[Dave Jeffery]

Cape Dory 25 #762 is for sale, one of two ways.

2. You do that work: $6,600.

I've decided to do all the spiff-up work on "Glimmer" myself, beginning the first week in April.

The new 130 roller-furling genoa from North Direct is now ready to ship.

She's still for sale, but when I get her as near-Bristol as I can, maybe I'll be so smitten again that I'll keep her. We'll see.

Carter Brey has taken down the website for his former CD25, which I now have for sale.

So those who are interested in this craft may be disappointed in not being able to find that information here.

I will recombine listings of his improvements with my own and post relevant photos within two weeks or so--probably with a fresh start under a new subject heading.

However, I'll be happy to answer any questions I can in the meantime.

Thanks,

Dave J.

Thank God somebody backed up the Internet. This boat is great and this web site explains a lot of the things I want to do.

I just realized that my way back machine link was broken. I fixed it.

Thanks to Rich, aka seajunkie, the Mary Ellen website has been retrieved like a lost anchor. Click on "Mary Ellen" two messages above.

The damaged toe rail has been replaced, faired, and scarfed in nicely. Renewal of other exterior teak is underway. Yearly tuneup of Nissan 6 hp 4-stroke is in the hands of a great local mechanic. New genoa by North Sails Direct has arrived. Progress continues.

[Dave Jeffery]

Slowed up on refinishing by family illness but expect to get back to the scrapers, sanders, and other chores soon.

[Dave Jeffery]

Send a pm with your e-mail address, and I'll send a new three-page set of specifications.

My wife Jennifer and I are the proud new owners of Glimmer! We had a great experience buying her from Dave and want to thank him for the smooth transition of this great boat.

We spent our first weekend on her over the 4th and had a great time. We sailed on Saturday in fairly brisk winds and loved every minute of it. We're fairly new to sailing and have alot to learn but we are sure that the CD25 is the best boat for us to learn on. I love the way she handles the rough, choppy water in the bay.

We'll try and make regular posts as we spend more time with our new Cape Dory.
