Hi All, I have two well-used, but serviceable, Barlow #20 Winches for sale. $50/OBO for the pair, plus shipping. These are the standard jibsheet winches for a Cape Dory 30. Click on the link below for photos. Ideal if you'd like backup winches or just would like to add a couple on your coach roof wh...

Hi All, I have a V-Berth Insert for sale. It was for a Cape Dory 30. This was a spare insert that I had purchased before "rediscovering" my original insert. Cushion and teak insert are in good condition with some wear and tear here and there. Price: $50 plus shipping. See photos below. You...

Hi. I rebuilt the companionway hatch a few years back and added strips of UHMW just underneath where the hatch sections slide. The challenge was making the strips adhere to the fiberglass. After a few trial and error approaches, the final solution was to apply a special loctite adhesive (works with ...

Thanks, David! It's bittersweet for sure. I'll always love my CD30. :) I bought a 1980 Young Sun 35, a double-ender, very similar to a Tayana 37. I've got some work ahead of me. A bottom project, rewiring, and caprail work is underway and a deck re-core will be on the horizon. It will be a fun proje...

Best of luck in your travels! Looks like you'll have an amazing voyage.
Take care!

A preliminary description and equipment list is below. See the sailboatlistings.com ad with photos here: http:/...

Spartan Marine sells a bronze backing plate with holes/etc. for the cleats that are mounted on the coamings. A few years back I purchased and added a cleat on my coamings for rollerfurling. The backing plate adds a lot of strength, and it looks pretty.
Thanks,

Hi Debbie,
I just sent you a Private Message.
Thanks,

Sorry to hear of your accident. I had the toerail replaced on my CD30 about 6 year ago by a nationally-recognized boat repair person in Milwaukee at Centerpointe marina. Not sure if you'd want to make the run up here from Chicago, but he did an amazing job, including new Awlgrip/Awlcraft topsides, b...

Nice stuff! Beautiful day!
