The Cape Dory Board

I am about to replace the non-opening plastic portlights in our Cape Dory 25 #622. We purchased from New Found Metals (www.newfoundmetals.com/) slightly larger frames than the original ones, but the larger rear portlights are just a little short in length. I will need to fill in the fiberglass about...

Check out Stan Freihofer's restoration project. He discusses replacing the toe and rub rails on his CD25. He gives the dimensions which appear to be the same as yours. www.reefroof.com/restdeck.htm I will be replacing the same on my CD25 in the next few weeks. The plastic windows will all be replace...

The CD26 typically had the Spartan Spars CD-3.5 This spar weighs 2.41 lbs. per foot. Standard lengths are 30'1" and 33'7" So, the bare spar will weigh about 81 lbs. To this add the weight of the rigging. Any furler will add some more weight. My CD25 mast is the Spartan Spars CD-3. It weigh...

I weighed my CD25 mast (original Spartan) last fall. It was just about 100 lbs. Yours will be similar, perhaps a few pounds more. It can be raised by hand, but you will need to use some form of mechanical advantage and lateral sway reduction.

The replies are informative. Thank you. I saw the Alado furler and hoped someone had experience with it. The reviews are positive and the price/delivery are good, too. Q: Does anyone have experience using the CDI FF2 verses the CDI FF4? The CD25 appears to be at the limits of the FF2. Is saving a &q...

I'm looking for some advice/opinions about the various foresail furlers available for the CD25. Replacing the furler was not on the "list" for this year. I am trying to make an informed decision. I already searched this forum and got a lot of useful information. The one that came with our ...

Back on CD topic...how to mount a minigun on and armor a Cape Dory. http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0409/21245.html Interesting article. Quoting a warning from the article referenced: ---- But national security experts and legal analysts warn that applying a colonial-era policy to a modern-day...

It was my first CDSOA function. I am glad I went. Although I did not know anyone when I entered Newick's, I was greeted at the door and then introduced to another couple (Dennis and Susan) with a similar model as ours. I felt like I was with friends. It was a friendly social afternoon. I got to conn...

My wife Ellen and I will be there. It is our first time meeting other Cape Dory owners.

Be gentle with us newbies...

I purchased my CD25 for $1225 from an eBay auction. It needed the bottom redone since it had a bad case of blisters. It came with all of its rigging and sails. For the purchase price and the amount of work I had to put into it, it was a good deal for me. You did not really specify how far gone the h...

The traveler on my CD25 is bolted through (as are all of the hardware). You will need to get behind the mounting area. I did drill out several bolts knowing that I was going to replace them.

Good Luck...
