I'm trying to understand whether to purchase a sea anchor. For those reading this, the type of sea anchor would be something like the 9' Para-Tech to be deployed at the bow in open water and heavy seas when it is not possible to run for shelter. If the purpose of a sea anchor is to create the...

Jeeze, Jammin, you got a little story to go with those awesome photos of the Sea of Cortez? C-Trial

Greetings fellow Dorian, TyBoo Somewhere you were writing about earlier troubles getting your FF transducer located correctly. I, too, have a Garmin. I'm in the process of installing Bennett M120 trim tabs and will have to move my transducer to a new location. Two questions. 1. Ultimately...

Do I remember correctly that the Brat site has an archive of old stuff and a different way to access this (or am I confusing this with the C-DOG old-archive link)? I think I once saw reference to some Brat member seeking the administrators approval to join some Brat tech discussion group. Is...

Okay--Im not giving up so easy. Awhile back I asked a complicated question about where you find it most convenient to park you backside in the cockpit while underway/fishing/crusing. Got zero answers. Tyboo, I can't picture you sitting in a lawn chair. Nor do I imagine that everyone is perching...

My sunbrella covered dinette and v-berth are beginning to look grungy. Has anyone ever tried to launder their seat and berth coverings or is re-covering the only real solution? Do I need to recoat the sunbrella? C-Trial

exnay on the icebox... The icebox in my cruiser appears to be the lowest form of human invention since the first wheel was chipped from stone. Out it will come (hopefully this weekend), but what to put into the gaping maw that remains? Talking to the C-D factory I was inclined just to opt for...

I once stumbled across some (recent) boat show photos on this site that I'm trying to relocate. As I recall it showed a (number of photos of a ) green 22 cruiser being rigged, I seem to recall Les Lampman being referred to in the potos, but most importantly, the boat had an ultra-neat stainless...

Forgive me father, for I have sinned... I settled with Schooner Creek today on starting the following work list beginning this Friday: new hydraulic steering Raymarine ST6001 autopilot with remote Bennett M120 TTs Rule 2000 bilge (aux) in the transom Lewmar Sprint 600 windlass and a 16.5#...

Hearing the experiences of anyone wiusing a Sprint 400 or Sprint 600 vertical windlass would be appreciated. Considering installing the Sprint 400 next week. Please stop me if the 400 is, in reality, undersized for a 22 Cruiser. My hook will be a 16.5# bruce and 20' of chain. I'm guessing 200'...

Greetings, all... I'm interested in comfortable cockpit seating while underway or while fishing. True, opne could pull up a cooler with a padded top, but what would be more interesting would be comfrortable padded seats with a back (you know, the fold down back variety--you see them at West...

Greetings, Tyboo I received this reply to a thread I started several days ago: Hey there, I live just across the river from you. Sportcraft Marine in Oregon City has recieved some good reviews. Other than buying our boat there, I haven't done any business with them. They have sold and rigged a...

Greetings all, This is my second post to C-Brats since buying C-trail 2 weeks ago. I have a number of projects going on and at this rate am spending money faster than Congress. First, I live in St. Helens and will be looking forward to seeing all you Columbia River folk at the next gathering...

Greetings, all, This is my first posting on the C-Brat site. Completed the purchase of a 22 Cruiser about 10 days ago and have been trying to come up to speed. perhaps someone can point me to old threads that have answered this subject (the C-Brat archive is really big). I store my dory in a...
