The Cape Dory Board

Thanks for the great advice!

So, someone has made a reasonable offer on my boat. However, they want a 90 day closing. They will put up 10 percent earnest money.

Now you know why the "Tonkin" caught my eye. See my homepage www.oysterbamboo.com I wouldn't say that ALL of that is history quite yet! I think I'll give it a try, perhaps it will serve a dual purpose for me.

Anyone know if TillerMaster is still in business? I've got an OLD unit that despite my best trouble shooting only wants to turn to port. I'm guessing the circuit board is messed up but that would be a question for the factory. The only number I've found for them seems to be out of service. Anyone el...

Just wondering how close to the centerline everyone sheets the boom for upwind sailing. Most sail trim manuals say to center the boom (under normal conditions) but does this apply to us heavier full keelers? My current boat has even more of a forefoot cutaway than my old CD31 and I find that I get a...
