WaterlineBeam of a C dory 25

Hi Jim
We had a CD 22 which we kept in Las Vegas for about 4 years--several trips to the PNW, S. Calif. and at least one yearly trip to Lake Powell. My adult son has also re-expressed interest in boating, but the 22 was a bit cramped for him and we felt that getting into the v berth on the 22 was hard on our backs.
We sold the 22 when we purchased the TC 255. C Pelican has a new home with Jeff and I got to go aboard her about a month ago at Jeff's house. After about a year, without a boat on the West Coast (where I spent most of my life--Marie is from Mississippi) we missed being able to just go out and boat. Origionally we were going to trailer the TC 255 back and forth across the US. After re-considering, we decided to buy another boat for the West Coast boat and fly out more often. (We were missing the CD 22, but wanted a bit more room) We considered the CD 25, the Rosborough 246 and the Tom Cat 24. When this boat's price dropped, we made the decision.
My son will also be an owner and use the boat when we are not there. The boat will probably be kept in S. Calif. If all goes as we expect (the trailer is being built and electronics are on order) I will tow the CD 25 to N. Vancouver Island by the end of this next month for a trip to Alaska. I will probably spend most of the summer on the boat--Marie will fly back and forth as she needs to help with the care of her elderly mother.
It is likely that my son, Todd, will end up with one of these boats when we get to the point where we can no longer boat.
