    Looking for the former owner of 2nd Byte Fairbanks

    I don't know that I make great :beer but I try to make enough!!! I make the Pretty pipers lager and the raspberry wheat for the wife, both modified of course. I add some corn sugar so I am violating that German law reinhiest---something or other, :roll: never did follow very well. When I...

    Looking for the former owner of 2nd Byte Fairbanks

    I've heard there are at least 4 C-Dory's in town or just up the road. Wade - this is no mere superstition - especially if you want to come back from that trip you are talking about and not be "Lost@C" - do the De-naming Ceremony and a proper christening! And the is an ESSENTIAL part, not just...

    Looking for the former owner of 2nd Byte Fairbanks

    I bought the former 2nd byte today and wanted a little history. Seems like a nice boat. I have yet to put my first mile in a C-Dory but can't wait. The boat is now called Hook Tender but I was thinking of changing the name, again. Is that some sort of bad Mo-Jo. Do I have to bark at the...

    22 cruiser Seattle to homer AK?

    Thanks for the support Mr. Fox sir!! I like a little crazieness, it is like pepper for life. With out it why bother. The trick is knowing how much to add. The Kodiak trip looks like fun but I probably shouldn't mention that here. :P I promise to keep it parked in the drive! I promise to keep...

    22 cruiser Seattle to homer AK?

    Don't get all worked up! I don't know where you read I was going to try it. What I said was that I READ elsewhere on the net that it had been done. I thought there might be a good harrowing tale. As long as my boat will fit on a trailer and there is a road around something like that, I...

    C-Dory historians?

    I looked at the neighbors 1981 C-Dory 22 today (thanks) and the bottom was FLAT! It had wooden keel boards. I looked at a new one yesterday and don't remember it being absolutly flat, I thought it had a transitional area up front where the sides rolled under to form the bottom and had more of a...

    22 cruiser Seattle to homer AK?

    I did the math and with some planning it would be possible. When you were almost to the 1/2 way point and a storm kicked up, might just make you nervous!! :shock: I just wondered if some of the folks mentioned elsewhere were on this board. wade

    22 cruiser Seattle to homer AK?

    I have been clicking around C-D wise and saw it mentioned that 4 C-D 22's have made the trip from seattle to Homer, in the water . Has anybody heard of or done such a thing? That Cordova to Haines section looks a little open, exposed and desolate. wade

    Trip up the Alcan (Alaska Canadian) highway pics now posted.

    That trip is sure fun! Never did stop at the hot springs. :cry: We did the trip7 times in 03-04, that is 3.5 round trips from S.C. to Seward and not a one in the summer, my knuckles are still white! We did 3 with a 12,000 lb trailer at 11,999 lbs or a smidg more, all with a camper on top. One...

    25 cruiser fuel consumption?

    Assuming the 3-4 mpg figure is accurate there is basically no fuel cost saving in running a 22 over a 25, give or take the small stuff. I understand all hull shapes have their own eccentricities and that long and narrow slides along better, but I thought the added weight would incur some...

    25 cruiser fuel consumption?

    Thanks for the link. I had read that one, but I'm a bit of a sceptic about stuff from the manufacturer :wink I wanted info from real people who load them up with ALL the junk we all carry. Help me out here I'm no mathmatician. To get MPG you take speed and divide by GPH right or wrong? In...

    25 cruiser fuel consumption?

    Hello All I've got the bug! I was wondering about fuel consumption on the 25. It isn't listed on the factory web site, but the weight is, and it seems to have packed on quite a few more pounds than the 22. I would appreciate some of your wisdom on this matter. Just round # will do, specifics...
