Hey people, I could Really use some help here. I'm looking for the Bronze, or is it Brass, oval shaped "Cape Dory" plate the goes on the boat. Michael Heintz had shown me one But now I can't seem to locate it. I looked at "Bristol Bonze" But can't seem to find it on that site. ( I may not be using the site properly) I live in N. Providence,If any one knows of where I can get this plate I'd be very greatful. My CD, is just about completely restored, and We'd like to be able to top it off, by having all the peaces back on the puzzle. Any help you can give would be greatly appreciated. thanks J-

Plastic Plate
Interesting thing happened to me this week. I'm varnishing all my interior woodwork on my cd25d. (More on that at a later time). I had to remove my "bronze" i.d.plate. When I did, I found out it was plastic! When did this happen? I thought they were always bronze. Does anyone know the history of plastic plates? Not a bad fake, I looked at it for a year and never suspected anything but bronze.
Thanks,
Mike

Re: Plastic Plate
My CD25 #21 (built in '73) has a plastic plate. I spray painted it with some "sorta bronze" color paint (I found it in the shop cabinet....so I used it). Someday I'll get a real bronze one.....but I'm really hoping to have it screwed onto a CD27 or CD28.

Re: Plastic Plate
My plate was plastic. I just assumed it came with it new and sat there all these years.

Re: Plastic Plate
I broke my plastic plate trying to take if off...I'm told the standard plate was plastic but a bronze ?? one was available as an option at the time...in any event, the Bristol Bronze ones are the way to go....have mine installed and looks great!Mike wrote: Interesting thing happened to me this week.

What did the new bronze plate cost? I assume they also stamped your number on it also.

Plate Location in a CD33?
I received the brass plate from Bristol Bronze several months ago and am finally getting around to installing it inside Sirius, my CD33. Problem is I can't find the original location? Where is the plate mounted in a CD33? Please advise.
Thanks in advance

Over the Companionway?
Frank,
I think they belong just below the hatch on the crosspiece above the companionway facing aft, but I am no expert in these matters. Maybe the Nautical Traditions Officer will be able to help us both.

Nautical Traditions Offic
Re: Placement of the builders' plate.....
Captain Vernet,
Traditionally, the plate is to be mounted on the forward frame(aft surface) of the companionway hatch coaming. Centered Port to Starboard and top to bottom. It will be immediately visible to anyone upon entering the cabin! Two small approx. 1/2 inch wood screws will secure it against all but the most severe weather. (actually, if the weather is severe enough to blow the plate off that frame, ya probably don'ts belongs out there anyway!)
Please contact Roger W. at Bristol Bronze with any order questions. Search "Where to Look" on the main site page for his telephone number.
Your servant Sir, I remain........

Further Explanation Respectfully Requested
Captain Stump
Sir,
As always, we mere mortals gratefully sip from the fountain of all knowledge - AKA Nautical Traditions Officer.
Surely it must be my fault, but I remain somewhat confused. Your concise and succinct explanation, eg. "forward frame (aft surface) of the companionway hatch coaming...immediately visible to anyone upon entering the cabin" leaves this sailor and proud boat owner somewhat perplexed and vexed.
Unless I misunderstand, the forward frame of the companionway hatch coaming is BEHIND a person entering the cabin...and therefore cannot be immediately visible to that person. Upon entering the cabin of a CD33, there is NO vertical surface to interrupt line-of-sight save the bulkhead forward of the mast that separates the salon from the head, wet-locker and V-Berth spaces.
I therefore, very respectfully, request amplifying and clarifying information. I realize that the lack of understanding lies with this trusty shellback and in no way reflects poorly upon Captain Stump's brilliant advice.

That Is What He Meant
Frank,
I am sure that Cap'n Stump meant what he said, "forward frame (aft surface) of the companionway hatch coaming" but he has forgotten how most people use a companionway ladder. However, just before you turn around to use the ladder properly, the builder's plate will be "immediately visible."
