Here are some previous discussions: towers Towers II Towers III Of course, the most famous is: Seriously, read the threads. There are some very good cautions offered by some very knowledgeable people.

Marty, you're asking a guy with more solar lentigines than hair follicles. To be honest, I don't have a clue. I just thought it sounded kinda hip, or something. I'm just guessing, but I think it might be an acronym: Trifling Witless Erratic Electronic Transmissions.

Absolutely! But an extremely hard row to hoe. Both the U.S. Senate and the electoral college are anti-majoritarian institutions that were probably necessary for the unification of slave states, non-slave states, large states, small states, industrial states and agrarian states into one...

No argument here. As I said "When in power, each side seeks to create as MANY "safe" districts for their candidates as they can." Getting as many safe districts as you can necessitates cutting the margin as close as you safely can in each district. As you noted, part of the game is handing the...

I agree. Very good points. One big reason that primaries have become so polarizing for both parties is the gerrymandering of electoral districts. When in power, each side seeks to create as many "safe" districts for their candidates as they can. If you are running as a D candidate in a...

That was exhilarating! Thanks for posting.

When KARMA (the spiritual principle of cause and effect where the intent and actions of an individual influence the future of that individual) meets IRONY (the full significance of a character's words or actions are clear to the audience or reader although unknown to the character) you get...

From Doug at Scan Marine: ". . . Wallas builds two different lines of marine products, kerosene products and diesel products. All diesel products have a "D" in their name (as in "30D"). The kerosene line is comprised of products that are older in design, since Wallas started making kerosene...

You need to know which model of stove it is. Some are diesel. Some are kerosene. You do NOT want to put the wrong fuel in the stove. A quick search will show you some of the many threads here about this issue.

Oh, Man, ain't that the truth! Among other improvements apparently brought on by the latest update is this new "feature": I now have to hit the refresh button every time I visit the C-Brats site, otherwise the pages are incompletely formatted, making it difficult to follow text or distinguish...

My 23 also had two 30 gallon tanks. I purposely ran each of them dry. They each took about 27.5 gallons to fill. For long range planning purposes I always just assumed 55 gallons of usable fuel. The tank needle gauges are often problematic. Mine was unreliable, but my Yamaha fuel usage...

I had twin Yamaha F70's on my 23 Venture with Permatrims, and no tabs. Worked great. Can't comment on a single, but with twin engines and Permatrims I never found my self wishing I had tabs. I doubt that the 2 or 3 degrees more deadrise at the stern on the Venture obviates the desirability of...

Cape Cruiser made two models: the 23 Venture and the 26 Marinaut. Both were Toland designs. The molds for both of those went to C-Dory when Cape Cruiser was put out of business as the result of a lawsuit. The current C-Dory builder calls both models Venture. I don't know if it was part of...

At least in the Washington portion of the shadow, "city" may be a bit of a stretch. However, the area between Port Angeles and Port Townsend is turning into one long development. At least half of the cities/towns (villages?) in the shadow are on islands. If money is no object, you may still...

I am old enough to have recited the Pledge in school before the words "Under God" were inserted. It is important to note, however, that the original Pledge did not say "Not under God." It was silent on the subject. It left the question of God's participation in the life of the country up to...

The Tip Jar is on the C-Brats home page. Left hand side, about half way down. (Often just below whatever ad is playing at the moment). Excellent reminder.

. . . Agree 100%. Call them.

Kathi, Exuse the initial picture-only response above. I had to jump and run suddenly as I was posting. Here's a little more info. The dinghy was an Alaska Series 220TDS tender with Grizzly Claw protection on the undersides of the tubes. The boat was 7'3" long, and weighed around 50 lbs...

Welcome to a great place! As you have no doubt begun to discover, you can find just about anything you need to know about boating in general, and C- Dories in particular, discussed (sometimes ad nauseum :lol: ) on this forum. I did not buy my first boat, a C-Dory 16, until I was nearing 60...
