I've been thinking about doing this too. A teak door actually came with my boat, the PO was planning the same thing. I haven't followed through yet as I have other more important projects ahead of it, and we're storing life jackets in there for now which don't require much access.

We were at families lake house in TN this time last year when one of the teenage girls came back from a golf cart ride holding a fawn about that size. Found it sitting beside the road. We took it back and the mom came back. Apparently it's common for them to leave their babies while they go out...

I use to sail out of Little River in the Long Bay Sailing Association, good people up there. I realized after we crossed paths that we probably won’t see many C-Dory’s in our neck of the woods. Hope you have good weather and a pleasant finish to your journey. Next time we cross paths we’ll have...

This wing nut wouldn't hold the window open any longer.

Then I went to this by adding the knob hardware to the old adjuster rod.

Just so there's no confusion. This is what I had on my adjuster

That's reassuring if the trim tabs are in solid glass. In that case I will add a piece of starboard for the transducer. Thanks

Hey Bob, I think we passed you guys yesterday just North of Charleston. My friend has a boat and two slips at Ashley marina, he sent a pic of your boat the day before. Sorry I didn't know you were in town. I thought it may be you guys when we saw you, should have hailed on the vhf but the...

My 2002 I just bought has the same issue. The outer ends of each piece of starboard forward of the tanks have pulled the screws out. I ran almost all of the fuel out over the last 3 days. We put about 16 hrs on the boat and did a lot of exploring, anyway before I digress, I plan to pull the...

I'm just going to update this old thread. I have a 2002 22 Cruiser with the adjuster for the center window that has the wing nut on it. I've been trying for a few weeks to find a suitable solution or replacement as my wing nut would just jump the threads and not tighten enough to hold the window...

A friend of mine gave me the sea school course that he won in a regatta. It was about to expire and I took the course, I followed through and got the license. I've considered doing a little chartering and or maybe sailing lessons in my American 18. I was pretty close to downloading that HOBA app...

Yes that’s correct, ideally I drop it, if I’m coming in from down wind or down current it may take a little toss. I use to use the same technique for our sailboat when coming into the slip. Of course it’s ten times easier with the maneuverability of the C-Dory. My spliced loop is about 4ft...

Thank you, I’ve never visited up that way, would love to some day. It also works great for those times when you’re just dropping someone off or picking someone up. We ended up docking six times on our day out recently, twice picking up and dropping off people, once at a restaurant, and twice...

We're right between Ft Sumter and Ft Johnson. I've heard it referred to as No name island. Just to the left of the boat is Ft Johnson. My wife found a ton of black sea glass over there. I'll keep an eye out for you.

It’s in Charleston SC, supposedly the longest single span suspension bridge east of the Mississippi. Although I feel like every large bridge has some claim to fam, lol.

Thanks, I forgot one amusing incident. While we were out my sister called, and upon hearing we had the boat out wanted to join us. They live on the side of the harbor we were anchored on so I told her I’d meet her, her husband and two kids at a waterfront park not far away and she suggested that...

I love the midships cleat right outside the helmsman's window. It really makes docking a breeze. I use about a 10ft piece of dock line that I spliced a large loop into. When docking I hang my arm out the window and lasso the cleat on the dock with the spliced loop, the other end is made off to...
