    Center Window problem

    John, Thanks for the update on the center window issue. The solution I employed on Levity and posted here was original as I had not seen or heard of anyone else using such a fix, yet, a bolt and detent system to hold a sliding rod in place is hardly original, so let's credit great minds thinking...

    Need help anchoring!

    Jeff & Julie, Local knowledge is best concerning bottom types and appropriate anchors so I will limit my comments to the anchor buddy concept. A simple stretch cord looped on both ends functions well. Use 30 feet of stretch cord and estimate a 50% elongation rate giving an effective 15 feet of...

    Boat Names

    Levity was chosen as our C-Dory name as we wanted to endow the boat with the concept of lighthearted fun. We found a definition of levity which included the descriptors; "buoyancy in speech or manner". We felt this was a good match to our concepts and liked the flexibility of buoyancy to cover...

    Brand new owner

    Here's a key story: My 19 year old niece drove us to the lake, after a day of swimming and boating we tied to the fuel dock and she (still clad in her itsy bitsy swim suit) dropped her keys over the side into 12 feet of water. She had no hide-a-key and no 2nd key within 300 miles. Fortunately...

    Camper-back

    Hi All, My 2 cents on a camber back includes a yes to zippering the top a few inches aft of the sliding attachment point to allow for speedy dropping of the top, yes to stainless 1" tubing for the security of its strength, yes to hard legs for the rigidity they add to the top, yes to clear side...

    Balsa core problems

    Ken, Thanks for giving those thingys a proper name. The strap attachment point is at the same height because the tank bulkhead was shortened a measure equal to the height of the cleat upon which the bulkhead now sits. Mike 'Levity"

    Balsa core problems

    Hi All, The factory decking option limits the available space one has to make corrections to the tank bulge problem. I have posted some pics of one solution to the problem in the Levity album, page 4. Included is a picture of the three pronged threaded bolt receiver thingy. Mike 'Levity'
