Jody - they also asked to use one of my Powell pix, hard to imagine they would use two so similar, but I guess we will just have to see what the brochure holds when it comes out!

I guess if the new brochure shows everyone having so much fun it might sell some boats. Samantha told me the new brochure will ship next week. I hope C-dory starts running adds in the magazines again. I noticed after I bought mine they quit advertising. That is where I first saw them. I think you have to keep your name in front of everyone to keep selling.
Jody, Samantha told us it would be next week too.
We carried one of the original brochure's around with us for over 20 years before actually purchasing a C-Dory. Was honored and found it hard to believe our Hunkydory would appear on the new brochure now.
Think these three will be in it.
The third photo wouldn't post its one of the group in Yellowstone.
Sam also requested four photos for possible use in there Internet site brochure. We are looking forward to see if any of those requested make the grade too.

That picture of you standing beside your trusty boat has got to rank high on the list of great pictures. If all of these photos end up in the brochure there going to have a great brochure. Which one of the Yellowstone photos did they choose? It looks like the url got cut off.

Thanks for the photo compliment I passed it on to Jo-Lee. Red Bluff Bay Alaska ranks at the very top of all the places we have been in the boat. I too thought all those photo's are going to make a great brochure and pleased that Samantha has decided to do this brochure update.
This is the photo of the Yellowstone Gathering I couldn't get to post earlier. That day was a real memory maker and I think the photo captured it well.

The discussion of the boarding plank is here:
Boarding Planks, Ladders, and Other Ideas
Yellowstone John made that plank, and we had pictures of it, but I can't find it in the archives. Maybe he can supply some new ones. The original discussion and photos might have been lost when we switched over from MSN to the new site.

OK, I found the photos in the Cockpit and Accessories Album.
Here's a multi-purpose boarding plank build by Yellowstone John which is shown being stowed on the cabin top. Note that he has added an extra set of wooden rails on the roof outside of the OEM stainless ones.
Here the plank is deployed on the bow to reach the shore. If the anchor and roller are in the way, one might have to design it to set off to the side somewhat . A rope sling or loop holds the plank to the bow. The plank is 9 1/2" wide and 79-81" long and about 2 1/2" thick. It is made of plywood on the top and bottom, with solid wood sides, and foam filled for rigidity and reserve boyancy. It has been treated with a special wood finish of Dutch origin, but not fiberglassed. Weight is 33 lbs.
The grey material is 3m non-skid. Metal reinforcing has been added to the sides for stiffening. I've not seen it deployed in person, but wonder if it can be put over the bow right after beaching the boat, or whether on the first landing, one must go over the side, then deploy the ramp, being able to use it on subsequent trips on and off the boat at the same spot.
Here we can see the plank used to board the stern of the boat. It can also be used to board the boat from the sides, although we have no photo of this useage. A very versatile accessory!
Here's the stern of John's boat, "The Far West". The plank makes a seat as you'll see in the next photo. Here you can see a wooden panel with aluminum edge molding that fits into another aluminum three sided molding to form a barrier against the fine art of being accidently "pooped" on by a large wave, or when backing down in a following sea.
Here's the plank hung across the back of the boat, doubling as a seat while being stored there. You can also see the aluminum channel that holds the barrier across the engine well in place. Sorry about the green part of the photo. Can you improve on this great project design or come up with your own?
C-Dory boarding plank/seat
I hope all of this makes sense. I asked John about the projects at Shasa Lake in about 2003, then he sent me photos and a written explanation. Larry H scanned them into the Cockpit and Accessories Album, and I then wrote up the narration based on John's letter.

Bad news.
There is no page 23.
Brochure is 12 pages total- but tons of pictures of many of you using (and enjoying) your boats!
Our first brochures arrived today. And I see some of the pictures you have all mentioned! So I'm not sure how they referenced the photos, but they are there.
