The Cape Dory Board

Yes, upper side stay.

Am going to use half inch G10

Stanchion base seems flimsy but not much choice.

going to add a backing plate to the main side stay on a cape dory 28. will be using main halyard in place of side stay as i loosen the side stay. problem is what do i attach main halyard to ? stanchions do not seem strong enough and if i use a line attached to main winch and front cleat the angle is...

Appreciate any help.

I need to replace the hose in the cockpit drains and I wonder what kind of hose people get and what is the diameter of the hose ?

Thanks,

jim

I have a cape dory 28.

For safety I would like to replace the rubber gasket on the fuel cap.

But it does not look like a normal gasket. Can I use a normal gasket and where can I find the gasket ?

Also gasket for the water cap.

Thanks,

jim
