    Dinghy boarding from a C-22

    I cobbled up a kayak stabilizer that attaches to a folding boarding ladder. Took a couple of lines that hooked onto the ladder on one end and a big fender on the other. I ran the lines inside of some PVC pipe so the fender stands off of the boat. It works great..I just stuck a pic in the B. C album

    Seaplane collides with boat in Vancouver.

    it's correct, the boat is the stand-on vessel but something about that spinning prop just screams "get the hell out of the way". I always used to look both ways when navigating around the Elfin Cove International airport..... the only airport in the world without a Starbucks

    Mae C dead in the water

    do the quick easy test first, check your battery voltage while cranking. Fuel injected, computer controlled engines will crank over but not start if the computer doesn't see a threshold voltage.

    Bad windlass motor?

    electric motors are fun, one always wonders isit the motor or the circuit. A lot of good motors are mistakenly replaced. Here's a good battle plan to follow. *Load test the battery. the battery must be healthy before proceeding *check the amp draw of the motor. If high- it's probably a...

    horns and hailers

    a hailer would be handy, especially on the Columbia. Better to have it and not use it than to need it and not have it. I always dreamed of having a horn life a freighter...damn you could have some fun with the hog lines on a foggy day :)

    come on guys!

    A nice thing about the C-Brats is the collection folks with a shared interest in C-Dory's. It's a great place to get your C-dory fix and escape the world of politics. Twins or single engine? single or twin axle? blue or red? suzuki or yamaha? these are all vital, important issues, political...
