Hey folks. It’s breaking my heart but we are gonna have to sell our 2017 22 Cruiser. Probably in early fall but maybe sooner if an offer appears. Trying to figure out what to ask for it, maybe you kids can help. Pretty standard new 22. Has a Wallas, VHF, right at 200 hours on a Honda 90...

Hey folks. Trying to fight the battle of PNW foggy windows and was thinking of installing 2 fans to blow on the windows. I know absolutely nothing about electrical really, how hard is it to wire these? Is there any write-up somewhere with a dummy style guide? Thanks in advance. And if you...

Anybody have their top pick for a small fan or two to help with fogging windows? Also, best placement on a C22?

I’m thinking we’ll get a late start out of Anacortes heading to the San Juan’s. What’s your vote for the first night stop without having to cruise too long? James Island looked promising.

So, this is a random thing, but we left our table down in bench-seat / sofa mode all winter, and now the sliding wood piece on the bottom of the table is stuck so it won't slide to allow the hinged part to drop down. I beat on it with a rubber mallet and got it to move, but it's still very...

Hi everybody. This subject seems too complicated and it kinda makes my head spin. We are about to go do our SJI trip for 10-15 days out. Never done anything like that before and not sure how charged our house battery will stay since it doesn't seem like we'll be traveling too far every day. We...

Anybody have any nice solutions to the issue of where to keep a garbage can or how to keep your trash out of the way and secure from spilling everywhere? Specifically on a 22 Cruiser.

Ok, we pretty have it down to 2 choices in our budget for a dingy for our upcoming San Juans trip on our C22 Cruiser. We won't be able to afford a motor at this time and will be paddling and hoping for good conditions: Kaboat 12': https://www.boatstogo.com/kayaks-sk396.asp or Zodiac Wave 9'...

Ok. It’s decided. Giving ourselves an easy 10 days (with a couple extra wiggle room days in case weather gets dumb) to explore the San Juan’s, starting and ending in Anacortes about May 7th. Doing it in our C-22 cruiser, no dinghy yet, but will probably get a WM PRU-3 before we leave with...

Hey everybody, looking for your opinions, I have a feeling you might have a few. We have had our boat for a year now, about 100 hours of experience, all of that being in the Columbia River. We are going to be able to get away in early May, and hoping to do 10 days out in either the San Juans...

I’ve been trying to figure out how a hammock might work out using the gunnels and came across this: https://crestliner.excelimages.com/21611-j-hook-hammock I can’t really figure out how it is attached and if something like this could work on a C-22. Any ideas?

So, heading into my first PNW (Portland) winter as a C-Dory owner... I don’t have a cover or a camper back. Since we don’t get a ton of snow, do you think getting a camper and using it as a winter cover would work ok? Not sure I can swing it financially, might have to just tarp it. Also...

I'm probably going out next week for my first solo overnight trip and have yet to try and anchor by myself. For those of you with solo anchoring experience... run down your steps for me pretty please. It will be in the Columbia or Multnomah Channel near Portland. Thanks in advance.

So... I've been using my C-22 pretty hard since getting it in February. Learning a ton and having gobs of fun and relaxation. That being said, I've had some... learning experiences, and I have a few scrapes/gouges in the gel coat. Like, I can see a bit of grey peaking through the white. Is...

All the nice things about getting a camper canvas back on my C-22 are pretty obvious living in the PNW. I was curious if there are any disadvantages? Like, getting on and off, docking, towing? Would a more simple Bimini make more sense? thanks.

Hi. My summer is flying by and no time to do much multiple day boating. I was hoping to do our first San Juan's or southern Gulf Osland kinda trip in early fall. How late can you safely bet on decent weather in terms of rough water conditions? Is mid-October too late to plan a trip? I know it's...

Being such a novice boater, I'm learning quickly that I don't know much about reading weather conditions and how they'll actually effect conditions in the Columbia River, especially out in the Gorge. Any rough guidelines regarding windspeed/direction and how it effects the conditions? I know...

Dear Portland areas folks: Hi, we just had our second overnight trip out in our C-22. The first time we went to St. Helens and spent a night at Sand Island. Then last night we had a beautiful night at Beacon Rock. Our dogs really need land access, does anybody have any other recommendations? I...

Hi there. From mainly a safety point of view, and comfort to a lesser extent, is it a great/terrible idea to consider heading from Portland, OR down the Columbia to Astoria, then heading up to Juan de Fuca in a C-22? I know it would be easier and cheaper to trailer it, but.... not the adventure...

Hi there. I want to install a few folding pad eyes or maybe light load cleats for hanging fenders or whatever. They would all be well above the water line. The dumb newbie that I am just thinks I'd just put a couple of screws in, and maybe some silicone or something to coat the screw holes and...
