The Cape Dory Board

I bought my Fairclough for $2,600.00. It's getting a little threadbare but it's still in one piece. I also store it indoors.

My record is 18 boats, on Sunday we did 17. 3 were ketches so we did 20 masts in 5 hours for 4 an hour. The crane guy charged us for one hour of travel or 6 hours. Everybody stays and everybody helps as best they can. The biggest time consumer is the operator moving and putting out the outriggers an...

We start at 8:30 and will go 'til around 1:00.
We are in the Atlantic Highlands Municipal Marina.

We rent a crane and get together to share the cost. We can average 3 boats an hour coming down. Even with the ketches, yawls and double spreaders. We typically get it under $100.00 per boat. We'll be doing 15 or so boats this Sunday if you'd like to see it done a few times. We're in Atlantic Highlan...

If it's the slotted type you can free the locking nut with a large flat screwdriver and a hammer. If it's hex you're going to need 2 wrenches, one to hold the packing nut and one to turn the lock nut. You may want to spray it with penetrating fluid first. Once free, back the lock nut off a little an...

Ours is connected to the mast step.

And we can always use the AHYC club house.
Keyport is cool too.
McDunnaugh's (sp) is a good pub.

and still holding up well. So it's been out in the winter weather for like 6 years.
At $2,600.00 including the frame, in '97 that's $216.00 a season, so far. And the boat's been covered for 6 years.

The one on the very top of my rudder post wore out. It made a lot of noise and had some play in it.

I do keep an eye on the cables, and have had to tighten them, but I have not serviced or looked into the rudder stuffing box yet.

My RH 36 has a bushing at the top of the rudder shaft that started to make noise and was worn out. It was a knuckle buster to replace but not too difficult. Mine is accessible just underneath the emergency tiller access port. Check it out.

in Sayerville is a great small loft

After 13 years the Armada is looking pretty patched and in some areas downright bad. Karen and I have all the brightwork inboard of the rails stripped. We're going to apply 2 coats of West System epoxy then 7 or 8 coats of Epiphanes. We intend to do this under the cover. We'll do the rails and bowsp...

Is a great place to hang

I work for a company based out there. On one of my first business trips out there I went looking for a boat to rent. I found this funky little outfit in Sausalito. They own old Bristols, Cal 20 somethings, J 24s, Santanas etc.., all in ship shape condition. They also represent owners of larger boats...
