The Cape Dory Board

Still available.

I can't explain why it doesn't work for you. It works OK for others.
Maybe cut and paste the link into a browser?
Sorry. I wish I could fix it for you.

Raven is currently in Deltaville, Virginia. Extensively refurbished 2015-2017 to support our long-distance cruising, so she is not a fixer-upper. She is listed for sale for $49,000.

After many years of twisting my 6'2" body through my CD36 port lazarette to get behind the engine, I installed an access port in the cockpit floor. I wish I had done it years ago. It has made possible what was previously impossible. I used a Bomar cast aluminum access hatch. They make two types...

Correct! The staysail is on a roller furler. The now-dead windlass was mounted just aft of the staysail furler drum, on top of the bowsprit. I'm hoping to mount the new windlass roughly in the same location.

All:

The gear case and mounting plate of my Ideal (brand) windlass have rusted beyond repair. The Lofrans Tigres windlass has been recommended as a replacement. Does anyone have experience of one of these on a CD36?

Thanks in advance,

Doug: Stay away from the Honda outboard. While it functions it does a good job. The problem is Honda's choice of materials: mild steel !!! My motor recently started spewing engine oil from the top end. Turns out that the valve cover had rusted through. So, too, had the carburetor bowl. So, too, had ...

It has just happened again. I have been charged deck-length for below the waterline services. In this most recent case, a diver charged 36' to clean the hull below the 27' waterline. In the past, I have been charged 36' to put on bottom paint below the 27' waterline. In both instances, I challenged ...

Russell: If I were re-doing Raven's bow pulpit, I'd given serious thought to some sort of seat. When the self-steering is set and the weather is good, I just love sitting up there with my back to the forestay. Yes, I know it is not the safest place to be, but the thrill is worth the risk. Can't easi...

Here's the setup on Raven. Can't claim any credit; the boat came this way from PO. Traveler is the original Nicro system.

My Loos tension gauge says that it is calibrated for 304 stainless steel. My rigging is 316 st.st. so I use it for only relative measurements, rather than absolute. Has anyone found a multiplier to recalibrate this tool for 316 st.st.? Presumably, Loos thinks there's enough of a difference to mentio...

These are the measurements on Raven (1984 CD36 #115): saloon centerline at: galley 75" mast 75" vee berth 72" vee berth: thwartship fwd 24" thwartship aft 86" centerline 72" port/stbd edge 78" I'm 6'2" and have lived aboard for 4½ years w/o banging my head on...

Bought one in May of 2006. Very happy with it. Only problem is the metal inside the gas filler cap rusts very badly. Honda's solution: always use premium gas and stabilizer.
