Good morning. I have consulted some other CD25 owners, and apparently the bulkhead shift to center is a common symptom amongst older boats of flex and mast compression. The port bulkhead has pulled about 3/4 of an inch away from the interior liner. Apparently, there is no fiberglass tabbing that att...

spent 30 years in the keys growing up
much of it in a campsite at AOD in rock harbor
it was a nice place. now ... its just a place thats warm in winter

want to be ready to head south with ease of releasing recovering ground tackle ...

esp if the usa goes to poop in the coming months/year!

i want to retrofit my cd25 with a proper bow sprit

anyone know a vendor who can build/construct one?

thanks

Adam

I'm considering adding teak handrails to foredeck (thru bolt) and using as attachment point for furling line.

Next I fixed small eyes and blocks along inside edge of teak toerail aft to cockpit. Works well.
