For the record:
I have forgotten more about Cape Dory sailboats than I ever knew.

As a founding member of CDSOA, I thought you ought to hear it from me first: Starview has been sold. For the first time since 1980, we are without a CD sailboat. Tia Mar CD27, Respite CD330, and last but best Starview CD36. Of course we do have a 1989 CD28 Trawler Caretaker so we will be around. Mit...

Is this it? Who’s the manufacturer of your latch? https://www.boatoutfitters.com/replacement-flat-key-for-cabin-door-boat-latch Nope, and we don't know.
