The Cape Dory Board

It definitely looked like a CD 27.

Thank all of you for your inquiries! The boat sold through the broker this week.

We are selling our 1977 CD27, currently in winter storage in Haverstraw New York. The boat is listed with a broker for $18,000, but if I sell the boat privately, there will be no commission charged. I will give a significant discount to a cape dory board user. The boat comes with the following: Furl...

I am 6'2" and my wife is 5'8". We have enough room to stretch out in the v-berth if we both lay at an angle towards the hull( feet in the v and shoulders and head angling away from each other on the same angle as the hull). If you want to cuddle up, it gets pretty tight and the spot direct...

We used Anthony Fazio who was extremely thorough. He is located in East Northport, but does surveys all over Long Island (we used him in Port Washington). He is a member of the ABYC; SAMS AND NAMI and is accredited. His # is 631-754-8518 He provided us with a 24 page bound report which also included...

Does anybody out there own the cd33 formerly known as Gypsy Rode out of Port Washington? She is the boat that made me a cd'er. I now own a 27 and hope the old 33 is still as special to someone as she was to my parents.

I appreciate the quick and helpful responses! Cape Dorians are alway's quick to share their experiences. I'll probably give these a shot, as true self tailing winches are beyond my budget and these seem to work reasonably well.

Does anyone have any experience with the blue rubber attachments that supposedly convert a standard winch into a self tailing winch? West sells them for about $40 a pair, rather reasonable if they work well.

If you're ever headed to Oyster Bay, let me know and maybe I can meet you!! Sorry for the delay in response. I hope we can hook up this summer, it would be a delight to meet such a staple on the message board. I have some family in Bayville, so It would be a fun trip to Oyster Bay. I will let you k...

For someone who "commutes" 50 mins each way to get to the slip, all I can think of is how cool it must be to have a slip in the back yard! For someone who grew up on long island (manhasset bay), all I can say is you have a great cruising ground over in oyster bay. As a 3rd year cape dorian...

Yes jeff, that is exactly where I drilled. I stopped the water quickly with a stainless steel screw, but clearly this is very temporary. I am strongly considering Russells advive to haul. If I don't I will use the underwater epoxy on the outside ans west epoxy on the inside till I do haul. Thanks gu...

I was trying to mount a y valve for a new automatic bilge pump on my cd27. I used a very small bit to drill a starter hole on the side of the deep area of the bilge just under the cabiln sole. (just bigger than a pin hole). After about 1/4 inch, water started to leak in at a constant rate. This hole...

I'm about 6'2" and routinely bump my head in the 27. I would have to guess 5'10"-5'11". It is not difficult to deal with when you pay attention, however.
