    On the ferry headed to opening night...can't wait to see and smell the factory-fresh C-Dorys...and the crazy $$$$ sale price.

    NAVIONICS Boating App Price Increase 10/24

    For anyone using the NAVIONICS boating app, the annual subscription fee goes up from $24.99 to $49.99 per year on October 24. My current subscription expires in May 2024, but by hitting the renew button today they rolled out my subscription to May 2025. So it doesn't overlap or wipeout remaining...

    What's your weather 'max'?

    Knowing full well that our TC24 can handle much tougher conditions than we can, I've always wondered what our 'max' is for comfortable cruising. We had dinner reservations across the Sound last night...and a nice sunny, warm evening. NWS had winds out of the N at 15kts and wind waves 2ft. Looked...

    Cabin Top...Fiberglass Or Cored?

    First true PacNW rainstorm this weekend since we bought our 99 TC-24 earlier this summer. I thought the seal on the mast light might be questionable. The bracket (aft end of cabin top, center line) is slightly bent. And sure enough, I'm getting some droplets inside the cabin at the overhead...

    Navigating Deception Pass (Whidbey Island, WA)

    I spent the last couple days camping (land-lubbing) at Deception Pass State Park. We hiked up on to the bridge and spent some time up there just enamored by the beauty...and by the swirling currents and the various boats navigating that treacherous stretch. I was amazed by a log that was shot...

    TC24 Convertible Dinette/Berth?

    Hmmm, poking around and learning about our boat...looks like I'm missing a few items to make the dinette into a 'convertible' berth. The table does swing up...a bit off fully vertical...but no latching mechanism to hold it in place. Both hinges are fixed so the table isn't removable. The bench...

    24’ Tomcat Sponson Access

    Question for any 24’ Tomcat (1999) owners out there. Taking a look at one for sale in PNW today. I’m not seeing any access covers to inspect the sponsons/voids under the cockpit deck. There has to be an access point for bilge pumps somewhere without having to cut something out, right? Also...

    Factory Ordered!

    Just put in the order and deposit to the factory for a 25' Cruiser. The delivery date is tentatively next February. Bummer, but it will be worth the wait...I've been shopping C-Dorys for nearly 20 years...finally pulled the trigger! And we still have a few months to ponder the installation...

    Assist request from Kitsap Peninsula on Puget Sound

    Aloha. I recently purchased a little 16' sailboat (Balboa 16) that is currently at a marina in Bainbridge. I'm not ready to sail her under her own power to my slip at the Port of Poulsbo Marina yet (no outboard yet...rudder repairs in progress). I'm wondering if there might be someone out there...
