With the outlook of high gas prices is C-Dory ready for very fuel efficient displacement hull model? I'm thinking of the CD 22 cabin sitting on a stretched out double ended hull, pushed by a 10HP outboard. Hull speed of 7kts and fuel economy of 12-15 mpg should be possible. Do you think there...

I did a search on the forums and did not find any posts that mention Thermacells. I recently learned about these from some camping / hunting friends and thought I would share. They are a small hand held size unit that keeps all types of small flying bugs away from the area your sitting...

Is it possible to mount twin 40's on a CD22 far enough apart to fit a swim ladder in between? I'm guessing there would be a steering control rod that you would have to step over? I will be single-handing the great loop and would like as much motor control as possible. So I thought if I could...

I have been reading many Ships logs from folks who have done the great loop. So far everyone is going in a 35-40 foot boats and I plan to do it in a CD-22, what differences should I keep in mind? I will be single handing the trip and I only see advantages to a small boat, less chance of...

I was looking over the Honda marine site this morning, comparing the 75efi and 90efi. They have test results for both motors on the C-dory 22 cruiser. The 75 outperforms the 90 in speed / RPM and MPG up until about 4250 rpm where they are equal at approx. 22mph (the 75 get slightly better...

I don't have my C-Dory yet, but thought about doing an engine course specific to the engine I end up with. My idea would be to find a local instructor and set-up a 1 on 1 class on my specific motor. Has anyone done this? Make any sense? What would the course criteria be?

I'm a couple years away from a cruise boat lifestyle. The C-Dory is at the top of my list, but I keep an eye open for alternates. This Trimaran caught my interest. It's primarily a cruising sailboat but can motor at 14 knots with a 40 hp outboard. In the sailing mode it sails above 15 knots...

Hello all, I'm taking a test ride on my first C-dory on the 26th at Boatline in Charleston SC. I'm very excited to check it out, any suggestions for questions to ask, things to pay special attention to? I'm very new to power boating, more familiar with sailboats, so I'm a little intimidated...

Hello Brats, This is Greg from Louisville, Ky. I recently registered to your wonderful site so that I can learn some more about the C-Dory and the folks who enjoy them. I'm on a 5 year plan to early retirement, at which time I would love to do the Great Loop and various other assorted cruises...
