    Hard Times Hit Lake Erie Boating

    Nick ~ I just returned from Oriental, NC today (east coast of NC). I heard from several folks that business is DOWN this year. Even the tiki deck is noticing a decline in business. I walked to the harbor last Friday afternoon. First thing I asked was "Where is everyone?". Normally the harbor is...

    Tie Bar?

    I just visited Ezsteer's website and sent them an email. Perhaps this solution will work for me. Next I will need to find out how complicated and expen$ive it is to get dual controls at the helm to take full advantage of the motor. Currently I can only control the 9.9 from the cockpit (tiller...

    BVI?

    A question out of curiosity... Has anyone ever visited the BVI in a C-Dory? I sailed there last year. Saw a lot of sailboats from PA, etc. Every time I saw a sailboat from the east coast I wondered if anyone ever took a C-Dory there. Thanks!

    Tie Bar?

    I apologize in advance; I am certain this topic has been addressed many times. My CD-22 has a Honda 90 and a Honda 9.9 kicker. I am looking for opinions on what the best tie bar is between these two motors. I am told that if I use a tie bar both motors have to be "down". It seems to me that...

    Survey, yes or no?

    You might want to check with your insurance company as well. Years ago when I bought my first sailboat (used) State Farm demanded a survey. I only paid a couple thousand for the boat and had no intention of paying for a survey. I switched to Nationwide. No survey required.

    Corrosion block

    Colobear's description of WD-40 is correct. It is a solvent, not a lubricant. Even though it does a heck of a job at eliminating squeaks! I drove tractor-trailer for UPS for many years. If any of us got grease on our clothes the first thing we did was spray them with WD-40! Great solvent. :D

    09/26 - 09/28 - NC Gathering

    You're right Tracy! Whittaker Creek is NOT the same place as Whittaker Pointe. I am in Oriental now, planning to head back to PA on Monday (June 23rd). Taking my C-Dory back to PA for a few months, but will be back in Oriental for the gathering.

    Tow Vehicle Observation

    Joel? Trade him trucks. I drove an F-350 with the International 7.3 engine for 5 years and traded it last sumer. I was able to tow my C-Dory back & forth from PA to NC and get 20 mpg (no speeding). Last summer I traded the Ford on a 2007 Dodge because I wanted to try the Cummins engine (drove...

    Poling Platform?

    I know it is called a poling platform, although I believe it would also make a great fishing platform. Another thought is that with proper "rails" around it I could tie a cooler or 2 on it. I imagine there are places that custom build them, so I was hoping someone here had one & could show me...

    C-Dory Sightings

    Not sure if this counts but... I went to Mobile East Marine yesterday to BS with Gene a bit. Saw Hunky Dory sitting there. Kind of smiled when I saw it, made me think of the C-Brats! :D:D:D

    Poling Platform?

    I did a search but may not have done it properly... Does anyone have a poling platform on their 22? I am thinking it would be a wonderful addition, especially if it has hand rails all the way around. Not only would it make a wonderful fishing platform, it would also allow more storage space...

    Cost of a slip

    I own a 30 foot slip in Piney Narrows Yacht Haven on Kent Island (Chesapeake). It rents for just over $3200.00 per year. That price includes cable TV, dockside water, winter bubbling, showers, laundry facility, swimming pool, club lounge, and bar-b-q grills. The marina has perimeter fencing...

    C-Dory Sightings

    Passed Pandy Girl heading north in I-95 this afternoon. I was heading south. Made me think of the gathering at the Chesapeake. Won't make it this year, I was on my way to Oriental, NC for 2 or 3 weeks of R&R when I passed Pandy Girl. Seeing Pandy Girl DID make me smile though! :)

    Cockpit Helm

    I bought my C-Dory 22 new in 2006. Because of total confusion on my part I gave up on having a second helm installed in the cockpit using the factory pedestal. Sooo... Does the factory still offer the pedestal, and how complicated is it to install & configure? I have a Honda 90 that is...

    Congratulations Jim! You will enjoy your C-Dory. Oh, the best part is spending forever adding the equipment that makes it YOUR boat! Al

    Window Track?

    The sliding windows on my CD 22 are getting more & more difficult to open & close. What do you folks recommend to "lubricate" the tracks? Al
