Cathy, I love those pictures and videos. Come take some more!

The first City Island NY Cape Dory Rally on July 18-19 was small, but very high quality and great fun! Thanks to Cathy, Bruce, and Charlie for a great time. We had a delicious dinner Friday night, then a pretty darn perfect daysail on Saturday. We circumnavigated historic Hart Island, sailed by Exec...

I look forward to joining you next month for the rally. My plan currently is to leave Jamaica Bay sometime the week before and sail outside to Block Island then down the sound to City Island. Failing that, I can head up the East River, through Hell Gate. That's great! Looking forward to meeting you...

Apologies for not pulling off the hoped-for Cape Dory rally at City Island Yacht Club this year. No matter what I tried, I couldn't get a weekend for it (admittedly, my own schedule was a bog part of the problem). Planning for a rally next summer at City Island begins NOW. That way we will surely ha...

OK, it looks like there is some interest in a get-together on City Island NY this Summer! I'll fix a date with the powers that be at City Island Yacht Club and post it here and other appropriate places. In the meantime, I will ask you all to talk it up among all the CD owners you know, as I will. Ba...

I'm posting to gauge interest in a weekend Cape Dory rally at City Island NY this summer. The fun would include a Cape Dory race, dinner with CD owner/attendees with all the CD discussions we love, and a weekend at picturesque City Island on the western end of Long Island Sound. Moorings will be ava...

I've noticed a tiny bit of play between my rudder shaft and it's through-hull sleeve, maybe 1/32 of an inch or less, on my 1977 CD27. How should I deal with this? Thanks in advance for your wisdom.

I recommend City Island yacht clubs, my own favorite being the City Island Yacht Club. It's the only club there, or in the area, with 24-hour launch service over the entire summer. The folks are friendly and welcoming, and there are several Cape Dory's moored there. Please contact me via email for i...
