The Cape Dory Board

I lost mine on my 31 last year and got mine at spartan marine like someone mentioned. they have at least 2 sizes make sure you measure. I did not and guessed and got it wrong and had to pay for the return and order what I should have.

I also sent you a PM. I have a 1974 cape dory typhoon in the minneapolis area. listed on hooper yachts.com I have moved up to a CD31. sailed it for 3 months in 2015. has been bubble wrapped in 2015 and 2016 for the winter. I live in st. Louis park and can answer any questions. 952-920-1411 http://ho...

Steve: thank for the reply. now at least I know it does not just sat there. I looked in the locker on the 4th when I was there and it was dry so that was good. now i know where it went. I think yo are right about the bowsprit roller. another person who had a CD30 mentioned spartan I went to the site...

When I was out looking for a boat to learn on I was looking at a lot of boats. I was a a dealer here in mpls and he told me that the best boat to learn on was a typhoon. he had one and sold it and wished he had it back. so I happened to be at a different dealer and he had just got one in so I bought...

I have looked in the manual. done a search on this forum and can not find the answer. maybe some of you owners of a CD 31 can help. It appears when I look in my anchor locker there is no drain. is that correct? if not where is the drain? can one be installed? I have just installed a maxwell windless...

After you guys installed the staysail furler did you notice any more trouble in light wind of getting the jib over in a tack? As we all know in light air sometime the jib gets caught. of course no problem in normal sailing but I would think the furler would take up more space and reduce the space fo...

Jim: when I answered your E-mail last night on another matter I did not realize you were back home. I had not been on the forum for a few days and did not check your progress after page 2. I still thought you were on the way to Bermuda. Sorry for you bad weather but glad you are ok. very hard I imag...

Jeff & Sara thanks for the pictures, seems from the comments that the 31 has a different one but the same idea. thanks for putting a measure tape in the photo very helpful.

Jim:

you are on a trip in your boat. hope you are having fun. A picture would be great, but no hurry. I can weld so I can make one myself. Thanks for your reply even though you are sailing.

I bought a CD31 last fall, put it in the water this june. I noticed a about 4 inch bronze cover aft the steering wheel on the deck. I opened it and found it opened on top of the rudder. My guess is there is a handle made (maybe come with the boat) that allows steerable when the regular steering whee...

Thank you for your reply. that is also my understanding. I will try again at a faster speed.

Thanks for the reply. This has happened in 2 different marina's in open water lake superior in a area protected from wind ( happened while anchoring close to shore) we put it in neutral and then reverse. I will try what you said to try. maryland school of sailing talked about higher RPM for a few se...

Just started sailing a CD31. notice the following when docking putting boat in reverse the stern goes port. However if not docking just putting the boat in reverse in open water the stern goes starboard. this makes no sense. I was with a captain with 30 years sailing experience, still acts as a capt...

Congrats on your new boat. I just bought a 31 last sept. Just put it in the water May 5th in bayfield, WI. Will be taking it to Duluth for the summer. Just started sailing last year. started with a typhoon on a local lake around Minneapolis. Typhoon now for sale. I hope to have fun, as I am sure you...

I just went through this. I am a ham with a general lic. and had my IC-7100 opened up to the marine channels. then talked and read many articles and decided I was not going to go this route. I wind up getting the 2 licenses and bought a Icom M802 Marine radio to put on the boat. Reason is again as a...
