Thank you so much for sharing the information about your work on the B-24. I purchased a 1974 24 that is completely original. The P O did nothing but sail her a couple of weeks per year. I'm starting by replacing the standing rigging, then on to the deck fittings and then the interior. I will move the shrouds outboard; my last boat had them there and it was easier to walk forward; at 70 years of age, walking forward is best done with as few impediments as possible. Again, thank you for sharing. I will be sure to follow your lead and share any changes I make with fellow Bristoleers.

Loved reading about your new CD22. I enjoy reading about owners restoring these older classics that so deserve it. FYI, my wife and I bought a hurricane damaged Nor'sea 27 and we are about halfway finished with its rebuild. I feel your pain and share in your joy! Good luck and fair winds from Boise, Idaho.

Thank you so much for taking the time to read and comment on our blog site. Restoring an old and/or salvaged boat can be a huge undertaking, but it certainly has its rewards when completed. There is nothing like the feeling of pride and satisfaction you get when sailing a boat that you know you restored and did a nice job on. And, sometimes it gives us the opportunity to own a class of boat that might be unattainable otherwise. We are also admirers of the Nor'Sea and back in the day when they were still being built new, we looked at them as a possible cruising boat for our retirement. We' ve gone through many "cycles" since then. We still don't know what that final cruising boat will be, but I have no doubt that when we finally find it, it will need to be rebuilt!!

We have absolutely no experience with launching a sailboat at a ramp (well, other than a really small one). Our Cape Dory 22 trailer is a lift off, as we plan to keep her in the water during the season anyway. The idea of having to launch and rig every time we want to go out just doesn't appeal to me at all, and I felt that if we came to view it as too much of a hassle, it may keep us from going out as much. Hopefully, someone else will respond to the question, but I cannot answer it. Thank you for your interest in our blog site!! Becky Reply to this

After reading the ad for the Triton on Lats & Atts and reading your blog, I've come to realize we have a bit in common. I'm a Maryland resident trying to finish a 30' catamaran someone else started. It isn't a hurricane boat like your CD 22 but it might as well be. It's my first project boat and, boy oh boy, have I learned plenty the hard way.
Anyway, you seem very resourceful and, with all of your previous experience, very knowledgeable. I am wondering if you have one or more local sources for supplies and/or used parts, other than the typical Bacons, etc. I am looking, as an example, for a 13 or 14 foot boom. If there's something you need to find I may know where to look, also.

Unfortunately, this will be our first boat restoration since we have lived in Maryland. We moved here from San Diego, CA just 3 years ago.

They have everything spar and rigging wise and their prices are very reasonable. I have read many good comments about them on the Cape Dory board. There is also a website for a used gear place that has spars and masts, it is called "Sailorman".

Since I am almost addicted to eBay anyway, keeping an eye on the listings are no chore for me. Marine swap meets (and there are usually plenty in the spring - check the "Spinsheet") can be a good place to find used gear too.

I will let you know how that works out. For sails, we got one sail from the Sail Warehouse, and Ullman is making 2 others for us. We used Ullman several times in California and were always pleased with the price, quality and service. I hope our experience will be the same here. Reply to this

Thanks for the heads up. I have never used snobowl, but we have been using the Lysol for several years now and have never had any problem with it. We do not leave it on for any amount of time though. We just pour it on, scrub it around with a brush and rinse it off. Becky Reply to this
