Yes!! Way to go Harvey! Man's ability to "poop in our own nest" is amazing.

What about the bracket a fella named Tyboo fabricated awhile back? It's documented with plans in the library section of Forums. I used his plans and made a great bracket. WAIT A MINUTE that's you!!!! What gives?? Mine has worked out well and is far enough back to clear tabs.

Come on gang--lets just stay away from this politics stuff. Snide little side remarks (on either side) don't help.

Thanks, Colby--that needed to be said!!!

Merry, A fabulous portfolio!! As Dr Bob said they should be in textbooks Wow!!

If you want to fab one up check out Tyboo's bracket. I used his plans but made it slightly wider to fit my 9.9 Suzuki better. Used 1/8" stainless for mine but one could use aluminum (thicker but easier to bend). For the pad 1-3/4" plywood but I think Starboard would work. Strong enough to...

Joining the chorus too. Sunbeam, you out there?? Hope all is well, miss you! Another "single" C-Dory guy (actually have a dog, Riley, a seasoned sailer!!).

Amen!!

Just found this on local CL. Could be a blank slate to fix up to be your own at a good price. I have no affiliation with this boat or owner--just passing it on. https://monterey.craigslist.org/boa/6055973102.html

Kushtaka Thanks, that's cool. First time I've seen that way to fill the holes. I've always used thickened epoxy; a small putty knife; at times, a syringe and LOTS of fussing to back fill! I can see where a sharp chisel and green epoxy would make clean up quick. Next time I have holes to fill...

Finally did it!! Double post! Sorry about that!

KU, What a surprise to see you're located in CV. Didn't know there was another C-Dory in the neighborhood. I've seen a few out on Monterey Bay but never close enough to say "hi". Anyway, "hi", glad to know you're in the neighborhood!!

Joel/SEA3PO Just looked at your album. Some great projects and ideas. Hope you'll post your new battery install--I can't quite visualize it. Kea is a good looking boat too. What is her history/make etc? Thanks,

Is 9 x 12, length (9") x width/beam (12")? Or vise versa?? Thanks!

I agree with both BillE and Westward! The 1/3 rule is basic. However in my income bracket I have to be extra carefully with my $. A flow meter would help me optimize my speed and fuel useage and save a few pennies. If I save a few pennies everyday by the end of the year I could maybe save...

My quick impression is that the Autotether is a somewhat simpler system (KISS)! I know of two guys locally who have set up the Autotether and like it-neither has actually had to test it in a real life episode--but that's good too! Soon as I can I plan on getting an Autotether or the Fell system...

Thank you, Jay! Thank you, Harvey!

Amen to what Mark and Andy just expressed!!! Glad to know I'm not the only one with those thoughts. We can't just continue to grow. More people everywhere and we all want an ever expanding lifestyle. Can't go on forever. Making (ie. producing & consuming) more, more ,more is not going to work...

I've been going to try rowing my 22 for awhile now. Don't have the oars but I may yet make some 10' and give a try. Too much windage to go up wind and any kind of slop would be a pain but I'm sure that standing and rowing would work. On a calm morning it would be a good way to get some aerobic...

Dr Bob, thanks for the link it will be interesting to check out. Actually I'm not sure it's a good idea--I spend far too much time on YouTube!!!! After all these years I still lust after a Cal 40! Good boats.
