We have a nice canopy from King Marine Canvas but find it impossible to snap it to the sides while in the boat. Does anyone have any tricks to attaching snaps from inside the cockpit?

Now that the boat is on its trailer for the winter I wanted to pass on notes to for those interested in converting to electric propulsion. 1. The four 48V 100AH batteries (in two banks) are charged by a 20A charger I placed in the "shelf" in the cockpit. I have found that chargers in a boat...

I see that some folks post pictures into the text rather than the album. How does one do that? I have been unable to copy and paste into the text. I have tried to copy directly into text as well as push the IMG button... but nothing happens. Also, now I have tried to add pictures to my...

I am curious about how many C-dories have been built. Does anyone have any statistics? I am especially interested in learning how many have been built since NMI took over the molds. In looking over the long list of members with C-dories I could not find more than a dozen or so whose boats...

The summer is pretty much over for us and I have put WATT NOW "to bed" for the winter on its trailer. We spent a total 19 days on the water this summer of which 11 days were overnight. This has given me a good idea on how much electricity I use under a variety of conditions. With just my wife...

I use the port berth in the main cabin daily and got tired of having to lift the table using the pedestal provided by NMI. I had to crawl under the table and lift it with my back so I could tighten the knob properly. After a long search on the web I found a powered pedestal that was the right...

I was unable to find any pictures of folks who have installed curtains in the 22.  Since we will be living in the cabin we definitely need some protection over the windows while we sleep and to keep the marina lights from shining in.  I tried some curtains but found they hang down away from the...

As a scientist I like to collect data and play with numbers. Now that I have data from two electric boats (a 26 ft St. Pierre dory and my new C-Dory 22 cruiser) I want to share some comparisons between electric and gas. At 5mph my C-Dory uses 1600 watts (going with a tide of about 1/2mph) to...

What is the best covering for bunk boards on a trailer? Is it carpeting or HDPE slicks? My new trailer that came with my new C-Dory has carpeting, but I would like to know what other folks prefer. The little research I did on the web suggests carpeting is better for fiberglass bottoms because...

I finally got all the wires hooked up correctly and was able to take our new C-Dory 22 cruiser for its first run. I was windy in Budd Inlet (15-20 mph) but we were still able to get good data on performance. At 5mph we were using 1600 watts, so at that speed I would have a range of about 45-50...

Bob with Thataway has asked me, on another thread, for some cost numbers for the electric conversion I am doing on a C-Dory 22 cruiser. Since this has nothing to do fixing balsa core, I decided to start a new topic. My initial estimate is that the cruising weight of the 22 ft cruiser will be...

I now have posted two pictures on the C-Dory being built for me (can be viewed under my name since I don't have an official name for the boat yet). These were taken when the top and bottom were put together three weeks ago. The completion date for the boat is now towards the end of March. I...

Hello everyone, I just want to introduce myself. I have commissioned a C-Dory 22 cruiser from NMI in Bellingham. I will be powering this boat with two electric E-propulsion Navy 3.0 motors. I am not a speed freak and will be cruising at hull speed. With 48 V 400 AH I expect a range of about...
