For anyone who is curious as to how a Battle Born lithium battery is put together here is a video of someone tearing one apart.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G5E30u-66VI If you search a bit more on Youtube you can find a couple of more videos of him tearing down a cheaper Riuxu battery as...

This guy making these videos must be Hunkydory Jay's Scandinavian cousin! :D A very impressive demonstration of the Kaboat. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_462woPVMKE It is the size up from Jay's but I don't think most of us would be tackling this kind of water with a boat that doubles as a...

I wonder when, or if, we'll see these on the roads soon.http://www.truckcampermagazine.com/news/electric-trucks-for-rvs-and-campers/

I just noticed the new C-Dory website is up and running. A BIG improvement over the previous incarnation. Check it out [url]https://www.c-dory.com/url]

Sorry to say that we are unable to host the PRCBGT for 2018. Anne and I have family and travel commitments for this year. Hopefully another BC based Brat will be willing to host a CBGT in a different location. We will bring the PRCBGT back in a future year. The CBGT's are such a great way...

If you haven't checked out the modifications that have been done in HawesPipers interior you really should. The work that has been done, the attention to detail and the quality of the work is amazing. Extremely well done...

A bit of humour to get you to appreciate the warmer south. Glad I don't live in Manitoba. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DzK46eXTYq0

A fellow brat PM-ed me asking if a 150 Yamaha is a good choice for the 25. I thought I'd share my answers with every one because the question does come up quite often. My replies are below. Reply 1 "The 150 has been a good engine. It now has about 1300 hours on it. Almost all in salt water...

One again the Powell River C-Brats: Ron and Anne (Meander), Greg and Flora (Reel Knotty) and Steve and Marnie (Lily Pad) would like to extend our invitation to all C-Brats, former C-Brats, and C-Brat wannabes to join us in Powell River BC, July 14 - 16. If you didn't make it to last years...

I was just talking about the CCG vessel Cape Caution on the PRCBGT thread and then I find out it has played a big part in preventing the sinking of a large pleasure yacht from California. This all played out in Pender Harbour, just down the coast from Powell River. Of course the locals were the...

Hey I found this new cool BBQ/Cooler that I think would be perfect for a C-Dory. It does multiple duty keeping your beverages cold while being there to BBQ your catch of the day or a good blue rare steak. And the best yet, when everything is cooked or cooled, you just flush away the coals...

For all of us (well at least me) that tend to "believe" our GPS is giving us accurate info. http://www.theweathernetwork.com/news/articles/ontario-woman-follows-gps-right-into-tobermory-harbour/67727/This should remind us to look up from our electronics and pay attention to our surrounding...

Apparently lots of folks along the eastern seaboard are getting a real wintery start to 2016. Hopefully all eastern C-Brats are tucked away somewhere snug and warm, while this storm rages. Ron

Well folks, my wife Anne and I have decided that we'd take on hosting a Canadian gathering of the C-Brats in Powell River BC this August. Probably the 2nd weekend but the exact date will have to confirmed yet. For those yet to discover it, Powell River is located on the mainland of BC on the...

I noticed a C-Dory 25 with an Armstrong Bracket for sale on Yacht World http://www.yachtworld.com/boats/2006/C-Dory-25%27-Cruiser-2789139/Bayfield/WI/United-States#.VPu1eWR4r7A. Does anyone know anything about this boat. I have always wondered how a C-Dory would do with a bracket like this. The...

You never know how your participation in the C-Brats will end up rewarding you. Last year I met George and Carolyn from Kerri On at Beach Gardens resort in Powell River. We chatted and during our conversation George mentioned that he and Carolyn had to go back to Nanaimo for a week and he would...

I found this link to BC Ferries on another site http://www.bcferries.com/bcferries/faces/attachments?id=851594 Its for over length vehicles on Wednesdays and Saturdays for the summer. I can't find the info on the BC Ferries website so I hope this link works. If I was trailering Meander from...

Well maybe explodes is too graphic a word but it did blow off the battery caps and crack and raise the top of the case about 3/16 of an inch pretty much all around the top of the battery. We haven't used Meander since our Jan 1st outing and she has been stored with her storage cover on, and with...

Two coast guard auxiliary volunteers died on sunday when their rigid inflatable overturned in Skookumchuck narrows. Skookumchuck narrows is not far from Egmont, which is a common fuel stop for people travelling to Princess Louisa. You do not transit Skookumchuck on the way to PL but it is not...

I've seen a few posts by people looking for a thruster. So for the someone wanting the totally blinged out C-dory... http://www.exturnusa.com/adminmarinno/product.php?productid=17513&cat=249&page=1
