From memory the first Cape 40 was Cape Maria, sailed by Ron Cowling. A well found vessel that shrugged off a pitchpole event enroute to Tahiti. Hi

It has been a while that I could post updates. The internet access is a bit of a challenge at times here in China. Good luck with your project! And keep us informed. If you send me some pictures and some text, I can make a post here about your boat. Regards. Gary,

I am building a Bruce Roberts design 44 footer. I had the steel laser cut off CAD files. Still assembling the frames at the moment. Very keen to see how you go with those kinks Alex. I am a boiler maker and I find a hammer, wedge and a little heat on the spot is occasionaly helpfull, depending on the size of the depression. Good luck SM with the Dix 43. I will also be watching.

Nothing is more exciting than seeing your own boat take shape. Good luck with your Cape 40, and keep me informed about the progress. Fair winds! Hello Alex,

Thanks for your feedback. Nothing is more exciting than seeing your own boat take shape. Good luck with your Cape 40, and keep me informed about the progress.

Fair winds!

I have just bought a Cape 40 Alan Mummery design steel hull. It still needs a rudder and some fairing of the hull. At this point I am looking for ways to get the kinks out without applying fillers. But, the rest of the boat still needs to be built and I'm very excited. You have an avid listener in me. Regards Alex Ball. I’m very excited about your project.
