Nautical Quarterly Article on CD-36 Posted

[Ken Coit]

Walt Bilofsky has skillfully taken the scanned images and OCRed text of the Nautical Quarterly Survey article on the Cape Dory 36 and set them up as web pages for everyone to enjoy. The article was originally published in the Summer 1982 issue of Nautical Quarterly, volume 18. You can see the results at:

We have a number of people to thank for gaining the right to publish the article on the web site:

Fraser and Jean Fraser-Harris, of Bristol, UK, the authors.

Joseph P. Gribbins, the Editor of Nautical Quarterly at that time and now with Mystic Seaport did a bit of research on the article for us.

Dave Perry, formerly the Sales Manager for Cape Dory and now with Robinhood Marine, who identified Windsong, the individuals in the photos, the fact that the photos were from a Cape Dory brochure, and that Windsong was in the fleet of Cape Dory Charters.

Dave Perry tells us that the crew on the photo shoot were all Cape Dory employees and had signed releases: Lou Scott, Purchasing Manager at CDY is at the helm, Ed Reily, Quality Control inspector, on port side and Hunter Scott, Assistant Production Manager, is starboard.

Esther Pope, Editorial Assistant at Soundings, helped get the ball rolling with an address for Fraser and Jean Fraser-Harris in the UK and the lead to Joe Gribbins at Mystic Seaport.

And, there were others who responded to my direct inquiries or broadcasts for assistance with clues about Windsong.

Thanks also go to Walt Bilofsky who skillfully took the scanned images and OCRed text and set it up as web pages. Thanks Walt!
