The Cape Dory Board

Hi Gary, I have a CD 27 with a Yanmar YSB 8. I had the exhaust system apart last winter. A weld had failed on the water muffler, and I removed it to be rewelded. It had antifreeze in it because the engine had been winterized. Other than that, it was spotless inside. It is stainless steel and looks l...

Following. Would like backup for my 20 year old Raymarine c80.

Greetings. This is to those of you with 27s. Mine came to me without the icebox dividers/shelves. I have acquired the two horizontal, fore and aft selves, but now need the vertical divider that supports these shelves. Could someone take a picture of this or even better make a tracing/template of it ...

Considering a tablet to install something like Savy Navy. I'm not familiar with tablets, and wonder if any of you have any recommendations. Does one have to be in WiFi range for them to be useful? My Raymarine chart plotter is 20 years old and I also carry paper charts, but this new stuff seems inte...

Thanks Jim,

I have the Harken winch grease. I guess that will work,

Greetings, I have the mast un stepped from my 27,just for general inspection and maintenance . I have the sheeves removed from the mast head for cleaning. I think that hey are original from 1977 and have never been a problem. They are a little narrow for the 3/8 line that I use. I think that origina...

Thanks Fred, you're the best!

No picture , but in Bullock Cove, East Providence RI, there are a 33,30, 2 27s, and 2 Typhoons. Probably at least a couple at Cove Haven in slips.
Good and popular boats!

Hey People,

Come on to the Float In at Bristol Yacht Club in July. Looks like only 5 boats so far. We would like to see more. Check events calander for details. Hope to see you there. Look for S/V Horizon Song sail # 35 and say hi.

Check out Facebook Marketplace for a CD 27 in Vinyard Haven for $7500.

Not mine, just passing it along. Seems like a good price.

Tried the Rustoleum product again this season, had half a can left. Dove on the prop in July and had to scrape off barnacles. I think I'll try the wax this year, can't be much worse.

I have CD 27 hull #35. Weather helm comes early and I put in the 1st reef. Reduces heel and doesn't seem to affect speed. Sometimes put in the reef before I leave the mooring. It's always easy to shake out . There are a few 27s that have a bowsprit from the factory, only seen pictures of them. Seems...

Sailing my 27 out of Bullock Cove in E. Providence. Frequently in the Hog Island, mouth of Mt. Hope Bay area. Do you have a sail number displayed? Mine is 35. Will watch for you.

I googled Alberg designs and found that he has 56 designs in his portfolio. Most of them just are "Alberg" and the length. You can check them out at sailboat data.
