Is the Spartan seacock wrench worth the extra $37 than just getting the lapping compound & grease? I do have the bronze stuffing box wrenches (bought by the previous owner) and I must say they are fantastic to have. Didn't know if the Spartan wrench was worth it. Better yet, does someone have on...

Beautiful. I dream of this boat!

Looking good!

Very nice. I think I want to do this to my CD30C.

Following. i need to replace both of mine. the front is broken and the rear is leaking. I remember reading that cast acrylic is a good choice. I can't recall where to get it though. I'll search the archives and see if i can find it. I just replaced the seals on mine. got the material from hatchmaste...

It looks like I have the same problem as described here: http://www.capedory.org/board/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=35135&p=196069&hilit=shaft+log#p196069 I bought a cheap boroscope from Harbor Freight and had a look at the back of the propeller shaft tube. It appears rather than glassing in the ...

Reading through some posts on the forum and just wondering if I understand this correctly. Is the fiberglass tube that holds the blackfish cutlass bearing glassed in or is there just some sort of putty/goop pressed around it to keep the water out? from the forum: Cape dory liked to just goop mish ma...

I posted this on Facebook, but I thought I would post it here as well. Since I bought the boat, I've always found water in the bilge. I originally thought that I may have a leak or two up top, but then I started to notice that I had water whether it rained or didn't. I also noticed that it was worse...

Thoughts on replacing the Bomar hatch gaskets on my CD30. I found 3 different one's that I'm considering. They are all 9/16" EPDM cord. OEM is part #P100-52. I need 13 ft +/- some for mistakes. Downwind Marine: 15ft x $5.72 = $85.80 https://www.downwindmarine.com/Bomar-Hatch-Gasket-p-90891550.h...

That’s a good idea. Since I only day sail, I might make up a solid plywood hatch, paint it, and leave it at the dock while I go sailing. That will keep any water from getting in the boat while I’m away from the boat. Maybe I’ll put a vent in it too. Raven's hatch boards are in great shape. Part of t...

Thank you. My hatch boards are plywood and seriously delaminated, so I have to do something. Sorry, we only had about a month of sailing after the hatchboards were complete before it was time to haul out for the season, and everything was fine then. I will be interested to see this spring how they w...

Jim, How is the Azek hatchboard working out for you? I need to replace mine as well and was looking at using PVC board. Thanks! Here is the finished product: DSC_5903.JPG I'm not sure how the Azek will weather. I've owned boats with both Star Board and teak for companionway boards, and those materia...

What model? That's exactly what I'm looking for.
