Check all attachment points of the pennant and tackle line. Check the
blocks, clevis pins, and circle pins for wear. After each sailing
season, check the pennant attachment to the board when the boat is being
hauled and in the slings. Before the next season begins, paint the
trunk and centerboard again with the board in the slings and inspect all
parts in the system to insure that they are in proper working order.
If the centerboard gets jammed inside the trunk, due to some debris
between it and the trunk wall, it may be loosened with a mop handle or
something similar pushed through the centerboard pennant passage hole
within the table base. Do not strike the trailing edge sharply as it
could damage the board.
To remove the board, the boat needs to be in slings on a hoist or travel
lift. Take great care when removing the board as its weight on land is
much greater than it seems in water. Dry weight of the centerboard is
approximately 80 pounds.
The location of the centerboard pin is as illustrated in the centerboard
drawing. Putty has been used to hold the pin in place and must be
ground away to remove the pin. Take great care in this process.
Contact your dealer or Cape Dory Yachts for any additional information.
XIII. SPARS, RIGGING, AND SAILS
The mast on the Cape Dory 270 is deck stepped on a compression post
member extending from the underside of the deck to the ballast. The
mast step is fastened in place on the deck with 4, 3/8"-16 HH bolts
tapped into an aluminum plate sandwiched between the headliner and deck.
The mast and boom are both made from 6061-T6 aluminum extrusions. Both
are anodized with a clear finish which provides the best means of
protecting the aluminum spars. Anodized spars require little
maintenance except for an occasional thorough wash down with fresh
water.
When they are removed from the boat for the winter, they should be
thoroughly washed with plenty of fresh water and a mild detergent.
After a complete rinsing with fresh water, and after all halyards and
lifts have been neatly tied-off to prevent tangling and fouling, a
thorough inspection should be made. Start at the base of the mast.
Water will collect here if the drain hole in the mast step has not been
kept clear. This may hasten the breakdown of the anodizing and start
the corrosion process. If water has collected and caused corrosion,
clear the mast step drain hole and refinish the mast base or heel.
Waxing will help preserve anodizing.
Proceed up the mast noting any areas that are scratched or abraded. If
these are small, they may be covered with a clear lacquer of a mast-kote
type product to keep corrosion from starting or spreading. It is
recommended that you apply to the mast a good hard wax as this helps to
protect it further. As you proceed up the mast, check every cleat and
