Here's an interesting website I ran across on another forum.

This guy is sailing around the world on his modified Cape Dory 28. He's done a couple of mods I thought some of you guys may be interested in. In particular, I like the way he tied his stanchion bases into his bulworks. His rudder mods (with homemade self steering) are pretty interesting too. He also raised the height of his coamings...
Ship Trak is kind of a neat product too. http://www.shiptrak.org/
