Before i get carried away one ? on cruises

triehl27

I spent 2 years on and off looking for the right 16' boat, and i came to C-Dory. I wanted one used in Cruise style. Couldn't find one.
Long story short I got a 16' Arima. I stilll love the CDory.
Here's the Question:
Is the Arima excepted at the cruises?

Speaking for the Nashville Gathering we had, or that is still going on (3 boats still on river and have not been pulled out since day 1 of gathering), you would have been more than welcome to join us. About the only folks that even know these events are taking place are those of us who own C-Dorys, are seriously looking to buy a C-Dory, or previous C-Dory owners who wish we had one today... and, I have never had the opportunity to get on a boat like yours....and had seen them at the Atlanta Boat show... Bought a 16 C-Dory cruiser...after having been on one.... bought a TomCat....after having been on one. Hope to see you in Nashville, TN area, next year around the 1st of April. Byrdman in Alabman

Oppss... That is Byrdman in ALABAMA....before one of my other C-Dory friends spots that and jumps on.... grin. Interesting that the Nashville gathering started on 1Apr05....and 23 days later......she's still going....and going....and going.

...27, not sure from where you hail, but you're sure welcome to play with Puget Sound Brats. The fact that you're 16 feet has no bearing on my magnanimity. Just close the door behind you, if you would.

triehl27,

Our mutual interest in C-Dorys is what started the C-Brats, but its the camaraderie of friendly people that makes it great!! Smile

If you like C-Dorys, you will probably fit in. Try to make it to one of the gatherings, meet and greet the folks, and you will know! Wink

You will mostly likely be fed, handed a beer, and offered a ride on a C-Dory. Smile

Hope to see you there! Teeth

I for one believe being a C-Brat is a state of mind, not necessarily ownership of a particular boat...but was your question "accepted" or "excepted"????

Arimas are great boats- I used to go 50 miles out for albacore in a 17' Sea Ranger. I was actually looking for an Arima when I found the C-Dory.
Here's one for ya-
