CD22/22D Brochure from 1981

[wikakaru]

My boat's previous owner just sent a box of goodies he had stashed in his basement. Included in the box was a 1981 tri-fold vintage brochure for the Cape Dory 22 and 22D. The brochure was well worn--it was obviously pored over longingly by someone, and it was literally falling apart as I scanned it. I haven't seen a copy of this particular brochure on this web site, so I thought I would provide it to everyone. Maybe one of the board admins can post it with the other brochures.

It apparently was intended to be opened sort of like a book, so the 6th panel is actually the "front cover". But several of the images span multiple panels, so I chose to present it here in two unfolded 25.5" by 11" pages.

Anyway, without further ado, here it is:

Enjoy!

Nice. I always thought the 22 was a very handsome design. Love the permanent back stay and the fore and aft lowers on a small yacht. Looks ready to cruise anywhere the owner desires in safety.

Hey thanks for posting this. It is nice to see what my CD22 looked like "out of the oven", especially the plaid upholstery

One thing that caught my eye was the the use of the bulls eye leads on the side decks to route the sheets from the jib to the cockpit. Frankly I would not have thought of doing this, being afraid that they might pull out over time and would also generate a fair amount of friction. It seems that routing the sheets through blocks might be better. This might just be my ignorance so I am wondering what others think about this use. Thanks,

Designed that way for better sheeting angle. The outboard tracks actually have marginal sheeting angles due to the rig design.

I'm glad everyone is enjoying the brochure!

Those plaid cushions are truly hideous, aren't they?

I think the boat sails much better with the jib run to the fairlead than way out on the rail. However, the jib has to be cut exactly right to have this fixed position lead. Mine is just a tad off, especially when sailing off the wind. I found a discussion on this board when I was rigging the boat (http://www.capedory.org/board/viewtopic ... ad#p161875). The key was in this post by Gary M on running the sheet between the forward lower and the upper shroud.

Hi Nate,

I run my jib sheets through those "bullseye fairleads" on the deck then between the forward and upper shroud then to the jib.

I believe all 22's are set up this way.

It works for me

Gary

Here's a photo from last summer (taken before we removed the previous owner's hailing port) that shows the jib sheet lead on our CD22.

Smooth sailing,

Jim

Jim, thanks so much for posting the brochure! I am hoping that the CD22D that I purchased recently can be transported to my home next week. Interesting the brochure says it is a 7.5 HP diesel when I thought it came with a 6.5 HP Yanmar 1GM - guess I'll find out soon . Also, I don't think that I would describe a 7'4" beam as "beamy" by modern standards. I am hoping the previous owners still had the brochure and owners manual in which case I will scan and upload them as well. Agree the hideous plaid interior cushions will have to go (mine - an '84, has them too).

Re the sheeting angle, I have a 130 on a furler on my TY Senior and experimented with not using the deck fairleads last summer (see photo) when going from 100% to 130% and back to 100%. Based on the varying sheeting angles, I'm wondering how much friction the fairlead adds? I suspect the aft stanchions are too far back to clip a block to each?

Since the 22D has a hanked-on headsail, I'm having my local Doyle loft make a new 130. I will ask the loft manager about the sheeting angle and fairlead when he comes over to take the measurements since its going to be on a roller furler. What's nice is that the seasoned yacht industry folks around here (near where the Cape Dory factory was located) still remember the details about getting them set up.

Gorgeous boat!!!

Is the lazarette just a locker, or was that an outboard well? I don't see any signs that it was an outboard well. With her fairly high SA/Displ ratio, she should do pretty well as an engineless boat.

A question about the side deck fairleads, and, a little surprise hidden in the brochure ....

First the question. The comment made by Gary M in the forum link that was provided above indicates that "There are backer plates on the bulls eyes, so probably stout enough". Wondering if anyone with a CD22 has actually seen the plates, can describe them, and/or has pix of them? Also, if you are using the fairleads in this fashion I'd appreciate your opinion as to how well they are holding up and do they increase friction an appreciable amount?

As to the surprise in the brochure.... it seems that someone has drawn anatomically correct "crew" members taking a break in the v-berth! Not readily visible unless you open the second page of the brochure in a separate tab and then enlarge the image!
Once you do that then you'll notice the faint (erased pencil?) stick figures in the v-berth. Accidentally came by this while trying to get a better look at the layout of the main cabin which differs slightly from mine. Good for a chuckle !!

Good catch! Also odd that they are "head-forward" even though the "linens" appear to be set the opposite!
While I never had a CD22, I've owned 2 Typhoons and 2 CD25s and would never sleep that way in any of them.

I don't think you will have success using the single mid-deck bullseye fairlead for a 130% genoa (it is too far forward for that, and the shrouds would be in the way). Certainly not if you intend to partially reef using the roller furler, since the lead will need to move. I think the bullseye fairlead was designed for the factory-supplied 100% jib. But definitely make sure the sailmaker takes measurements of where the genoa tracks are located so the new sail leads properly to the tracks you have.

Smooth sailing,

Jim

Wow, I totally missed that, and I have the original! I took a closer look at the original and I think it's drawn in pencil. I'm wary of trying to erase it on the original, though it would be fairly easy to do digitally. Still, it makes a good "watermark": if that image pops up somewhere else on the internet, we will all know where it came from!

Smooth sailing,

Jim

Jim - That's what I was thinking too. JD

[s2sailorlis]

i've always assumed the deck bullseyes are only for 100%, anything bigger won't work due to the position of the clew, sheet angle, etc.

Any chance you still have this brochure? I am desperately trying to find an original brochure for the 1981 Cape Dory.
