The Cape Dory Board

Looking for a CD 10 in the New England area. To be used as a tender so doesn't have to have sails.

Sold.

Many thanks to the CDSOA for being a fantastic resource !

Moved on to something a bit bigger but I am still fond of Cape Dories and the Alberg design.

I've thought about an Ensign, Ty Daysailor and Ty Cuddy, but none have self bailing cockpits ( I know, seems like a minor issue) and not many Ty Daysailors or Cuddy models around.

Would like to be able to daysail with 4 people comfortably, my Ty is too cramped for four. A 27 (or 25) is too much boat for what I need.

See attached for the rub rail profile. Max height and widths are 3/4 X 3/4 inches, at least on my old Ty. I cracked my rub rail in a couple of spots on our Association dock a couple of summers ago during a battle with lumpy seas and used the old rail as a template. I didn't replace the whole rail, b...

i had a similar problem with the coamings on my Typhoon, due to its age and likely multiple teak sandings over the years. I solved the problem by drilling thin holes perpendicular to the cracks, partially filling the holes with West System epoxy, placing narrow screws into the holes and topping with...

Interesting traveler addition....can't tell what the piece to the right of the stern cleat is though.

Last year I tried bottomfishing from my Ty in Buzzard's Bay and caught a bunch of black bass and a decent-sized flounder. This year I decided to try trolling with either my 4 hp outboard or while sailing. The fishing while sailing attempts went ok and I caught a couple of black bass but I wound it c...

I have a friend who's building a wooden Friendship Sloop (actually he's rebuilding the boat using the old rotted timbers as a template). He recently told me that he was painting instead of varnishing his bright work. When I questioned this, he explained that most old wooden boats were painted.

My boat came with a Yamaha F4 4 hp 4 stroke and it's been more than adequate for Buzzards Bay currents and tides. Pretty light and reliable too except when I forget to turn on the gas or pinch the gas line from the tank.

Sleep, nice job of removing layers of bottom paint. I'm contemplating this as a next year project. Two questions though: how did you remove the bottom paint; since it looks like you still have vestiges of the old bottom paint left, will you remove down to the gel coat before you barrier coat? Thx. P...

The battery on my Ty Weekender is located under the starboard locker/seat with wires running to the cabin. My guess is that one of the previous owners placed it there to balance the outboard weight on the port side. I like the idea of no battery and AAA powered LEDs but my battery powers an automati...

Thx everyone for their thoughts and suggestions, very much appreciate the help. Today I began to prep my Ty for the winter and took a moment to drill a couple of small holes in my keel blister. Surprisingly not a drop of water was to be found. I do plan to grind out the spot and will plan to repair ...
