    VHF antenna advice

    I would upgrade to a stainless ratchet mount. My first boat had a plastic one it broke - mind you I had grabbed the antenna in a last ditch effort to stop myself from going swimming fully clothed. Coming to the dock I tried to grab it sitting on the gunwale but reached too far and ended up...

    Ad changes coming

    Just keep doing whatever is necessary to keep the doors open! We thank you. Congrats on that other new thing thats on its way that we aren't talking about yet! When you had your Nordic Tug for sale I think I bought a couple extra lottery tickets! It was a beautiful boat and you had done a lot...

    When to put the chart plotter inside the microwave oven

    That would be a convenient solution but too much power and too heavy for my small boat. I do carry a small metal box to use as a Faraday case that will hold my chartplotter and VHF but hope to never need them. Been on the boat during a few storms and twice when tornadoes touched down close by...

    C-Dory's at Vancouver Boat Show

    No need for sorry's Chris - made my day seeing this post! I'm just curious where they put the 60gal fuel tank. By the way if you are on the website for this dealer check out the Rossiter boats they sell. I have seen them many times at the shows around here as they are built in Ontario. Not a...

    C-Dory's at Vancouver Boat Show

    Bill - my bad I was assuming the build sheet was referencing the boat pictured above it. A closer look shows one had a 140 Suzuki and the other a 150 Yamaha - that may account for some of the price difference. Re. the drooling - yes they would have had to detail and sanitize it if I had been...

    C-Dory's at Vancouver Boat Show

    WOW - very impressive! If I was there my wife would have to call security to have me escorted out at closing time! :mrgreen: Yes lots of $ but this is Canadian $ - US would be a lot less. It is not out of line with other current prices. Notice some new(?) improvements like a 60gal built in...

    Cabin lighting ideas

    Some have used the small LED string lights under the gunwales - red for night vision and clear ones along the roof line for when moored.

    Compass Interference

    Paul, you can swing(calibrate) your compass after it is in place and any items that may affect it have been installed. If you just bought it there should be instructions with it. Ideally it can be mounted on the boats centerline but this may make a direct line of site from the helm difficult for...

    Marina battery charging - 30A to 15A

    I am NOT an electrical expert but here are some of of my thoughts from a similar project on my boat(non Cdory). I opted for the adapter plug without the short cord attached (Marinco S30-15). Reason for this I didn't want any connections exposed to weather(rain). This adapter is covered by the...

    Four Strong Winds

    A true legend with an amazing voice - his songs told stories, stirred the soul and conjured up an image in your mind that remained with you long after the song faded. Remember listening to him back in the 60's and even today when I hear 4 strong winds can't help getting emotional. RIP Rob

    SOLD - 2005 CDory Angler 19 - FULLY UPGRADED

    Patrick, that is an exceptionally well equipped 19 - a beautiful boat at a reasonable price considering all the new upgrades. Don't think I've ever seen a 19 with a tandem trailer. Only 19 I've seen here to rival it would be Greg's "Ari" Good luck with the sale. Regards, Rob

    Planning a St Lawrence River Cruise

    One thing re. miles per day on the Saint Lawrence - it is a big river but the area where I was - lots of islands and some narrows to navigate. You also have to pay attention to the international border line on your plotter. I did 40 miles a day quite easily but the first trip we had a guide to...

    Planning a St Lawrence River Cruise

    I have cruised from Gananoque to Rockport on the Canadian side a few times - a few pics in my album here - http://www.c-brats.com/modules.php?set_ ... _photo.php Spent some time on the Isle de Orleans near Quebec City back in the 70's. All beautiful cruising areas. Enjoy the trip. Regards, Rob
