The Cape Dory Board

Russell Handler's company was formed after the original Cape Dory ceased operations. He bought most of the power boat designs and only lasted a few years. If you follow the link at the top of the forum page to the CDSOA Home Page you'll find a link to a brief history of the Cape Dory boats. Welcome ...

My '76 Typhoon's HIN starts with 'CPD'.

Amazing. I got nothing else.

Beautiful shots, Jim. Thanks for sharing.

CDSOA has a copy of the 1981 manual to download. Specs for standing and running rigging are near the end.

Good luck with your project!

Thanks Ron! It's been a pleasure chatting with you backchannel.

Beautiful!

Once you glue and clamp the strips, they should retain the shape. I have aways heard that you should use, air dried wood, instead of kiln dried for bending.

It's a very early Weekender (hull #6). The owner posted it for sale here: http://www.capedory.org/board/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=38536

Too true!

That's a really early boat. Note the wooden bulkheads and wooden cockpit benches. Probably worth saving -- just at what cost. Hopefully you're handy and motivated.

Rent a pickup from U-Haul for the day and tow it yourself? Down and back to Irvington is easily done in one day (2.5 hrs each way). Or splurge and spend the night at the Tides Inn! Good luck and enjoy the new boat. We love ours.

Fantastic pictures. I love the mooring payment system.
