Cape Dory 24

There is a Cape Dory 24 in Annapolis. Does anyone know the owner? I am trying to get a ahold of him or her and personally invite them to the Cape Dory Rendezvous in St Michael's, md May 16-18......

I am trying to have virtually every model represented, and I would love to have a 24 trawler there!!!

Re: Storm Jib

Traditionally much cheaper than Bacon's in Annapolis is Minneys yacht surplus in Los Angeles. They have a vast number of sails and shipping is very cheap.

Re: Ice box in 25D

If money is no object, there is no reason not to install vacuum panels inside the box. these are thin, they are expensive (but not too bad). a 1" thick panel adds R-40 insulation
