The Cape Dory Board

Due to a variety or reasons, including a very bad back and now living several hundred miles away from where she is docked, I am selling my CD 22. I am just the second owner. She is a sound boat and has given me many years of pleasure. Has (1) Jib, (1) 150% Genoa, both in good condition Mainsail in f...

I also have a relatively new to me, about 1 year, CD 22. I have been looking at the same problem (challenge?). I talked with "Guido" at Gaurhaurer (sp?) and for a very reasonable price they will send me a traveler system, holes drilled to match my present track (spacing and size) and curve...

When I purchased my 22 about 10 months ago, the bolt that holds the tiller key in tightly was missing. The key, which is made of brass, was worn down somewhat, from not being held firmly in place. I just couldn't get the tiller strap on tight enough to keep out some "slop" in the steering....

As explained above, a swell is a long period wave in the ocean which results from distant energy source such as a Hurricane. Seas are shorter lenght waves produced from local energy sources, i.e. wind. You can predict seas by knowing the wind speed and the fetch (distance the wind blows over the wat...

Thee can be dozens of reasons for your GPS coordinates to be different from a tourist map. First what data is your GPS on? What datum is the map you are pulling the coordinates from? What datum is the map you are carting on. There are over 100 datums worldwide. If yo are not familar with a datum, ju...

I bought my CD22 from the original owner. Here drain hoses were not crossed and that is the way hey came orginally. I have never had any problems yet, and the previous owner never had any issues with them that way either.

I don't know about Tohatsu, but I assume it is the same as for the Johnson/Evinrude engines. According to the company website, up to 10% ethanol is safe to run. As to the rubber fittings, think of all the ethanol that will be running through gasoline hoses in gas pumps and in other in tanks, through...

I grew up on the south shore of LI and from as far back as I can remember, summer time was spent in, on, or near the water. Rowboats out of Babylon as a kid and then later surfing on Fire Island. College saw an oceanography major meet a woman who grew up on the CT shore. Marriage had me bring a 16ft...

I have a friend, a COL in the USMC, who is being transfered to Mitchel Field in Mid-June. He learned to sail last summer and has been my sailing partner in racing 420's and on my CD. If anyone in that area is up to having a willing, but relatively inexpensive crew member, or has a recommendation as ...

A competent marine technician shouldn't charge you more than about an hour a seacock worth of labor to replace the ones you have. Then you would have the price of the new seacocks added to that. All in all, if you are not sure how to do it, the peace of mind you would have from a pro doing the job i...

They have a lot of wood that is hard/difficult to find.

Ok, With you all getting my mouth watering for tastes of my youth (you say appetizing around here and people think your talking about canapes), being born in Brooklyn, but raised on the Island, with all my family, Bubbe and Zedde, living on Ave W, I have a question. My senior in college daughter is ...

I am about to take possession of a CD 22. I do have a few questions that the owner can not answer for me. Some of these may seem very basic, but my sailing experience is almost totally in dinghies and hobies. 1. When out for a test sail, using the Jib (believe it or not it is the original Jib that c...
