Hello, C-Brats... Lived aboard three months in Maine where the prevailing rain, fog, etc. had us waging a pretty much constant battle with condensation. It got me wondering how you mariners in the PNW and Alaska, where the seawater is also cold and I understand fog and wet are also common...

Can anyone more familiar than I am with the workings of the site help out? I met a fellow C-Brat, took some photos of his boat I'd hoped to send via e-mail BUT failed to exchange e-mail addresses. I have name, city, state and that's it. He's on the Brat Map but I find no way to get from the...

In a power boat is it still a lazarette?? Under the motor well, where water tank, batteries, etc. are situated in the 25 I'm seeing a lot of condensation, especially dripping off the overhead. To some degree this is related to the Leaky Hatch topic but I do try to keep the bilges dry. Also...

Chances are anyone who'd find these useful also has them bookmarked already or gets the info elsewhere but you never know... http://flseagrant.ifas.ufl.edu/anchorag ... es_map.htm http://www.cruisingguide.com/cp/Scripts ... ategory=22

It looks as though a number of C-Dorys are appearing in Florida, presumably in search of warmer weather but so far with fairly disappointing results! For any itinerant C-Brats transiting the west coast and wanting a stopover in Punta Gorda we'd be glad to offer the use of a currently...

And/or others who may have installed same. I'd like some background before starting. Bob, yours appear mounted so the after leg at least may be through bolted inside the cabin. Were you concerned about the strength of the laminate farther forward on the "visor"? I find some rails with...

This is likely addressed elsewhere but the search engine doesn't reveal it, at least to me. Thinking I'd like to lower the overhead shelf by three inches or so. It looks as though one approach would be to replace the 5/16" bolts, which appear to thread into the outside handrail bases, with...

Has anyone experimented with any of the available sound absorbing mats? I'm wondering whether one of these on the cabin sole might deaden a bit of the noise when the boat pounds.

I think there's a "sightings" thread somewhere but couldn't find it, sorry. Anyhow, dateline Southwest Harbor, Maine: Yesterday - Cruiser 25, NY registration, twin Hondas, sighted briefly at Beals Lobster Wharf. Past month or so - Cruiser 22 at a private float just a few piers N of Beals...

I'm planning to install a Garmin plotter/sounder combination, am deliberating on transducer location and wondering what the arguments are for and against transom mount vs. thru-hull aside from the thru-hull presumably being more effectively located. There's also the "shoot through the hull"...

A recent search here lead me to some photos in the albums of interior teak trim. I'd like to find them again but can't seem to, nor can I recall boat or owner's name. All I remember is that the person who posted them calls interior photos "innards" and exterior photos "outards". Is this a...

Getting pretty serious about a 2000 22' Cruiser from a dealer who assures that all systems will be functional on delivery. Insurers aren't insisting on a survey. It strikes me that the wide experience of many here might make them comfortable with their own thorough inspection of a potential...

Still fooling around at the drawingboard. Current thinking is that if portapotti's a major problem for us we can find out much cheaper in a 22 than a 23. So we're looking at a used 22 without trim tabs. Question: How essential are trim tabs considered to be? Especially to someone completely...

First, a great site you folks have here! I've probed only a little but found a lot of information (if I continued digging likely would find my questions answered already). Nevertheless: coming off years of sail (some liveaboard periods) and am thinking of a boat for use winters here in FL that...

Another non-owner but thinking. Can anyone here tell me whether the hull and deck layup of the CD22 incorporates solid glass in way of penetration points for fitting bolts and thruhulls? You'd hate to think these holes were drilled through the balsa core. (Beware: this is probably the first...
