Hi Pat (and all),
We're staying plenty busy and I haven't been here as often as I'd like.
The new C-Dory 22 that arrived here on Wednesday has the new molded interior...it's not a myth. There are two separate pieces (one port and one starboard) the cabin sole remains as it was. The 'look' of the interior really hasn't changed much, it's white and they're still using wood trim so it looks at first glace to be very much like the traditional interior. The doors are still trimmed with wood; now they inset into a molded recess in the fiberglass counter assembly and under the dinette seats.
The space under the galley and under the dinette seats is still open as it was in the old interior and the inside of the hull can still be gotten to.
Hope this helps...
Les

Yes, Rick, probably changed for good. (Choose your meaning of good!)
I still like the older Decraguard "wood" interiors, doors, and teak wood handrails, etc. over white Starboard, slick fiberglass, clear plastic, and stainless steel. Looked more authentic like a real boat from yesteryear, in many ways.
But part of that is just what we're used to, so we'll have to see how it all settles in after we see the new boats and get used to them for awhile.
Joe. (Trying to keep an open mind!)

Joe - that reminds me of one of my famous quotes, when someone claims to have an open mind about a controversial subject.

Let's see, all the Catalinas I owned had molded interiors. I thought they were great, and hoped for one in journey on. Each piece is now screwed together, etc, etc, and I'm not thrilled. Anyway, if you're going to build a high volume production boat, you're going to go with a molded interior. And my experience with them has been good.
Also,I'm not one who likes teak ON THE OUTSIDE, it's all I can do to keep the !@#$ boat polished (once per year?) and I appreciate SS hand rails on the outside. I've had teake rails and I never did them properly.
Heere's for the changes C-Dory has made.

Boris-
I didn't appreciae having to do the teak handrails at first, either. The cleaners and teak oil were always a PITA!
But then one year I took 'em off, sanded them all down to bare wood, and put about 7-9 coats of clear linear polyurethane on them.
They look like they've been diped in resin, and haven's needed any more care since, and it's been at least 5 years.
Glad I did it right, for once!
Joe. |
