Re: Deviation Diagram

Thanks John
It's always so windy here in coastal DE that it's hard to get a steady reading
without a 3 anchor mooring.

Deviation Diagram

Greetings All,
Just out of curiosity, has anyone made a deviation diagram for their boat?
And if so, how many degrees of spacing to simplify interpolation?

Carbon Fiber Mast

Has anyone replaced their aluminum mast for a carbon fiber one to reduce weight aloft?
If so, would you care to share your experience and would you do it again?

CD 25 In Water Care

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

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
