The Cape Dory Board

Has anyone who has a CD "Senior" tried to add a bimini ...is there enough room under
the boom...could I lift the boom by using a reef point? ....any thoughts or suggestions
would be appreciated.

Steve,
Thanks for the advise. Looks like in order to do it right, I'd have to add a winch
and use rope clutches. Looks like it may not happen this year. Oh well, there's always

Gary, Thanks for the advise and Pictures... I'm not sure that setup would work for me.

Thanks Agin, DAvid

I need to replace a part of my sole on my Cape Dory Senior..the v-berth section only. appro. 25" x 22".
I'd thought I check and see if any members might have a small peice of the teak and holly sole left over they may want to sell. I live in Salem Ma.
Thanks, David.

I have a 1985 Typhoon Senior... The bottom of the rudder is lose at the base where it slides into the bottom of the keel. There's seems to be a lot of play. Is there some sort of bushing that belongs in there? When turning leeward the rudder seems to bang, and there also seems to be a lot of weather...

Help, I'm trying to find a trailer for a Cape Dory Typhoon Senior....or
modify an older one. Has any done this? Is it doable? Would any one have
the necessary diminsions for the trailer stands placement.?
Thanks, David
