I am researching my anchoring set-up right now. I have never used a windlass to anchor and so I am trying to decide between a freefall style vs. power down. I need to be able to run all anchoring operations from the helm. since I anticipate that I will most often be anchoring solo. I am...

I've been doing some research on which anchoring system to go with on my C-Dory 22. After looking through this site, it seems that most of the C-Dory owners are either using the 22# Bruce type anchor or the 14# Delta. I found the links below that discuss the "Max" anchor and there seems to be...

I would like to see a discussion and pictures posted about how people have set up live bait wells on their boats. Couldn't find anything here under the fishing topic. Has anybody used the factory installed box on the port side's transom? If so, how did you set up the pump and drainage? Has...

I am considering purchsing a 22' C-Dory, and have some concerns about hull permabilty and the balsa core. The boat that I am currently considering, appears to have been left in saltwater (docked or out fishing) for at least the last 1 1/2 years. I contacted the C-Dory factory with my concern...
