Re: Another Interesting CD
What a treasure trove of interesting ideas and upgrades on that boat.
Can any of the Daysailor owners on the forum tell me if this is a cuddy version Daysailor or a highly modified Weekender? I like the deep cockpit--it's one of the shortcomings of my Weekender that my knees are up to my chest when sitting in the cockpit, though the tradeoff is that the cockpit is no longer self bailing. I also like that little partial bulkhead just forward of the rudder that opens up the area under the poop deck. Down below it looks like there used to be a berth but it was removed. It sure opens up a lot of space!
The listing talks about the keel-stepped mast which was a Daysailor thing, but I don't know if the mast was modified or came that way. That's a new halyard exit box just above the deck. Nice boom vang arrangement, too.
Nice cleat guard out of PVC pipe in the 7th photo. I've seen them made from teak before, but that PVC job is a simple, inexpensive, and functional solution to the problem of snagging sheets on the foredeck cleat. I may have to build one myself.
Interesting companionway hatch arrangement. I wonder if it was a standard hatch that had side boards added to reduce leaks or if Cape Dory hadn't settled on the later hatch arrangement when this boat was built? If I'm not mistaken that is Isle of Shoals in the background of the photo.
Every Typhoon should have cam cleats on the cabin top for handling the jib sheets. That was one of my first additions to my Typhoon. They make tacking the working jib super-easy.
Interesting arrangement with the genoa winches and genoa cam cleats. Those winches look even smaller than the tiny Lewmars (I think they are size 6?) on my Typhoon. This boat has the coaming cleats on the side of the coaming, which I can see would be a pain to use. My Typhoon has cast bronze cleats that stick up above the coaming and sort of work as jam cleats. They are quick and easy to use while tacking, so I never felt the need to do a modification like the one on this boat. Here's a photo of mine:
I like the long genoa tracks. My genoa doesn't set properly on the short little tracks from the factory.
I'm lusting after the big tent structure in the photo that shows the trailer. I'd like one for my CD22 instead of having to store it outside. (My Typhoon gets squeezed into the garage in the off season so she's happy as is.) Nice aluminum trailer too.
I hope this boat finds a new home. Thanks for posting, Jeff.

Re: Another Interesting CD
I should have zoomed out a little on the photo so you can see the cam cleats for the jib, too:

Re: Another Interesting CD
It's a very early Weekender (hull #6). The owner posted it for sale here: http://www.capedory.org/board/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=38536wikakaru wrote:Can any of the Daysailor owners on the forum tell me if this is a cuddy version Daysailor or a highly modified Weekender?
