Congratulations on your purchase. What a perfect Mother's Day celebration this could be to bring your wife up to the PNW waters and spend time with the C-Brats family and for you both to get to know your new boat better up here. Tell your wife that we are proud of you for being patient and...

We are about 3 weeks away from being able to start our annual C-Brats gathering at Friday Harbor. Upon arrival, when you can see the Port of Friday Harbor marina, please remember to call in for slip assignment. What may appear as vacant slips on H-Dock will not necessarily be the case. Many of...

I just watched the video in your photo album and saw Bill and El on the Halcyon laying hands on your Cara Na Mara. The photos are well taken and special. Thank you for having this in your photo album. Tears are forming in my eyes as I write this message. If the weather is good, come out and see...

If it's encouraging, people come to the Friday Harbor annual gathering in May each year in CD 16's. Good seamanship is the key as Bob and WCF refer to. Watch the weather and hourly noaa buoy ocean condition reports. A CD 16 is a very capable vessel and will probably handle ocean conditions...

For those who have recently signed up for the FH gathering, there are 12 vessels that plan to head up to Princess Louisa Inlet at Chatterbox Falls when the event ends on Sunday. If interested, you are welcome to join the group. Start planning now and get your C-Dory ready for this 270 mile round...

Thanks for letting us know Tom. We (C-Brats) will keep trying to have you at the event. It is Mother's Day weekend and I can see that your daughter has thought ahead to do something special for you both that weekend. Maybe next year you can make it. Bring your daughter then and I bet she will...

If you could make the Friday Harbor gathering this year, your new to you CD 18 would be quite a hit!

We are 5 1/2 weeks from our Friday Harbor gathering in the San Juans. Consider joining us in May. Click on the 'Event Signups' at the top of the header column and then send a PM to Colleen and I on DayBreak. Let us know your name(s), boat name and what days you expect to be there and we will put...

Good points so far from shad and Ed. My thinking is that most folks buy a C-Dory because it can easily be towed anywhere. We are hoping to tow ours up to Telegraph Cove, BC this fall to save boat miles on the water. Most people looking to buy a C-Dory really expect a well functioning trailer to...

Hi Ed, Congratulations on your new to you C-Dory purchase and for being a member of C-Brats. Do you think you would need to trailer your C-Dory ever for service? Also, your C-Dory will sell easier one day if you decide to sell with having a trailer for it. Things to consider, along with maybe...

Good eye Patrick and for $28,500. Those interested should call now, ask about a deposit with the option to back out if the boat is not what was expected etc. A marine survey would be wise to help protect that the boat does not require further expense. ....Looks clean...

....sorry Brats, here is the correct video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qqMiFu4HI28

Good information from ssobol and Tom. Thank you. I also received PM information from a Brat who is happy with his Trelino Evo M toilet. He also provided a video with the link below from a van conversion company showing and explaining the difference between many of the different portable toilet...

There is lots of information on the web for you to also look at. Rosborough will be a much heavier boat for towing which you may want to consider if you tow up to the PNW and cruise the Inside Passage like you mention. Also, it will probably max out at about 22 knots where that comes into...

Hi Brats, Thought to bring up this thread because we are considering buying this Portable Composting Toilet for our 23 Venture. https://mytrelino.com/collections/compo ... ing-toilet For 22 and 23 C-Dory owners, I am thinking it would be a great option over the traditional Porta-Potti but it is...

We have a lot of new people coming to the event this year, which is a good thing. For those who have never been to the Port of Friday Harbor and are not familiar with the docks, where to get fuel, porti-potty dump, showers etc., take a look at the Boater Guide - Port of Friday Harbor link below...

We now have 12 C-Brat vessels planning to make it to Princess Louisa Inlet and Chatterbox Falls after the event. If interested or wanting to make the trip, let us know. Plan on a full week for this trip, considering a day or two of possible down time in crossing the Strait due to wind or waves...

Thank you Brock. I think the first Friday Harbor C-Brats Get-Together started back in 2008. Glad to help keep this tradition going. The event really runs itself.See you and everyone in May.

You might consider looking at Kingfisher. Great aluminum boats with the amenities of a C-Dory and an enclosed head. Aluminum isn't perfect though. It will be colder and with the possibility of greater cabin moisture concerns. We also have an aluminum fishing boat but love our C-Dory. A lot...

I just now viewed the video of this C-Dory, 25 Cruiser. It is extremely clean and apparently well loved and cared for. Should sell fast if not already sold. Good time to put on the market for the upcoming start of the boat season in the PNW. It also looks like a local sale in Anacortes, Wa...
