The Cape Dory Board

I have a pretty special little Cape Dory 22 which believe it or not happens to be on Lake Travis, that is going up for sale this month if you'd like to see her. She's at Marshall Ford. We've put a lot of love in to her.

Thanks to everyone for the great input!

I am ready to replace the main sail on my CD22 and am looking for sailmaker recommendations. I've never purchased a sail before, so I could benefit from the collective experience here. A few details, related questions: – Casual lake sailing. No racing, no ocean going. Common wind speeds are 6-18 kno...

Wasn't trying to rub it in.

Actually, I guess I was. A little

The wind was a bit on again off again, but yesterday was a beautiful change of pace from the unusually legit winter we've had in Texas this year. Thought I'd share. Cape Dory 22, still being put back together after recent repair work....

Strangely enough, I had the exact same experience on the same day you did. I've been trying to bring a CD22 back to life after it lived through Hurricane Harvey. I re-rigged it completely, mast and all (thanks to many suggestions from this board) and was taking it out for it's maiden voyage, when ba...

Great story. Great photo. Cheers!

Just picked up a lightly used Tohatsu 6hp Sail Pro with the 25 inch long shaft and I quite like it. Plenty of power for my CD 22, it seems.

Hey CDer's, I'm putting a Hurricane Harvey-damaged CD 22 back together and have received some great help here so far in rebuilding the mast. The mast itself was snapped in half and accidentally hauled off, so I've been flying blind in trying to replace the attached parts. The last piece of the puzzl...

Sounds like you may have already found yours, but just in case: Don't know if you've seen this one, and I imagine it is literally the maximum one could possibly spend on a Cape Dory 22D, but I've seen it in person and it's just stunning. Lots of custom woodwork, impeccable condition. Amazing boat (p...

Thanks everyone. After consideration, and several phone calls I went ahead and placed my order with Dwyer. Customer service has been good, responsive, and genuinely helpful / informative. I'll receive the mast and several related components sometime next week and will follow up with a review of what...

Thanks to all of you for your responses. I hope to be knowledgeable enough after my rebuild to contribute back. I'll compare bids from Dwyer and US Spars. I'm afraid going with wood is a little intimidating to me now, but sure would be beautiful. I'll follow up with a review of my chosen solution on...

I'm new here, but very happy to be. I have adopted a CD22 that was dismasted in Hurricane Harvey and am working to bring her back to life. I am trying to determine my best options for mast replacement. I have contacted Spartan (rig-rite) and attempted to work with them on a bid for my mast but have ...
