Cruising Spinnaker and ATN Snuffer
We have decided to part with our asymmetrical spinnaker. Or call it a drifter. The sail was made by a local sailmaker in Beaufort NC. It is in very good condition. Luff: 41'. Foot: 22'. It is being sold with an ATN snuffer. As far as I can tell, this is the best snuffer made, and it works really wel...

Re: Check Those Mooring Shackles
Hey, Dean. I've never gotten a sticker on either of my moorings. My permit numbers are permanently painted on the ball, and I pay my annual renewal, but no sticker. Then again, we can't afford stickers in Poorhouse Cove 'cuz it's well, the Poorhouse. Hey bud. I might want to mooch a nite or two the...

Re: Check Those Mooring Shackles
But the thing that gets me is how often people will pick up a stranger’s mooring with seemingly complete confidence that it totally reliable, much less appropriately sized for their boat. Very seldom have I seen a mooring in perfectly serviceable condition. I plead guilty. But nonetheless, the absu...

Re: Why is block like this?
I tried, gang.
All I was able to do was leave a voicemail message at Rigrite. They have not called me back, and it's been several days now.

Re: Why is block like this?
Good question! They are still in business.... Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to contact them and ask them what they were thinking, then report back to us all for our edification. :D :D Funny. I might do that. But I dread how many people I'm going to have to go through before I can...

Re: VIBRATION on Test Run on the Hard Before Launch
I personally wouldn't put my boat in gear while running it on the hard (which I have done several times in neutral). Maybe dry packing is causing the vibration?? I would think that the boat would have to be in the water for a while to get the packing soaked right. I'm not sure that squirting water i...

Why is block like this?
On our 31 the staysail traveler-track and the main traveler-track have blocks with this type of car. Our 25D had one too. https://500px.com/photo/306530013/img-by-kudzutraveler?ctx_page=1&from=user&user_id=72656199 Why the heck did Schaefer put those little nubs on each end? I have never bee...

Re: "Cape Dory Cruisers" company
Despite the name similarity, there is a world of difference between Cape Dorys and C-Dorys. In my opinion, C-Dorys are homely (not to mention not sailboats), and I don't think they are rated as great power boats; but admittedly, I don't know power boats. It would appear this owner perhaps wants to t...

Re: "Cape Dory Cruisers" company
Thanks, Cap.
It's kind of sad to see the Cape Dory name used for such boats.

Re: I'm back in
Welcome back. "I am sure it's obvious, but I am a senior sailor with limited brain functionality". I think the fact that we own these boats confirms the fact that we all have limited brain functionality, regardless of our age and most of us are old, Steve. Thanks Steve. Yes, we have all g...

The only thing more guilt wrenching than Jewish guilt is Catholic guilt.
The Catholic part is primarily from my mom's side. My dad's side? You guessed it: Jewish.
I feel guilty taking up your time with this.
