Pondering a C-Dory 16 Cruiser

I currently own a Bristol Skiff and I have been considering moving into a 16 Cruiser but have never seen one in person. Is there anyone in the San Diego Area that I could deliver a pizza to in order to see this boat up close and see if it would fit what I want to do? Thanks in advance

You can use the Brat Map at the top of the page to find one near you. Welcome to the site, hope you find one!

We really enjoyed our 16 prior to moving to the 22. We spent about 20 nights on the 16 one summer. I lived in San Diego for many years and had sail boats back then, I think a 16 would be a great compact cruiser for the area. Get the full camper back. See 16 pics in our album. Good luck with the search.

Thanks for the input, I am planning on using the boat locally as well as the Channel Islands and beyond. I hope to do some of the ICW and Carolinas as well as Seattle Chicago Boston and some Delta

I would Love a 22 but limited to what I have to tow with (Toyota Tacoma 4cyl) which is why I want to see if the 16 will work for couples weekend or solo multi-day

Check out the comments of DoryLvr, who lived aboard his 16 cruiser, Litl' Tug, for an extended period. Here are some pictures from his album

Pretty Impressive, I lived in a Bigfoot cabover camper for almost a year but that was huge compared to a 16 cruiser

I think Lyle and Janda have been on the road in their 16 for a couple of months now. I will see if I can find the thread...

Here it is. They say they are out for 4 months...

Just wanted to say thanks forum, as I used the Brat map to locate a very nice local that showed me his 16 cruiser, very much to my liking, and Thank to the Cruiser owner. Great boat and it looks like it will work well for what I want.

Hi. If you bought the 16 cruiser and want to discuss it's potential, contact me by PM. My C-Pup16 in Los Angeles intimidates Vikings. See photo album:
