The Cape Dory Board

Carl, great pictures, can’t wait to see the rest of the presentation. Only one week before the Cabin Fever Lunch. Registration was quick an easy. Looking forward to seeing everyone and to enjoying a beer and some great Newick’s seafood. The 2023 season is just around the corner! All the best, Bob

Hi Ken,
The new galley and Herreshoff style interior is outstanding. What a lot of fine work you’ve done. Good luck with selling her…..someone is going to be very lucky!

All the best
Bob

Thanks to everyone who attended the Cabin Fever Lunch yesterday. Susan and I had a great time meeting up with old friends and making a lot of new ones. We especially want to give a big "Thank you' to Jim Walsh for his excellent presentation. Single handing to Bermuda is an amazing accomplishmen...

Thanks Cathy.... NOW IS a great time to register for the CDSOA NE Fleet Cabin Fever Lunch! Hard to believe it's been two years since the last one. You must be suffering serious withdrawals from Newick's great seafood! All signs point to great weather (the weather in April is mostly always better tha...

Hi Jeremiah, Thanks for access to your pictures. Congratulations on your new 25D. She looks like a fine specimen. I’ve had my 25D almost 9 years ago and have no regrets. 25Ds IMHO are perfect for single handed coastal cruising and day sailing. There must have been several originally sold in your are...

Congratulations Carl & Cathy......She sure is a beauty. Great Christmas present!

Hi John, I'm just old....I haven't earned "Old Salt".....But I came across this ad from an ebay selling vintage celestial navigation accessories....I think it is a US Power Squadron LHA Aries Computer? But since I'm a celestial navigation illiterate.....maybe someone else can explain it's ...

I’ll second Keith’s recommendation of Squeteague. Mark spoke at the first CD NE Fleet meeting that Susan I attended. He’s really knowledgeable and he and Julia are good practical sailmakers. We gave them a try for our next sails. They did a great job on a our working jib and 130 genny. Mark suggeste...

Still time to sign up…… Good chance to meet new and old friends on the water. We’ll have bring your own snacks on the water then dinner after at Frisbees Wharf. If you need transportation to the “dinghy float in” give a call to the Cape Dory Fleet for a ride on VHF 16 / 78. See you soon…. :) All th...

Hi Tom,

A few years ago I installed a Garhauer track on my 25D and this board was a huge help. Here's a thread (I hope) that may be helpful....Roberto insisted it be documented http://www.capedory.org/board/viewtopic ... r+traveler

Hi Gary, I have a 1GM in my 25D. I’ve had a little experience with 1GM fuel line leaks…they can be a pain. First thing to do is get a copy of the parts list for the 1GM. The diagrams help. I got mine as free download online. Your Yanmar dealer will also have one. The injector high pressure line is a...

Hi John, Just one data point...I've been using a Rocna 10 (10Kg / 22 lbs) as my overnight anchor on my CD25D for about 2 years. So far I've had no problems with it and it sets very well here on the Maine coast. I decided it wasn't necessary to size up to the next size Rocna for the same reason Dee p...

If your heart is set on a CD25D, try looking for one with a trailer. Triad makes a great trailer for the 25D. I keep my boat in Maine, but I bought her in Duluth, MN and trailered her back East. A modern 1/2 ton PU with a V8 & anti-sway/load leveler will handle the weight of a 25D. So you don’t ...
