I'm with Dr Bob. Martin.

Looks to be a good swivel. Certainly one of the better one's I have seen. Martin.

Talking about a swivel between the anchor and the chain. A surveyor was doing his inspection on a boat I was buying and noted the swivel attached between the anchor and the chain. He said this was the wrong set-up and had seen many failed swivels bent out of shape that led to the chain and the...

Guidelines I have read state, "Minimum length of anchor chain should be one and a half times the length of the boat". When I replaced my chain which came with the boat purchase, I went with 50ft of 3/8" high test. Make sure you also change the shackle to high test. Martin.

The perfect piece of equipment for that job is a in home steam cleaner. About the size of a small watering can. If you lived nearer to me you could have bought mine for $15 Cad. Look on Craigslist Comox Valley, BC. for a pic of what they look like. Martin.

Recommendations for length of chain is one and half times the length of the boat minimum. So for a 22 C-Dory it is 33ft. Most folks go with around 50ft in length or a bit more. Martin.

If you can not get your hands on yeast, make Soda Bread. Only 4 or 5 ingredients required (which you probably already have in your cupboard). Google making Soda Bread and watch the short video. It's a piece of cake. Oops, I meant bread. Martin.

Yep, at my age we are changing our life plans. We live by our motto, "Adventure before Dementia". First sold was our C-Dory. Now our Camano Troll is for sale, under 100k CAD. If you want to move up to more luxury but do not want to give up fuel economy, this may be an option to...

I agree. When the wife has reservations about a boat (any boat) you had better listen. Your whole boating future is at stake here. My wife said "enough is enough, I'm not going on the C-Dory again". Change the boat for more comfort or I'm done. I have always thought, the C-Dory 22 is a great...

Check out last 4 pics in Nomad mods album. It may help. Martin.

If you look at my pic albums, pull up Texada/Lund/Savary, pic #5 I think. Not the best looking photo of the kicker, but the best I have. I made a bracket for the kicker and it is mounted inboard on the stbd side, just aft of the cabin bulkhead. My original plan was to make a template out of...

100 years ago the Spanish Flu killed 50 million people around the world. Should we change the name now that some people feel it is not PC? In fact the flu did not even originate in Spain. Martin. PS. What has this thread got to do with \hunkering down' ?

Just wondering. Did anyone load up their boat with provisions and head off to remote, peace and quiet? Or is that now outlawed with the 'stay at home' directive? Martin.

Has the USA governmemt put a limit on the number of people who can meet socially? Martin.

Load up the boat and head into Desolation or the Broughtons for a few weeks. If you run out of toilet paper, take a swim. Martin.

My 2009 22 had twin 40hp Yamahas. If I was repowering I would be looking at twin 50hp Yamahas or 60hp Yamahas. Cost and weight would probably dictate my decision. Martin.

Hi Harvey, Check your PM inbox. Martin.

Reading all these posts, I would pack a couple of pairs of Depends as well.

We were there, I think it was 2014 when we had 52 boats. Our great turn outs only get equalled by Ranger Tugs. The C-Dory is certainly a brand and its loyal followers to be proud of. The only downside with so many boats in attendance is getting around to chat with everyone in such a short time...

Waterproof?
