Anyone in Hunt. NY own a CD 18 or 22?
I'm researching the feasibility of owning a CD 22 and would like the benefit of a live conversation through IM or phone. Some things are better shared live....How many people are comfortable to have aboard at one time? Is it really launchable off a trailer? Is it possible for a two person team to step the mast? Is it big enough to handle the LI sound near Huntington/CT.? What are common maintainance issues - we had a serious structure issue on our current (14') boat.... what does it feel like? I returning to the water after 20 yrs ashore. We just rebuilt a 14' day sailor & we need "more boat" But - not so much more I'm afraid to go out alone - or with just my 8 & 10 YO's. Looking for insights....

I sold my cd22 about two years ago and my experiences with her were all good. I'd say "for comfort" day sailing would be fine with 4/6 and overnighting two adults though you might also fit in two small ones. Maintenance issues are typical as they are solid boats. To move her and store her, I used a triad trailer ( spelled $$$$ ) but not the "float off" version as I sailed from a slip or mooring in the south Jersey shore area - mostly Barnegat Bay - after moving her from Manhasset ( PO's port on the Sound ). I know that two can handle stepping the mast but I chose to spend the time sailing instead, if funds were available. Having also owned a Pearson Triton my experience is that the cd 22 feels like a bigger boat, some say a small yacht, and can handle more weather than the crew. If the mast is left stepped I'd say you'd have no problems single handing even with two small ones and if you're tempted, and have the time, will soon be visiting Block Island.

Inquires about CD's 18-22' in preperation to purchase same.
Hi Pam,
It was nice hearing from you yesterday, and I see you were successful in finding your way onto the message board. Already you've had a positive response . I hope others who have experieice with the 18-22' CD's will also take a minute to write as well. Regardless of whether they live and sail in NY or anywhere else on a lake or river their experience with these boats would be very helpful in determining the best CD for your needs and addressing any questions you have concerning the boat your interested in purchasing.
We look forward to having you join the ranks of fellow CD owners and hope you'll consider contacting someone in the Northeast Fleet to learn about their up coming meetings and crusises. You may also wish to join us in Groton,CT on Nov. 5th for the Annual General Membership Mtg. and Dinner. I hope to see and meet you there!
Sincerely,
Sharon Kairis

CD 22 Or a Ty
Hi Pam,
I'm glad to hear that you're returning to the water after 20 years ashore. You are going to discover that there is a world of difference between a 14' boat and a 22' or 18 1/2' boat
A CD 22 is a great boat for you, so is a Ty. Speaking of the two, unless you have access to a CD 22, I have a feeling that you will probably wind up with a Ty. According to my info, there were only 175 CD 22s made and those who own them are not inclined to part with them. On the other hand, there were about 2200 Tys built. You know, the old supply and demand syndrome enters the scene.
At present time, I own a Ty. Through the years I have owned several of them. They are GREAT boats. You ask if they are big enough to handle the water in LI Sound near Huntington/Conn. The answer is a definite yes. I used to live on the north shore of L I and have sailed my Ty for years in this area with no problems to speak of.
How many people are comfortable to have aboard at one time?
With a Ty, two is company, three is tolerable and four is a crowd, Adults, that is.
Is a Ty really launchable off a trailer?
Yes, I do it every spring. It is a pain to do it every weekend or so. I would recommend that it be kept wet at a slip or mooring.
Is it possible for a two person team to step the mast?
Yes, it is. There are some that step it by themselves. Two adults or teenagers are much better and safer. Three is a piece of cake.
What are the common maintenance issues?
Without giving you a short answer, they are about the same as with any other sailboat. In your area you should keep the cabbage and barnacles off the hull.
What does it feel like? (to sail a CD)
For me, glorious ecstasy. For others, nirvana. Aarghh.
Pam, for my 2¢, the Ty sounds about right for you and your 8 & 10 YOs. It is plenty big enough for your crew with being too big that you should be afraid to single hand with it. Just sail with common sense and an awareness of what could happen if you were to take chances.
The Ty is a fun boat, good looking too. It is a strong, safe boat that won't let you down when the going gets rough.
I wish you all the best in your search for your dreamboat.

Hi Pam,
I'm looking out the window at a Ty sitting in Huntington Harbor. She's a few boats over from a 27. They are a frequent sighting, which should attest to their suitability for the area waters.
A Ty is easily enough to handle sailing off Huntington, and a 22 of course more so. The Bay between Lloyd Neck and Eaton's Neck shields from much chop accumulating, and I can't recall many instances this season where it was much above a foot. Even going out further into the Sound seldom gives conditions that would phase either boat.
Regards,
Brian

CD 22 Or A Ty
Hi Pam,
I hope that you are not like me, always forgetting to check if there are any personal messages waiting for me to read. Well, anyway, there is one waiting for you that was sent Tues. Sept. 20th.
Briefly, to answer some of your earlier questions:
Yes, Ty is a short way that people on this board use instead of writing Typhoon.
A few other abbreviations commonly used are - PO, meaning previous owner. LWL, length of the hull at the water line. SA, sail area. The letters CD mean Cape Dory. The size of a CD with the letter D following denotes that it has a Diesel engine. Larger size CDs don't use the suffix D because it is more or less understood that they don't use an outboard (OB) for auxiliary propulsion
There are many more abbreviations used in boat talk but I'm going through a mental block and can't think of them at the moment. I'm sure that after reading this board for a while, you will become adept at deciphering what the posters are really saying.
Keep in touch. We thrive on questions.
