The Cape Dory Board

If I'm not mistaken, in the 1700 and 1800s the ships the privateers were hunting down were, in and of themselves, of value, and then there was the value in the cargoes they were carrying. The bounty money was an incidental bonus. With all due respect to Mr. Paul, given the value of the armed skiffs ...

We do know that both the Atlantic and Pacific were crossed in a 25D though, just two different ones. To me, that adds up to a 25D being circumnavigation qualified. [/size] I suppose it's just being a tad picky to point out that crossing the Atlantic and Pacific would get you about 2/3 of your way a...

There is no denying the importance of D-Day and the American contribution to WWll. And I do appreciate OJ's reminder of this important occasion. But as small boat sailors we should also note that 4 years earlier, the week between May 27 through to June 4, 1940, was also important. The Germans had cu...

My hard copy of Masthead arrived in the mail today. As I scanned the articles I see that Jo and Jack Champerlain are looking for a new name for their recently acquired second Typhoon. If I am not too late, may I suggest "Deja Vu". I note from the picture that accompanied the Masthead artic...

He took three of those long skinny foam 'bananas' that the kids use when they're at the beach, you can find anywhere they sell beach balls, etc. He ran one banana along each side,...

Mr. Myerson, Tis I, The Meddler who is the cause of the thread being closed. I am the one who needs to do the apologizing. And I do so, fully and freely to all those whom I have offended, most especially to Sea Runt, who, though I don't know him/her, I have no reason to believe is anything other tha...

File this under in your MBUI (miscellaneous bits of useless information) folder. About five or seven years ago a soft drink (soda) bottler in PEI, Canada, Seaman's Beverages, a family-owned company that was the local bottler of Pepsi Cola, intended to supply the world with a pre-mixed Dark and Storm...

With respect, I'd like to suggest it would be helpful if you could be a little more specific in the reasons for removing the topic on the SAIL article. If you removed the topic because I suggested Sea Runt was being cheap, then it would be helpful to say this, then I would know, and the board would ...

Last fall when I was in the market for a trailer to haul my newly purchased CD25 I went to my local welding shop and asked their opinion. My man Frank said buy a trailer if you want, but I can build you a steel cradle with removable jacks. You jack up the cradle and slide the trailer under it, lower...

I think Gary M is looking or you.
