Not sure how to "do" this but wanted to advise that my C-Dory 22 'C-Nile' has been sold today to an appreciative older couple from down by Castine, Maine. Thanks so much for the pleasant & very informative 8-year association with this C-Brats site !!! Best, Wes Shaw

Thanks for your help. Have done that just now. Best, Wes

Thanks very much. I had already posted the new price of $24,000 below my listing... Am guessing the Moderator will catch this and change it in the ad...?

I'm trying to change my asking price for my '91 22' C-Dory in the listing. I believe I have to, somehow, "reach" the Moderator to do this but I can't seem to find out how... Help will be much appreciated! Thank you, Wes Shaw

Thanks for your kind note Jason and she is a beautiful and LOADED boat! As to the health.... No real hope there as I'm in Congestive heart failure, end-stage cardiomyopathy and A-fib... Not much time left ( : >

1991 22' C-Dory Cruiser with new Yamaha 90 & Mercury 8, $24,000 - Winter Harbor, Maine At the age of 75 pressing health issues are forcing me to quickly sell this beautiful boat that is absolutely LOADED and with no ‘hidden’ problems. I would sell “C-Nile” to my best friend. Length...

I own 7 or 8 Garmins (3 hand-helds and the rest fixed) and the DeLorme Earthmate PN 20 handheld. It is by far the best and most accurate of them all. The charting/mapping software is superior, satellite view excellent, and it is extremely user friendly... Waterproof/resistant I take it with...

Thank you for the Nash pic.... It does bring back many memories from the 50's. His car before the Nash was a LaSalle with the running boards and rumble seat I sat wrapped in many a time... After the straight-8 block cracked when the old antifreeze went dead he gave it to me but I foolishly...

Reading these reminded me of back in the 50's when I was talking a 'girl' to the Junior prom. She had on a pretty dress with all those hoops etc. and was nervous about riding in the cab of my 1939 Ford pick-up. Sooooooooo, I asked my Dad if I could just possible use his Nash (one of the ones...

Hello Charlie.... Nice to hear from you and I've spent many a blissfull night at Roque Island back in my 'younger' sail/cruising days. Would enjoy getting together when you're here this fall and sharing C-Dory stories, etc.... There's another 22 in South Gouldsboro within 6 miles of my spot...

Just visiting the site for first time a a while and wondered if there'd been any discussions of a Downeast gathering, etc., this summer??? (I'm located in Winter Harbor — just east of Mt. Desert Island...). Thanks, Wes

Dear Lloyds... Totally agree with you re. the 'sweet spot' on back of second stern wave and had to chuckle when you mention the rope burns.... I always take a turn around a stern cleat or post and pay her out slowly... I bring her in a bit, if necessary, by milking the standing portion...

Prfofessional Hobyist: Regarding the "fixed" tow method, I'd strongly recommend against it for reasons cited in the other responses AND, especially, the importance of having both vessel and dinghy/skiff/towed boat ride in SYNC with the swells—especially when running downwind in heavy swells...

Thanks Steve... That was/is my plan but can't attempt it yet until about 4 solid inches of ice and 2 feet of compressed snow melt.... ( : >) Wes
