Just wondered how many C Brats spent New Years on their CDs. After the Christmas 'Holidays' over which we mostly cleaned, cooked, stepped and fetched for our family of 7 grandkids and their parental units :smilep , we decided to rest our minds and renew our spirits by hanging out on C Eagle...

Jeff and Cathy, What exciting news to have lakefront property on the beautiful Cumberland. Jeff- I hope that you are doing well and that we get to see you guys soon. Congratulations, take care and have a happy 2009. :lol: :lol:

Sorry it has taken me so long to respond to your questions and comments; I have been overcome by events at work. Thanks for the great mixture of zany, hilarious, and thoughtful responses. I woke the wife up laughing at some of these when I first read them. To clarify a bit; we set out to make a...

Hot Tub Material List

Black Crested Duck - unusual duck for this area.

Recently, my bride said that she wanted a tub to take a hot bath when aboard C Eagle. Naturally, I always do what Im told, so I evaluated several design alternatives (most of them expensive ). In keeping with Bill and El’s KISS principle, I finally came up with a solution that needed no AC...

Hot Water Test Data (Prelim.) was taken to test the heating effectiveness of the exchanger and recirculation pump. The graph plots the approximate temperature of the water in the tub over time in minutes. The water in the tub and in the boiler was initially 56 degrees F. At 25 minutes, 1 gallon...

The 36 in. collapsible tub is stowed either against the starboard cockpit gunnel behind a chair or stood up in the motor well. The spring frame tub collapses to a thickness of only 2 inches and sets up quickly using the 4 fiberglass side support rods stowed on the bottom as shown.

An ordinary garden hose coupling and cutoff valve is plumbed into the collapsible tub drain. The hose empties into the mid ships bilge and 1100 gph bilge pump empties the water overboard.

Pump and Return hoses - Bilge pump transfers water in the tub to the heat exchanger on the Wallas.

Hot Tub before filling - Return hose from the heat exchanger is terminated by a hose nozzle or a shower head. The hose nozzle is left open while water is recirculating.

Heat Exchanger is constructed using 25 ft of 3/8 copper tubing coils. The coils are submerged in a pot of water which is heated on the Wallas. THe water hoses are attached to the coil using quick connect fittings. Hoses are stowed out of sight behind the starboard seat cushion for quick deployment.

Byrdman, We are enjoying tracking your trek out to Washington; reminds me of Clark Griswold planning the vacation to Wally World on the Apple 2 using a packman route indicator......... I noted that unlike Clark, you do not stop for anything, much less side trips to see the worlds largest ball...

Wow!!!! Thanks to all who have responded........ I'm glad I asked the question and am impressed with the amount of time C Dory owners spend on their boats. Bill and El, of course, have a record that no one will ever approach but for the rest of us, it is clear to me that as a brand, the CD...

I was just wandering as I was looking through my log for 08, how many days C Brats spend on their boats in a year. To my surprise, I discovered that we have spent 61 days so far; about 90% were sleep-aboard. When I retire, maybe we will just live on our CD. Spent 4 days last week enjoying the...
