    C-Dory in NY Times

    I remember seeing her story on PBS I think. It was a while ago but I believe we had a thread here on it. It is a great story about her and her Mate.

    CatyMae is no longer with us…

    The loss of Caty Mae just makes me remember all the good laughs we shared, and will share with her even though maybe not in body, her spirit will lives on with us until we can make that final cruise to be with her. We here are the ones hurting. She has the Great Peace.

    2009 Nordic Tug 26

    When I was working the Tacoma Tall Ships , one of my patrol boats was a 26 Nordic Tug called Tugger. In talking with the owners , it is the first 26 to be sold and was the SBS show boat in 1980. They gave me the scoop about the resumption of the Nordic 26. They found out at their Nordic...

    08/17 - Gulf Islands, Part Two

    I wish we could make it again this year but with my Commodore duties, and my big commitment to the Tall Ships , we just ran out of the time on our schedule. Last year's trip with everyone was one of the best times we have ever had on our C-Dory. Now we could do it if we could win the big one...

    Towing a 25 ft. cruiser

    Pat , You are right on about the issues regarding accidents. It was one of the things that worried me about using the Touareg for pulling the Laurna Jo. We even went to the extent of getting the F250 4X4, giving up my beloved Dakota. So I checked it out pretty good with the Touareg owners site...

    Dory Newbie seeks advice. Is a 16' too small?

    We didn't even really consider the 16' when we bought our first C-Dory , a 22'. The 22 is C-Dory's "bread and butter" boat. Does it all in a great package. There have been some excellent buys on "experienced" ones too. Depending on the rigging you can save a whole lot of boating $. I see you are...

    This towing thing has been visited before ,but is is always good to have someone bring it up, as it is timely with the newer CD owners out here. That being said....as mentioned in the past we primarily tow our CD-25 with our 2004 V-8 powered VW Touareg. It tows it fine as the Touareg is a...
