types of windows and ports on the cape dory

Post by Richard Walcome »

I am trying to establish a data base on the sizes of opening and fixed ports on the different Cape Dorys. My intention is to produce opening and fixed ports to exactly match old production parts. I just need to know overall outside dimensions (cutouts if you like), whether fixed or opening and cabin side thickness. I also would like to know the different sizes and quantity of boats produced. Thanks

Wanna better portlight? Here's your chance.

Folks -

Richard is the producer of portlights whom I referred to in my previous post. All you CD owners who have been complaining about plastic and/or non-opening portlights - here's your chance to help someone make you an improved version - so speak up now!

Richard was real good about not advertising - so it's up to me to mention his Web site again - <a href="www.newfoundmetals.com">www.newfoundmetals.com</a>.

By the way, Richard, you'll find the sizes and quantities of Cape Dorys produced by clicking the "Where to Look" icon at the top of the main message page. Look under "Manufacturing History".

Regards,

Walt Bilofsky

I have just ordered some screens for an '81 CD25. Spartan Marine made the bronze ports, call them for specs, they are very helpful.
