Hello All, Jim does an amazing job of putting this event together in such a seamless way that you can't help but to have a great, one of a kind experience... Sign us up! :D We just blocked off our respective work schedules for fun on the boat... gosh I love doing that! I might have to drag...

The lockset assembly on my 2006 22' CD has been troublesome for the last year or so. Can lock it and it won't unlock. Took it apart, cleaned it, worked for awhile but it locked me out! again! :( No name on parts. Will try to post photo. Any ideas where to get a (better) replacement. Perko...

Hello Marty, Laurie and I are looking at your thread with great interest as we plan to cruise up in the San Juans next summer. We live on the SF Bay and have only visited up north on the big ferries. I really like the Pub Crawl Cruise. :beer Who knows maybe we will try to get some sort of a...

I love my 12 volt vacume (I happen to have a Dirt Devil but cheaper ones are out there) ! Cleaning up spilled Cheerios or whatever, getting those crazy little corners and inaccessible areas debris free- the vacuum is the deal! After that little electrical project and all those little pieces...

Laurie and I had such a great time! :D Thank you to all who had a hand in making the Delta and Bay Extravaganza such a success. A special thanks to Jim and Cathy who must have worked like dogs to make it all come together in such a seemingly effortless event. It was nice to have met you all and...

I don't know about you veterans of this extravaganza but we are pretty darn exited! :D Sea Queen is getting a little extra attention; she is on her trailer, oil change, topping off batteries, securing items, making lists and checkin 'em twice. I'm having a hard time focusing on that four...

I am glad I read this thread and have trim tabs with no zincs :shock: . I have not observed any corrosion... yet. I will be adding the zincs ASAP. We purchased our boat with worn/ half removed bottom paint and was hesitant to buy it because of it. I really did not want bottom paint (some...

Bill and El, We have never met, never spoke but you two have influenced my wife and I in a positive way. We read about your adventures and truly enjoyed your insights and observations. You sent us a note congratulating us when we finally purchased our C-Dory. We were both impressed and honored...

I’ve been trying to restrain myself but I just have to jump in the mighty murky twins Vs singles debate. :P I’ve read quite a few of the posts (not all million and one) on the subject before I purchased and could have gone either way depending on the conditon and price of the boat. That being...

Laurie and I are really looking forward to meeting some new friends and seeing other C-Dorys in action! I will be putting a check, CF# and boat name in the mail Monday. We have put quite a few hours trying to come up with a great boat name for our little 22 CD and after going around in circles...

Sounds like the voice of experience... :wink Great advice. Like others say keeping it light is always a good idea when practical.

I like the idea, thanks for sharing.

1975 18' tri hull bought $2000 sold $2000 1975 22' sailboat "free" $1500 (parts/ sails) sold $1200. Various used kayaks, canoes, homebuild pram, etc. 1971 15' Sidewinder (100hp) bought 2300. Still going fast enough for me! 2006 C Dory Cruiser $40K... hope to hold on to it for years to come. I...

Just out fishing last night with my wife, she never, never, would have been with me if we did not have heat. Yes, it does get cold on the SF Bay at night! We've used our boat a lot since we purchased last June - granted not much of a long term test. We figured out the battery needs to be tip/...

Hello All, Laurie and I are new owners of a 2006 cruiser and would love to join you all!. We just now saw that sign-ups (ok one) may be still available and we will gladly take a spot. Let us know if that works out. Hope to meet some of the folks we have only seen posts here on this site. BTW We...

Thanks to all for your input. My job has just been crazy busy lately and have not had time to do important stuff like play on this website and work on the boat. My bilge is near the cabin door, step over it to enter cabin. The bilge well is maybe 5-6 inches deep and is flush with the cockpit...

What are the cables covered / sheathed in? Also after the cables exit the bulkhead/ under the door are the cables simply routed across the cockpit floor (under fiberglass panel floor)? Mine currently are. Thanks SleepyC for the reply. :)

It appears a previous owner of my 2006 22' cruiser with Honda twin 50s thought that the reason for stiff throttles was improper cable routing. So... to "straighten out" the cables they were run through the cabin near door then holes were drilled near the bottom of the bilge to accomodate a...

HAPPY THANKSGIVING! To my newest family, C-brats! We truly feel blessed for all of the abundence that we enjoy, the health to enjoy it and the means to get out on the water. PS: I am also thankful for being able to access this great website that helps me to a more active, informed and safer...

We have a 2007 Ford F-150 2 wheel drive with the 4.6 V8. Towing our 22 cruiser on dual axle Pacific trailer on the freeway we get about 12-13 mpg. I tend to set cruise control for about 62 mph (yes, I know 55 is limit but would get run over by big rigs) on the flats. Mileage will get worse on...
