The Cape Dory Board

From a Facebook 'Cape Dory 36' group post NEPENTHE is about to be scrap.

Yes the downward angle on a CD 36 is close to 15 degrees. The limit for a Perkins 4.108. Some sailboats angle to the side a few degrees so the shaft can be removed without having to remove the rudder. Prop walk is actually something that it useful/desirable when docking. At speeds above 2 knots stee...

Yes. On a Cape Dory 36 the shaft angle is 15 degrees.

John,
Feathering props do not change propwalk. Propwalk is a result of the shaft angle. They do however increase the thrust available in reverse and make it easier to to use propwalk to your advantage.

I have no experience with this alternative. However, it is the only 12v (or 24v) air-conditioning unit I have found for marine use. It is also very expensive. Though, they did try to sell me an older unit at about half price.

Let me know if you are interested in crew for individual legs of the trip.

I did improve the drainage in the port locker by cutting holes in the floor. (used for a three strand rode). The edges of the ply were then coated with tung oil.

Well maybe...it could be just a major panic I'm feeling. My CD36 Skylark is under contract.

Used an Aerogel product called Spaceloft to insulate under the counter top. It has an 3xR factor over styrofoam. Then covered it with PVC sheeting.

If could find a trailer to go with her. Any leads?

I have been doing some research (oh no here we go). As I am selling Skylark and, searching for a larger boat as well. In this process, I have compiled spreadsheets for the CD36, CD40 and, CD45 (including the Robin Hood produced boats). Almost evert HIN can be found vessel registration records (USCG ...

I use North Sails in Annapolis for most cleaning and repairs. The also have certified/approved sailmakers in the locations. When I was in NC I had Allison Sails in Wilmington clean my sails and make new sail covers.

I hope they are not bedded with resin. Looks like there is white between the glass and bronze.

Has anyone removed the bronze cockpit scuppers? The ones on my CD 36 weep when it rains and should be rebedded.
