A very nice design from a respected designer in the style we love. Break out your saw and plane. https://bandbyachtdesigns.com/powerboats/pilothouse-cabin/outer-banks-26/

Tyboo is setting up an album for me and when I figure out how to post photos I will. Note that posting pics is above my pay grade but we'll make it work. Very low hour 2005 22 C-Dory Cruiser with dark blue trim and bimini. The boat is turn key other than safety gear and personal effects...

1) I made a change to my profile which deactivated my account. Before I could figure a way to contact someone about this "The Management" had it taken care of. 2) As other forums I browse spiral downward into bickering and monkey slinging poop fights, C-Brats stands tall and stays above the...

I need to make a repair to the front center window latch (dog?) on our 2005 22' C-Dory. I think it could be accomplished with the right adhesive. There are some good new glues on the market but it's best to know what you are gluing. Does anyone here know what the latches from that era were...

It's that time of year when we are thinking of getting something roomier than our beloved 22 Cruiser. I had not been considering the C-Dory 25 because of reported fuel tank access issues. It is our good fortune to have docked next to Anita Marine. Now I know the 2005 (IIRC) and newer 25s have a...

There are aluminum wedges between the Honda 40s and the transom. They are approximately 1/2" thick at the top and 1/16" at the bottom. The only purpose seems to be to move the lower unit back a bit while under way. Can this be right? What am I missing? Do other C-Dory's have this wedge? Seeing...

My research suggests the engine's anti-ventilation plate shouldn't be immersed while on plane. Ours are and I can raise the motors one notch without drilling new holes. I doubt if that will be enough to raise the plate out of the water but we'll see if it helps. My question is how tight do the...

So I'm racing my engineer home after work at 3:00 AM and a rear axle breaks! Managed to wrestle it off to the side of the road, what a ride! :shock: Get it towed to the dealer and just for kicks look at some new rigs. I should know better... They are making deals on '13 models. We found a...

ANCHORED by Shel Silverstein Our anchor's too big for our ship, So we're sittin' here tryin' to think. If we leave it behind we'll be lost. If we haul it on board, we will sink. If we sit and keep talkin' about it, It will soon be too late for our trip. It sure can be rough on a sailor When...

Amazing video. http://now.msn.com/video-of-killer-whales-chasing-a-boat-like-dolphins

Quite by accident I found the factory supplied hose that drains the port lazarette-bait well was falling apart. Like most C-Dory 22s the compartment is just used for storage so's I never felt the need to inspect the hose. As the throughhull it is attached to is quite close to the waterline at...

Here's the thing. Our newest rescue flares expire in September. Prolly the last time the boat will be on the water this year will be in mid September. I wonder if anyone has a definitive answer as to whether the flares expire the first or last of the month listed as the expiration date. I...

So here's what I'm thinking. Our short dock lines, when attatched to the midship cleats, aren't long enough to foul the propellers. They could be left on the midship cleats and I could mount cleats in the front corners of the cockpit to secure the tail of said dock lines. This way Adrienne could...

We're thinking about buying a folding boarding platform that should make using the dinghy easier than the collapsible ladder we have now. It, like the ladder, should be helpful in a man overboard situation. linkey>http://www.slideanchor.com/Default.aspx Find and click Boarding Platform. I...

How to keep the little buggers from scuttling behind the fuel tanks? How to contain them? Inquiring minds want to know.

Is a dinghy anchor an often overlooked safety item? Frankly I doubt if many people even consider one. Should I?

I'd like to throw a crab pot over the side and possibly harvest a few oysters while staying at state parks in the San Juans. Any ideas which parks would be good candidates?

As the boating season approaches let's take a look at our fire extinguishers. Besides checking the pressure gauge shake your dry chemical extinguishers so the agent doesn't cake at the bottom and render them useless. Those of us with inflatable PFDs might check to see if the inflating mechanisms...

Where do you mount your fire extinguishers and why? I'm giving up on carrying our 5 pounder loose. This is legal but the thing is there is nowhere to permanently mount it in our 22' Cruiser without it being in the way. We're going to get a couple 2 1/2 pounders and mount them properly. I'm...
