I realize a few of you are kayakers and some of you do some exploring with your dinghies. Any recommendations for a good handheld GPS/chart plotter?

I recall several C-Brats recently purchasing 5th wheel trailers for "land cruising". Visiting the Seattle RV Show yesterday, I had a hard time separating the fluff from the substance. Are there RV brands equivalent to C-Dory (solid construction)? Are there RV brands to stay away from? Any...

After attending the Seattle Boat Show yesterday and looking over acres of boats, I realized that there wasn't much in the way of trailerable cruising boats around the 22' range. Plenty of ski/wakeboard boats, fishing boats, and yachts. Other than the 25' C-Dory, the SeaSports, Ranger Tugs, and...

I'm thinking of participating in the first leg of the Race to Alaska (Port Townsend to Victoria) in my sailing kayak. The race starts at 5:00am on June 4th. What can I expect for wind conditions in the straight for early June? I realize that a lot of active C-Brats on this site are regular...

I'm curious if anyone has installed an Alaska bulkhead on a 16' cruiser. I realize that the cockpit space is limited, so a sliding door (or doors) might work better than the single hinged door found on a 22' C-Dory. Thanks! Leo

Has anyone been in contact with Ben and/or Dave on the progress of the Toland Marine Marinaut 215? I have tried emailing via their website but haven't received any response. They are still advertising here, so I assume that work is continuing on hull #1. Thanks! Leo

I'm currently looking at used 16 footers and am leaning toward the cruiser over the angler. I'm not a fisherman and the main function of this boat would be day trips. Any opinions from current and former 16' owners? Thanks, Leo

I visited the EQ website this morning and saw no mention of C-Dory. The C-Dory website still lists EQ as a dealer. I am assuming that EQ and C-Dory are going their separate ways. Leo

I was looking at the updated C-Dory website and it appears that C-Dory will be building and selling the Venture 23' and 26' models. I assume that these boats will be built from the CC molds. The CC designs had some good features and I am glad to see that all of the efforts that went into the...

I'm looking at class C motorhomes with a Ford E350, v-10 rig. Most of these MH are rated for 5k towing capacity. Does anyone in this group tow with a C? The towing looks easy, the launching and retrieving might be a different story. Would you consider a backup camera to be an essential item...

Hi C-Brats, I discovered that we are not the only ones fanatical about our boats. I came accross a cool website this weekend: http://www.fiberglassics.com These guys are finding and restoring classic fiberglass boats from the 50's and 60's. The thing I find a bit frightening is that I...

Hi C-Brats, It seems like a trend is starting with owners of 22' C-Dories moving up to 25' C-Dories. It might be worthwhile for C-Dory to start planning on building 28', 31', and 34' C-Dories to keep three-foot-itis in the C-Dory Family. Best Regards, Leo. (currently inbetween boats)

This is a rare opportunity to own one of twelve Toland 18-8 cruisers. Designed and built by Ben Toland, one of the founding members and designers of C-Dory, this boat is similar in design and construction to a C-Dory, with additional detail and features. With an overall length of 18'-8", this...

Hi C-Brats, On January 1st, I make my list of boating goals for the new year. For 2004, I have several cruising destinations on my list that might also be potential C-Brat day cruises or overnight gatherings. #1. Willapa Bay. We would launch at the city park in Raymond, Wa. and head west...
