Thanks Chris. Actually, Colleen and Julie get all of the credit for this 2026 Calendar coming together. But, it would not have happened without you and all of the other C-Brat folks who submitted photos. Thank you to everyone who submitted photos. We will do this again next year. Enjoy the...

original quote, "What brand refrigerator. Ac/dc unit or just dc? I would like to install under rear port side seat seat. I have a 23 Venture." We have a 23 Venture Sport that came with a Norcold refrigerator. The frig will work on AC and DC but ours runs on DC because we did not order the shore...

CPlay you are correct. Also, just this last May, Michael Millison from the factory at NMI told me that all new C-Dory models would soon be built with high density foam fill because the purchase cost of the material was actually cheaper to buy than balsa.

Excellent point Jay in how whales can make you feel small or insignificant while in a C-Dory. On my birthday last week, we were at anchor in Active Cove at Patos Island. At the east opening of Little Patos Island, a pod of Orca spent several minutes swimming around and feeding . We took some...

Great points made so far. No problems since new with 200 ft. of rode and 35 ft. of chain using a 25 lb. Mantus anchor. The 35 ft. of chain seems to be enough lay for a good set as we have never drug the anchor and always have a good set in the PNW waters.

Here are a few photos from our album for your enjoyjent Sorry that I just saw these. Great photos in your signature! Colleen/DayBreak

Notice of change of Calendar photo submittal deadline. Since Julie at NMI already has 30+ photos in the finalist pile, we are going to move the submittal deadline up to Sept 30. (It was Oct 31.) If you think you have a photo that should be considered, please submit it (instructions in first...

Thanks to everyone for the calendar submitals. Julie has said that she has enough to make a calendar! Yahoo!! But, remember, she is always looking for more special photos. Keep submitting, and then look for the 2026 calendar at the end of 2025.

Good job on that purchase and great to hear of your satisfaction with Master Marine. Consider coming to the annual C-Brats Friday Harbor gathering next May. Would love to see your new to you 23 Venture Sport.

Good point Tom. This reminds me of being at the Seattle Boat Show a few years ago and Colleen and I happened to overhear a gentleman asking the rep from Master Marine questions about the 23 C-Dory Venture for sale on the floor. The rep did not know any of the answers that was being asked of him...

This thread is almost 20 years old but I thought I should put a plug in for the Scotty 1106 Downrigger. We bought ours 5 years ago and it has been working well but the last time we were out, the unit was showing about a 50 ft. drop of the lead ball for about every 5 ft. that the ball was...
