A big thanks go out to long-time C-Brat Pete (Adeline) for supplying this huge 8-page C-Dory flyer for our archives. He received it when buying his 22 Cruiser new back in 1989.

It contains some great stuff, including a double page center section for the 26 Pro Angler w/line drawings. Another relatively rare inclusion is the Offshore 21.

It was a bit of a challenge to make available here...Pete mailed it to me, and I thought I'd simply scan in on my small flatbed. However, when it arrived I realized that wasn't going to work. It's basically newspaper size, and scanning the big centerfold section required farming out the work to somebody local with professional equipment.

Attached to this post is a reduced size PDF - looks great on screen, so fetch it below if you just want to view it. If you wish to print it out and would like access to a higher resolution file, drop me a PM and I'll supply a link.

Enjoy - and thanks, Pete!

Nice piece of history. If I read that right there is a claim that the 16 was self bailing while underway. Is that correct?

Very nice piece of history!

Most boats that plane and have a plug at the transom at the low point are "self bailing". Just don't forget to put the plug back in! Rolling Eyes

It's been ~1/4 of a century since that brochure came out. The oldest 22 on this site is 1981. Think about it. That 22 has stayed pretty much the same and still works well today. A simple outboard driven dory hull with a cabin and v-berth. That was a great design then and still remains the same.

Just out of curiosity, I wonder who owns the molds now? Marbin to Reynolds to Fluid something to Triton. Different manufactures, same design. I understand there've been tweeks, but it's the same basic hull.

Pete,

Thanks for doing the work to put the old CD flyer into the website. I had an original brochure from my 1983 Angler and it has been put in the same place. Good history.
As I have a 26' Pro-Angler now the info it provides is of great value to me. My 2005 boat was repossessed in Fla. and came without any documentation and any effort to find any has been fruitless. Your info is way older than my boat but much of it is pertinent and very useful to me.
If anyone has any info, brochures, drawings, data, on the 2005 Pro-Angler I would like to arrange ($$$)to get it.

The boat FOR"D" HALIBUT in your flyer is a 1986 model and is still a viable boat. My neighbor across the road here in Ninilchik, Alaska owns it now and I can see it as I type this. He took the name off and re-did the color of the stripes to bright red from dark blue. It is now named the MARYRED. THe hull size/shape of all the 26' CD's are the same from the original one in 1985 to the last one (mine) in 2005. In my estimation they perform excellent and I love mine. I get 2.65 mpg at 23 mph. My neighbor gets the same.

Thanks again for your effort......Jack on HIGH TIDE II

Jack-

You do know, I hope, that Bill Gneiss/DaNag (our site co-owner along with TyBoo Mike) photographed your boat extensively when it was at Gunther's in Sebastapool/Bodega Bay right after it was manufactured and still had a Flying Bridge?

Joe,
Thanks for the picture and info. I have heard about the fly bridge before but there is no evidence of one ever being on my boat. The cabin top is flawless, no holes or attachment points. Nothing to suggest that a new cabin top was put on after flybr. removal.
The rest of the boat is identical including the large ladder up the stbd. side of the rear cabin. I use it to hang things on as there is no reason to climb up that way. The cabin top is easily accessible from the walk around.
I am puzzled about the fly bridge thing.
Thanks again.
Jack

Someone, here in Arlington (Washington) has a 21 Offshore. I've only seen it once driving by on the highway.....and I've never been able to figure out who owns it. To my knowledge, the owners have never logged into this site. There have been pictures of it posted on this site however.

Joe,
I am was wrong on the 26' boat. It is not mine for sure. After I looked closely at the series of pictures of the fly bridge model here are the differences.
My boat:
sink & stove placement reversed.
switches on dash in different place
I have no fridge.
I have doors on port side cabinets under the bench seat
I do not have pantograph wipers (wished I did)
my front deck is an anchor locker with a hawse pipe and a
bulkhead with a door access. pretty useless
my cabin roof has the flat spots to mount pedestal chairs
but no chairs
Boat history:
As far as I know my boat was one of 10 ordered by a SE Alaska fishing/guiding/lodging company. They only took 9 leaving mine which is No. 21 in the series and the last one made. It was hauled from Washington to Three Rivers Marine in western Fla. by Cory Gracy to be sold down there. They put 34 hrs. on it trying to sell it. After 3 yrs. it was finally sold to a diver. He put 100 more hours on it but neglected to make payments. It was repossessed and put on EBay on the eastern Fla. coast. I found it there in April 2009 and bid on it. It had 132 hrs. on it. After an inspection by a marine surveyor the money was paid and Cory's other driver hauled it to Wenatchee, Wash. I picked it up there and towed it up the Alaska Highway to Ninilchik, Alaska where it resides today. It now has 314 hrs. and is working just fine for me.

I am glad that mine does not have that ugly and too small fly bridge. It would make too much windage when trolling slowly and just doesn't look good on the boat.

Jack-

Nice analysis and history review!

I guess I had made a bunch of assumptions, all of them wrong!

I didn't know that about the 10 of the 26's being ordered by the Alaskan company.

Thanks for the clarifications!
