The Cape Dory Board

I though someone cleaned out their bilge and was selling the scrapings

So -- would a Ty be too cramped with 4 (or even 5) people? My story is similar, except for the wife part. I was looking to upgrade from a little 13' Flying Junior that I learned to sail with last year to something a bit larger. I have two boys, 14 and 12, and wanted something that would not only be...

Not what was the wisest and safest sailing plan for this extended voyage. Not prudent seamanship in anyone's book in my view and it begs the question; There is nothing wise or safe about circumnavigating the globe solo and unassisted...period. I suppose that is why people do it. I, for one, can thi...

A pretty amazing story to be sure. And an even more amazing young lady. I have never been in a sailboat in 35' seas and can't imagine what that must be like. But since no one's getting out of 'this' alive, if I had my choice, I'd rather go that way than sitting in an easy chair with a clicker in one...

The analogy was not to compare chicken manure to soap. It was to compare organic fertilizer or soap to the non organic type. Sorry if that was confusing. \My point was not to compare organic fertilizer to soap either, Steve. It was about trying to compare saturating your entire lawn with organic ma...

Chicken manure is organic. If you heavily fertilized your lawn with it instead of some chemical fertilizer and allowed it to run into a water body it would still have a negative effect. That and a very stinky lawn but it would be organic. That's a silly analogy, Steve. How can you compare "hea...

Try Dr Bronner's. It's 100% organic and been around forever. The wackiest of wacky environmentalists can't say boo about it. That is unless they are just looking for something to say boo about. It comes in a concentrate and if you mix a mild solution it will not foam thus not raising unnecessary att...

When I want to search all of craigslist I simply do a google search for Cape Dory 25D craigslist. The first 3 or 4 pages will tell you everything you need to know. Anything after that is probably too old to matter.

If you want to narrow it more: Cape Dory 25D craigslist nj or fl or ma etc.

OK, went to see a few boats yesterday. Typhoon is out. Way too small in the cabin for my needs. The 22 I looked at was great. And the mast is actually under the 30' limit at my local reservoir. Back in play. Now it's just a matter of deciding whether I want to be a trailer sailor or not. If so, I ne...

Thanks Cathy! Round Valley is a little scary. I think it is over 190 in a few spots. Rumor is, if you make it to the bottom you might find the lost city of Atlantis. Seriously though, you don't see too many sailboats on Round Valley. I hear the winds can shift 90* in a flash. If you swamp a boat the...

I did a 6 day trip with my son (10) last year and its doable, the nice thing about the Ty is there is tons of storage space for its size. Two teenagers and an adult would be pushing it though. The main thing is to find anchorages where you can get to the shore easy, you can pull a ty in pretty clos...

New guy alert. Been lurking a while, first post. My boys (14&12) and I have been playing with a late 60's Flying Junior in a local reservoir (Spruce Run, NJ) and we had a blast last year. Thankfully they took to it nicely. It's hard competing with video games ya know. This year I am thinking abo...
