Hi Folks, SOUNDINGS is one of the BEST out there. I also read MESSING ABOUT IN BOATS which has a great column about all the disasters in boating worldwide. ENSIGN, the magazine for USPS is also good. All the rest seam to be catalogues for boating. Don't tell anybody, but when my wife goes...

JD, Nice job. The windless will make single handed "yachting" much easier. As you found out, if you approach the job step by step, it comes out just what you wanted. Happy sailing. Fred

Hi Folks, I have a 1983 Classic 22' C-Dory with a 15" Porti-potti in the V-berth. It works great. With the older C-dory's, you can stand up, even while underway. There is also plenty of head room for sitting. When cruising with somebody else, I move the head to the cockpit for the night. I am...

Congrats. You ar in a great cruising area. You will have to join our Erie Canal cruises. Fred

Folks, The problem is the whole legal system. It is controlled by the Lawyers and their friends the Judges. The laws are made by Lawyers in our government. Years ago, I had a problem with a tenant who accused me of Assault. During the time in court when I was having her Legally thrown out of...

Hi Folks, Like most situations, the Tiger Woods problem will blow over. Why? The history of golf has been one great golfer after another. With out the great golfer, nobody will watch it on TV. No tv, no money. Watching a Golf contest is like watching paint dry. History of TV Golf has...

Bob, Thank you for the info. What I have done is gone along with what the USCGAux recommends and I carry most of it on my inflatable. The coast guard supplies an EPIRB to every coxswain. That is in a pocket on my inflatable. Also a knife, mirror and flare, I then carry in my boat extra flares...

Hi Folks, An answer to Ron and Jane. I check my inflatable all the time. I have not pulled the tab to see if the inflatable part works. When we do VE's, and a owner has an inflatable, he has to wear it and inflate it by mouth. One point if you have ever read FASINET 10, one thing that came...

Hi Folks, Just a little food-for-thought. Answer to one question. If the 22' C-Dory gets sunk, it rides stern down because the flotation is in the bow under the forward berths. In order to get out, you need a long swim down. With an inflatable inflated, it might be impossible. Was the...

Hi Folks, Sorry I missed this thread earlier. I paint the bottom of my boat, a 22' 1983 Angler every year while it sits on the trailer. I first block up the trailer. I then jack up the side of the boat placing the jack and a wooden block at the chine and put a 2 by 4 under the boat on top of...

Hi Folks, One day I crossed the Nantucket Sound in 25 Knot winds in my 22' 1983 Classic Angler. The waves were coming from my port quarter (stern). The tops were a little white, but none were breaking.. I played the waves and had no problem at all. The engine was a new 75HP 4 Stroke Yamaha. The...

Hi Tim, I am a small businessman. Here are some ideas. Most of the National banks are not making loans in the small business sector, if any where. The community banks are. Most of the banks want to have the loans secured with real estate. Here are some ideas. If you have good credit and have...

Hi Folks, This may not be of a great help, but I repowered my 1983 22' Angler Classic from a 70 HP Johnson 2 stroke to a Yamaha 75 HP 4 stroke. Pluses, quieter, more reliable, easier to handle fuel. Minuses, Do to the additional weight, I had to raise the water line 3" in the stern. It also...

Hi Folks, Here is the differences in a nut shell. Pre 1987, bottom flat with hard chine. Cabin shorter, cockpit longer. Access to forward berths wider because no bulkhead on port side. Transom not as wide because engines were 2 cycle 70 hp's( lighter). Pound in heavy seas, Centre window does...

Hi Folks, I also have a 1983 Classic Angler and one feature I love is the access to the berth area. On the last Erie Canal trip I started to sleep across ship and found it easier to get in and out of my sleeping bag and easier to get to my "stuff" which was in various bags. Also I had a much...

Hi Folks, This is a good topic. I have a 1983 Angler Classic. A few years ago, I added a 75 HP Yamaha Four Stroke engine, and had to raise the water line 3" at the stern. At Just above the water line the gel coat is getting a bit rough. I thought of putting a clear epoxy coat on the bottom...

Hi Folks, I just came back from the Erie Canal and have always felt that the MPG of my 1983 Classic is about the same as the post 1986 22' C-Dory's. The Classic (pre 1986) were all Anglers and had a larger cockpit and a smaller cabin. The access to the forward bunk area is much better. After...

Hi Folks, I put DriDek in my cockpit and under my aft seat and engine box. It allows the water to go aft ad collect in the sump. Plus that, it looks good. I have no problem walking on it barefoot. The only problem which is really not much is that in the summer, the dark green DrDek that I...

Don't blame me. I followed directions. No pictures. Fred
