Member Benefits
Owners Network:
As a CDSOA member you'll belong to a growing network of Cape
Dory owners who are more than willing to share their knowledge
and experiences concerning their boats and boating, you'll make
new friendships that may last a lifetime, and you'll get a chance
to meet with the owners and sail on boats that you may aspire
to one day own.
Newsletter:
You'll have unrestricted access to our online newsletter,
MASTHEAD.
It's usually filled with event information as well as articles submitted
by our members regarding their sailing experiences on their Cape
Dorys and during rendezvous events. And whether it's adding insulation
to your ice box or just locating extra storage space, you're sure
to find some helpful project info too.
Events:
In addition to a network of friendly and helpful
owners, and our newsletter, we host several rendezvous events
and meetings in each of our fleets'
regions annualy during the sailing season, as well
as a general membership meeting each November.
Fleets:
As a member you choose your level of activity. Whether
you just want to surf our web site, converse on the message board,
sit back and read the Masthead, or sail
to one of the numberous rendezvous or float-in events, you're sure
to find an activity that suits your needs.
We have several very active regional
fleets: Carolinas, Chesapeake, Great
Lakes, Gulf Coast and Northeast. They all host multiple land and
on-the-water events each year. So why not meet up with fellow
Cape Dory owners at a rendezvous or float-in. Can't sail there?
Why not drive! We usually have a seminar or two as well.
Don't see a Fleet in your area? Why not start one! Each CDSOA
Fleet was created "by, for and of" its members. Members
make it all possible. Somebody has to take the ball and run with
it, why not you?
Web Site:
Member dollars also finance this web site, including
"The Cape Dory Board",
our message board, an invaluable resource for all boaters. If you
enjoy our message board, why not join? Member dollars keep it going.
Chandlery:
We are proud of both our organization and our Cape
Dorys and we show it by wearing hats and t-shirts or carrying totebag
that sport the CDSOA logo. There are other items too. And in addition
to the CDSOA
logo items, you'll also find links to products offered
by other Cape Dory organizations as well as to the web sites for
manufacturers, model makers and authors on our More
CD Stuff page..
