Just our word of thanks to Fred and Robin, and all other C-brats we met at Stuart Island. The Hospitality, friendly atmosphere, coffee, food, Campfires and new friends,....... what a great time Christina and I had connecting with you all! And we enjoyed seeing all your boats too. We aim to be...

Finally after owning our C-dory for 10 years this Stuart Island weekend will be the first C-Brat gathering for my wife Christina and I. Surely looking forward to making new friends and sharing this weekend with you. We will launch our 22 Angler from Bellingham on Friday morning. See you all...

Thanks for the replies! I will pursue the phone number next week. In case any of you have an old Canada Garmin data card available at a later date, please don't hesitate to pm me. Arend

I am 200lbs and just short of 6'-5" and have no trouble sleeping in the 22, although there is no room to spare. Getting in and out of the V-berth takes a bit of patience. My position while sitting at the helm with little to no headroom on rough seas is much more difficult to deal with than the...

My scotties came mounted on our 22 with heavy spectra braid (probably250#), which gave much more blow back than I wanted even with a 13 lbs pancake. For comparison I changed one down rigger to 150# power pro fishing line, which made a big difference when fishing deep. Now both of them have...

The footage of the Tornado looks to be the floatplane terminal close to Vancouver international airport in Richmond B.C,

My handles have a double sided adhesive black foam tape on the aft side, and on the forward side where they wrap around the glass I used a 3M urethane, probably 4200. Clear silicone should work fine here as well.

In case you decide to buy new windows: I had new side windows cut by an autoglass shop when the old ones showed weathered "milky" around the edges. Those have served me well now for seven years. If you bring them your current windows they can copy them. Then Purchase the fuzzy seals from...

I did 7 trips to Hakai Pass area in the last 3 years, during August. Hakai is about 30Nm south of Bella Bella. My Wife and I love the scenery, good fishing and generally quiet weather up there. We cross Queen Charlotte sound from Port Hardy with sufficient Ice and Fuel to last 5 days. Hakai...

When we are anchored for Halibut 250ft deep out on the Westcoast, I use 2.5mm diameter monofilament line with a 850 lbs rating. Even when subjected to large swells, wind and waves it has never broken the line. The 700-800 feet of line does stretch quite a bit when the boat gets pulled "uphill"...

Hobie will also be remembered by the RC sailplane community for his very unique design of the "Hobie Hawk". As a teenager I was intrigued by the looks of the curved dihedral wings.

70 C batteries are now available. They are truly amazing. http://www.thunderpowerrc.com/Products/ ... 850-3SPF70 this battery will easily give 200 amps at 12.6V I use this type in my RC model pylon racer ad RC electric gliders. These have extreme high power to weight ratio. If they are...

Last year before I ran up from Port Hardy to Hakai pass with our 22 Angler I was also wondering how much weight a 22 could handle. We were loaded just over 100 gallons of gas. 2 x 165qt and 1 smaller cooler full of chipped ice, three down rigger balls three people, food water and gear for a...

A 2000 Chevy Astro Van is what I use, and It pulls the boat just fine all the way to Port Hardy for the last three years. larger pickups and SUV's will tow it easier and more comfortable, but the Astro does the job. The rear suspension on these vans do benefit from airbags or heavier leaf...
