I have a friend who needs to finish off some areas of the bare fiberglass interior of a catamaran he built. IIRC, someone here posted how he mixed a slurry (my word) to coat the fiberglass in the vee berth area. My search here has not been productive, so perhaps I’m dreaming. In case I’m...

(I had trouble searching and seeing more than one page of results, so will ask my own question) How thoroughly do the brakes need to be rinsed after being dunked? Should the wheels need to removed to get around the brakes better? Or just spray from the back side and through the wheel spokes...

The recent post about trim tabs has me thinking again about moving the batteries forward to get the bow down...with less trim tab. 22 Cruiser with Honda 90, two batteries, one in each stern locker; trim tabs and Permatrim. I haven't measured closely to make sure there is room under the vee...

We don't fish, so I removed the Lowrance HDS on the 22 Cruiser we bought last summer to make room for a small kicker. I plan to mount a digital depth sounder, and it looks like the easiest to fit in the dash area are the HawkEye, which I have had experience with, and a Faria, of which I know...

We are thinking about installing a lifter for the 22 Cruiser at our dock, Question for those keeping their CDory on a lifter, do you remove the drain plug, or just rely on the bilge pump to remove rain water? It would seem to be a long reach to the drain plug, but the pump leaves a lot of...

Hi After some months of lurking here, we recently bought Red Top, and look forward to time aboard! As sailors, this won't be our primary vessel, but when there's little wind, or not enough time for a good cruise, Red Top will still allow us to be on the water... the Chesapeake Bay. I...

Hi, Looking at a 22 Cruiser for possible purchase, and want to know what parts of the hull are balsa cored. I thought I had read somewhere that the entire bottom was cored, but can't find that statement now. Is the transom cored? I suppose there are critical areas...keel, chines, transom...
