great job. Nice picture...I'm still trying..

I'm not real good with the computer..too old to learn... I guess. But, how does one post a snap shot with a post or reply on this sight? Anyone willing to share that with me? Some of you share some really great pictures. thanks

Jim My experiences with sailing has reinforced my notion that cruising in CD like you and Joan do is the only way to go. Tow the boat to the location you want to explore and away you go. Gizmo is a great little boat and I don't mind one bit keeping her for my needs. I'll just adjust my needs. :D...

Jim We sailed a Lafeat (?) 44 designed by Bob Perry built in 1980. Many of the systems were original. Engine ( 65 horse ), auto pilot, freezer, frig, electrical, the main was new and the head sail was rolling furling. We had several head sails but used the 180 mostly. The main had two reef...

Hay Jim, You don't miss a thing :) Yes, I am home for the Holidays. We sailed out of San Francisco into high surf warnings and gale force winds Oct. 20th. Very rough for the first three days. Boat sailed great. Got to San Diego and the transmission bit the dust. We were late to depart with the...

Going to pick up Gizmo from CYA in Ventura. No sale so far. CYA is letting me out of my contract early. If interested call me at 530 412 1513.

A very good name for a fishing boat might be "FINE LINES"

Myself and others are looking at C-Dorys under the for sale by owner topic. Dorys are moving on and off that list. Many of the boats have been sold and not removed from the list. Please, if you have sold or decided not to sell would you remove the Dory or Toland from the list. Thanks

I called my 16'er GIZMO. So, you might not like my suggestion for a boat name. BUT, the other day we were putting a new main sail on a 44'er. I told the skipper he should name a boat " NEW SHOES" :D

Reading your coms make me feel like I am going to miss a great C-Brat weekend. :( Last year was my first and it was great from beginning to end. I leave home on Sunday for Mexico. :D Sailing under the Golden Gate on a 44'er to depart on the Baja Ha ha Oct.29th. We will hang at Catalina for a...

Batteries should be mounted under the port seat with a switch, 1 batt. 2 batt. all or off positions. Cabela's sells a auxiliary motor bracket FH-01-7511-001 and a transom adapter. This set up will allow you to remove the motor mount and motor without tools. Gizmo is for sale. Has everything you...

Kicker removable bracket but no motor. Full camper back cover. Mooring cover. Lowrance 520 gps and sonar and a VHF. Dock lines, fenders anchor and line, 2 extra yamaha 6 gal fuel tanks. Send me a direct mail and I'll send pics. chacegrover@prodigy.net

I'd buy GIZMO for less than a new C-Dory 16. Gizmo has all options and canvas. Two batteries, fuel water separator 14 gal. tank. Trailer has spare and side rails, 50 horse yamaha and permatrim.

Gizmo, a 16'er has a 14 gal fuel tank under the sturn in front of the builge pump. I can carrry two Yahmaha 6 gal tanks under the forward bunk shelf. I move those tanks around for balast. Works great. I can leave them off the boat if necessary. 26 gal gives me around 200 miles range. :D

Last June I towed my 16'er to Prince Ruppert BC and put the boat and tow vehicle on a ferry to Alaska. The ferry wanted the dimensions on the complete set up. I measured just under 7.5' high and just under 20' on the trailer. I think you'll be safe :) That 20' is with the engine up. Like out of...

I see you this weekend. I'll be at Loch Lomond on Thursday night. We are getting a 44' sail boat ready for the Baja Haha. Plan to sail out of Loch Lomond Oct. 15. I think I've seen your boat in the slip before. My phone is 530 412-1513. Call if you like.. Thanks

Why are you selling? Where in San Rafael is the dory? I live at North Tahoe and will be at Lock Loman Harbor on Thurs. afternoon. I'd like to look at the boat this weekend.

Use a plumb bob to find your stright down angle. Then go off that line at a ninty.

I'm sailing out of San Francisco Bay Oct.15 to be at Cabo around Nov. 15. From there we are going to mainland and check out the weather for a couple of months. I'll let you guys know. Then next Fall we can get a C-Dory Baha Cruise together.

Jim My retired life could be boring if I couldn't drop by the computer several times a day and catch up on your adventures. I'm right now without a boat. :( Selling every toy Pat will let me to come up with eigher a 19' or 22' cruiser. Lake Tahoe is beautiful this time of year. Don't ask me how...
