The Cape Dory Board

Thanx.

The hull plate badge, or whatever it's called, says that my 1974 typhoon was built in West Bridgewater. I thought Cape Dory was in East Taunton, MA.

Great idea. Thanx.

Thanx.

I'm talking about something to hold the mast and boom for transport and winter storage

I'd like to build a more useful boom crutch. Any thoughts? Pictures?

I'm making some modifications to my trailer and would like to place a couple of 2X4's so the keel will ride between them, it doesn't look like I have enough room. Any thoughts?
Also, pardon my ignorance but, is all the weight of the boat suppose to rest on the keel as opposed to the stands?

Wonderful advice. Thank you all.

So, use the main instead of the jib? I just got the CD Typhoon this spring and have sailed about 5 times. My mooring is at the far end of the field so, I guess that's a good thing, if I'm coming in without a motor.

Any advice on what to do when you've got your sails down on the way to mooring, and the outboard won't start? Sail to mooring? throw out an anchor?
