The Cape Dory Board

That's correct, just the sides. Good luck.

My seacocks were frozen. Maybe not as bad as yours. Everyday for about 2 weeks straight I stopped by the boat and sprayed them down with PB Blaster and tapped the handle one way and then the other. I hit them solidly but not as if I was trying to knock the handle off. Eventually they all broke free....

Will do. I ran out there a couple of months ago. I could probably spend a week crawling through all that he has! Hope to see you out on the water one day. -david Looking for a pressurized alcohol stove & oven with tank for a CD30c. Crazy, I know. If you have one rusting away in your garage, I'd ...

Looking for a pressurized alcohol stove & oven with tank for a CD30c. Crazy, I know. If you have one rusting away in your garage, I'd be interested.

Very nice work! He could sell those...or give one away to the first person that comments on your post

I can’t wait for fall. Went out to the boat today. Smoking hot in Florida and the humidity is oppressive. October can’t come soon enough!

She looks fantastic!

And John probably knows best because he has the prettiest Cape Dory I've seen!

Full disclosure, I have never tried this. However, my dad used to mix sawdust of whatever wood he was using in with wood glue and use that as a filler to match the color. Maybe that will work? Maybe it will look like crap. I have no idea, just a thought. Good luck and please let us know what you tri...

Looks really good. I really like the idea of adding bulwarks to the Cape Dory. They just seem to belong.

I motored our CD30c yesterday for about 2 hours and once we got back to the dock I realized that the bilge was more than 1/2 way filled with water. I manually pumped it out and took a quick look around the boat for any leaks but didn't spot any. This afternoon I went back out to the boat to see if t...

Hilbert, thank you for the really helpful information!

hilbert how do you like the thickness & transparency? Would you go thicker/thinner? Would you go dark smoke 36 or keep what you ordered? I'm looking at doing the same thing and would greatly appreciate the information that you sent to Tap Plastics. I'm assuming the CD28 & CD30 hatches are th...

The Bomar hatch gasket material looks like 9/16" vs. the 1/2" McMaster-Carr Ultra-Weather-Resistant EPDM Foam Cords for the Spartan portholes I don't know if that matters as I haven't changed either one. I do need to replace the lexan?/plexiglass? in my Bomar hatch though. https://www.mcma...

I have an RM-8 and it wasn't charging as well. When I bought the boat, it was missing the external fuse and cap, so I assumed that was the problem. I replaced the cap and fuse, but it still didn't charge the batteries. I checked with a non-contact AC power detector that the charger was receiving AC ...
