The Cape Dory Board

We had one when we were living aboard our IF41. LOVED it. Extremely stable -- we once used it as a platform to apply our homeport graphic and even with two of us moving around in it, it was very stable and the graphic went on straight. Also surprisingly roomy -- plenty of room for us two "non-s...

Thanks Cathy. I registered as a message board user back in November or December. I bought a CDSOA membership the other day online and requested the newsletter to be delivered online. So when I saw your note that the membership number is listed on the newsletter I thought that wouldn't work for me. B...

Cathy,

I just joined today and requested newsletters via email. Nothing I've received so far today gives me the number. Can you tell me where to look or send me an email/pm to tell me what it is?

Thanks,

Ours are in identical, if not worse, condition. Other than what's already been written about on this board, we don't have any new ideas so we'll be interested in the responses, too.

The decision of whether to distribute photocopies of copyrighted material should not depend on the likelihood of the copyright owner pursuing a claim--it should be based on the right thing to do. My post wasn't to suggest that it's okay -- it was to gently suggest that he might not want to do this ...

... but it's been my experience that, in general, unless you are making a profit on the distribution of the articles -- or are distributing enough of them to make a significant dent in the readership of the magazine -- and not citing the source -- in other words, if the magazine can prove financial ...

Richard,

You might be talking about the post I put up a couple weeks ago for a roller-furl headsail for sale. I deleted it because I had no response and I didn't want to clutter up the board.

Sorry to the original poster -- didn't mean to hijack your thread. Hope you sell your head-stay soon!

As to the diet ginger beer -- I stand corrected, with an explanation. The diet brands I saw on my google search were not carried in Key West grocery stores when I was living there and none of the bartenders had ever heard of any being available in diet (believe me, I asked). If it had been ... wow. ...

A 1973 Cape Dory 25 :) And a new brass bell to install when she's ready for it. Sorry, but the lime is required in a Dark & Stormy. Bartenders in Key West are D&S artists. The rum must be Gosling's but the ginger beer can be any brand although there are some I like more than others but I can...

Pete, No, when we were living aboard our Islander Freeport 41 in Key West, we were living at Oceanside Marina (now "King's Pointe Marina"). Approx. 7 miles from downtown. Nice commute to and from work which we did on bikes for awhile but then decided life is too short and bought a "co...

Thanks, Pete! What happened to your original one? The same thing? Interesting that you mention you had yours made out of SS. We were debating the same thing. I'd appreciate your take on the pros and cons of that. How do you like the SS so far? We were also thinking, regardless of what metal we used,...

"Sojourner" is the reason we bought our Cape Dory 25 this month. We walked by "Sojourner" a number of times recently at the Charleston City Marina and fell in love with her lines and looks. Not being able to afford her and not wanting another large boat, we went online to find a ...

Thanks, Matt. Everything, at this point, is helpful. Your page shows that replacing and reglassing the thing is no small task and we will be referring to it often. We are up for the job, though. It also helps that my husband is a tugboat captain and works for a company with an extensive workshop cre...

Okay, so I went to take these pictures today and finally got on the ground and took a good look at the rudder shoe. It is NOT a "cut out" as I thought -- it's a "wear out!" In other words, the rudder literally wore through the wall of the shoe. (Stan, similar to your situation --...

I can see I'll have to post pics. Ours doesn't look anything like the one on the link. (Thanks guys for the link to the previous thread, VERY helpful!) I'm sure we are missing something but I don't know what (base pin? what's that?) :? What we have is not completely glassed in -- it looks like a bro...
