot that I must have gotten on a little thick was tacky. I went ahead and went over everything with a red scuff pad and tack cloth and proceeded with the clear. I added a touch of flow fluid for good measure (it is optiona...

I arrived at the boat this morning around 10:30. I cleaned the teak and let it dry. I didn't use a two part cleaner for several reasons. One being that I didn't think the water was going to be on at the marina so I was going to have limited water, two being that our marina is a green clean marina an...

I want to apply my Honey Teak to my cockpit teak this weekend. Teak is all stripped and sanded. Tomorrow I want to apply a 2 part stripper to even up the teak and remove any residual finish and/or mildew. I just want to know how long I can expect to wait for it to be dry enough to apply the finish. ...

Well, I just bought primer/paint from West Marine today, so we'll see how it goes. It seemed to be new and is liquid, so I am hoping it will be good.

Thanks for all your help. I'll let you know how it goes!

I'm in the process of stripping and recoating my lower unit. Since I'm taking it down to the bare aluminum, I will be priming and painting and then coating with an antifouling type paint. At the end of last season there was only one barnacle but there was a fair amount of corrosion that lifted the p...

Jennifer and I just wanted to thank everyone for the great time we had at the Groundhog Day Extravaganza. Everyone was so nice and made us feel like we were part of the family from the moment we arrived! The entire event, from the raffle and swap meet, to the wine bar, dinner, presentation from the ...

Thanks Brian for the info. I think the dodger would be a great addition to the boat. Best of luck finding a new home for your CD25.
