I am a volunteer with RCMSAR and work with these fine gentlemen

This would be a welcome sight if one is in trouble on the water!

My buddies from RCMSAR Station 8 coming to "rescue" us. We are at anchor in Montague Harbor.

RCMSAR 8 arrival

I used the Imtra 4000 ones as well. I had some balsa rot around some of the old screw holes, caused by poor sealing from the factory so I had to auger that out and at the same time added some plywood shims to fill in the gap, then glassed. They are a close fit on the 23, any larger and they...

When I replaced mine (same 06 Cape Cruiser), I don't think these were available, so I replaced the originals with the Imtra model. I had to glass in some shims, etc. but it turned out nice, and the lazarettes are now dry. Yay! These Bomars look a lot like the Imtras, with the top of the lid...

Bringing this post back up to ask about the status of the 2024 calendar. We missed having one for 2023..... Chris

My wife's nephew with his first ever fish!

I have this King trailer, not sure of the model as the plate has long been obliterated. I assume this is the 102" (I haven't measured), because the boat sits between the fenders. This trailer fits the boat perfectly, easy to launch and retrieve, offers a step on top of the fenders to easily get...

I looked for pictures also, yours are the first I have seen that are similar to what mine looks like. I will try and take a couple of pics and will post them on this thread. It does feel like very tough material. Apologies for the misunderstanding, the pics seem to show the inspection hole...

I have a 2006 Cape Cruiser, so we have the same boat. I had water under the cabin floor and so I cut an inspection port close to the cabin door. I was stunned to see some sort of purple-red material that was cracked and had water in the cracks, similar to what you see - only yours appears to be...

Welcome Peter! Nice to have another Canadian C-Brat! Finding a C-Dory in Western Canada for sale is pretty rare, and Grand Prairie of all places! :D We are in Tsawwassen and do boat and fish (when fishing is open ..... :sad ) around the Nanaimo area at times. (Thrasher Rock). We also...

My solution to this was to find a local fabricator to make one. It took a little digging, but I was able to find a local guy who does stainless steel work. It turned out pretty good for about $1200 CDN. Chris (from across the pond)

Or, there is also one of these inexpensive units covered in this thread here: http://www.c-brats.com/viewtopic.php?t=22406 Chris

Here's one for priorities: Our New Rods Catch Fish So Purchase Some Pecking Order: Overtaken, Not Under Command, Restricted Ability to Manuever, Constrained by Draft, Engaged in Fishing, Sailing, Power, Sea Plane

This was such an informative and entertaining thread back in 2009, I thought I would bring it to the top again. I am trying to learn the COLREGS and their associated rule numbers, and in looking for ways to remember them I try to learn mnemonics or sayings. "Red right return" for example when...

What a bizarre story! Here's another link to it.. https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/british-columbia/goonies-arrest-coast-guard-1.6737215 Apparently the "mariner" is from our local waters (Victoria)..and stole the boat.. Chris

For sure, I don't care for the existing plastic one.. I think Bob may have meant that the antenna comes with a short adapter cable to go from the bottom antenna connector (PL259?) to a small UHF connector. Then, all I need to solder is a new UHF connector on the cable that I feed through the...

Thanks Brats! Does it come with a cable/lead? It looks like it has a connector on the bottom for a cable? I find the world of RF connectors often confusing... :? If I need to order a cable as well, and it has connectors on both ends, would it still be possible to run the cable through the...
