Some time ago a fellow sailor posted a thread about a rubberized canvas bag
that could be mounted to cover the immersed portion of an outboard; then filled with fresh water
it would keep barnacles at bay.
Anyone know of the source?

Re: Whisker pole for CD25 - size?
My whisker pole is 6' and has served me well while single handed sailing.

Re: Boat Fire
I would be willing to bet that the boat did not have a 30 amp circuit breaker up from the selector switch

Re: Rigging Tuning
IMHO, A Loos gauge, properly employed, is the only way to go.

Re: Improving the Cape Dory 25 bilge access.
I don't understand why anyone would want to cut up the floor for more access.
There is plenty of room for a bilge pump to be placed forward of the opening to the lowest point in the bilge.
Why not leave well enough alone and go sailing?
Respectfully,
Dick

New 5 HP Tohatsu Outboard, Extra Long Shaft
Bought it several years ago, but never used it.
It has a tiller, and the tank never saw gas.
Zip 19968 Milton, DE
$800.00
PM works best.

I'll second Sapele.
The grain varies considerably, so pick and choose to suit your preference.

Re: CD25 running rigging questions
There are two pulleys on my mast head... one for the mainsail halyard, the other for a topping lift? Or flag?
Spinnaker.
The topping lift is closer to the center of the mast on my boat.
