C-Dory Sightings

Spent a lovely evening here in Baltimore harbor with Stefan and Maddie of SoBelle (SSOBOL). Nice to see a C-Dory with the hull down and in the water. Stefan has done quite a number of very practical and ingenuitive projects. Hope to run into them again one of these days. Heck everybody here should...

Saw a Tomcat 255 Heading north on I-5, just before the Terwilliger curves. Appeared to be green trim.

Probably the one that just sold in Oakland that the article about the low price was about. Was being taken to Washington and going to go on to Alaska in April on the ferry (Alaska Maine Highway). See below:

I'm the lucky guy who bought the TomCat. I guess this is good time to introduce myself. My name is Bob and I'm from Alaska. My son and I flew out of Anchorage during a snowstorm to Oakland on Tuesday with a survey and sea trial to be preformed on Wednesday. Everything checked out extremely well. The actual hours after the engine diagnostic was 138 hours! We towed the boat to Seattle to store at a friends place until the first ferry ride to Whittier Alaska. Got home late Friday night. The vessel was obviously a boat slip Queen. My understanding was it belonged to an older gentleman who thought it was time to sell. After the boat arrives (In April) I plan on sending him pictures of her forever home in Alaska. I feel extremely fortunate to have found the boat and plan on going to the Seattle Boat Show in Jan hopefully to meet some of the people from this site.

Yesterday at 1 p.m. from Magnolia I saw a dark trimmed 22' Cruiser rounding the West Point Treatment Plant here in Seattle, steaming south at about 20 knots. Might have been headed for Blake Island.

We caught a glimpse of "Surfriser" on her trailer, looked like a 25 with brown trim, at a service shop on Big Pine Key. No luck on searching that name, so back to the pool we go.

Cheers!

Didn't see the boat so don't know how to spell the name, but I met the owner of "4 C Sons" or "4 Seasons" or ???. He was asking what bottom paint to get to put on his C-Dory at the counter in the West Marine store in Port Townsend. I asked if he had looked at C-BRATS.com, but he had never heard of it. I gave him a card that has the website pointed out.

See, It doesn't matter when or where you take a C-Dory, They get noticed.

Saw a handsome green sixteen cruise slowly by the houseboats on Portage Bay in Lake Union (Seattle) yesterday. Folks, that guy in the blue coat waving to you was me. It was a good day to motor about, and I imagine you had big fun.
 
Dwight, tell Fred and Joe I said hi. And 11 days ago at Sucia I saw the most unique of all C-Dorys: the rarely spotted 29'. It's not quite the ivory billed woodpecker, but I believe I'm correct that just one was built. Nice couple, keeps it up in Pat and Patti country, Blaine. Besides my boat, there also was a 19' at the dock and an anchored Tomcat. Eight boats at one point, half were C-Dorys.

Penguin is #1, and was recently sold on the Erie Canal. The list of boats on this web site shows six 29's--there could be double posting. My recollection is that there were 9 built. There is a thread with comments by the designer and that is where I believe the 9 number came from.

I remember seeing that 29 on a trailer at a gathering in Bellingham. It had a "wide load" banner across the stern. I thought that was an appropriate name.
