Just a little info for those of you who like to put in at Cap Sante in downtown Anacortes... There is currently a big brew-ha-ha over the Port's plans to remove the launching facilities at that location... The Port, the City and the public all seem at odds. Good chance that this will GO in...

Yep, Jeff left me an e-mail informing me that my boat will go into final assembly on Monday! He says the hightop looks great and that the new fuel tank anchoring system is worth the wait alone. Getting closer... Oh, and I might be expecting some pictures of MY boat on Monday or Tuesday...

Oops! I was wrong about the trailers being in short supply. Les did mention about the hulls, engines and electronics, but the trailers were the one thing that were available -- the very thing I wasn't going to get, yet. Well, that was two months ago. I often have a hard time remembering what...

Dusty, Wow! I'ld LOVE to just doesn't seem to say enough! Thank you for such a gracious offer. Please send me a PM when I could join you, or just to exchange phone numbers. I haven't heard anything lately, but if my boat hasn't fallen behind again I would expect her to be ready for shipment...

Thanks Sawdust and C-Bill for shedding some light on the weight distribution issue -- glad I kept up with this topic. There have been many threads on this board that discuss the benefits of a heavier engine(s) to provide added weight astern in a following sea, and then the need for trim tabs...

Okay, I am already sold on having a swimstep. I wanted to know if they are in fact mounted with through bolts and require the removal of one of the gas tanks. The setup I saw on one of Les's boats also had trim tabs installed and I can understand how clearance for the outboard and positioning...

Tuesday I went to E.Q. to take measurements of various things; one being the swimstep. The more I looked at that swimstep, the more I noticed how well it fit the boat. Hmmm. I had wanted to add some more teak to the exterior, but now I'm not sure. In a couple of weeks the factory should be...

Quote from TyBoo: Well, there have been occasions that I have hit my head, but, other than those occasions I haven't been the butt of many tall jokes -- after all, I'm only 6'-1" and can usually negotiate under doorways and such. Even the weather seems similar up here! I haven't worked with...

Wow, looks like you really get lit-up after dark! Thanks for sharing your photos, Corwin

I'm kinda wondering about those fuel consumption figures... With a longer, wider and deeper hull, there must be more surface area. Yet the boat is only a little lighter. If these consumption figures are even close, then hats off to the design team! I wouldn't like it if the present owners...

It might have been a tough choice, had I seen this prior to ordering my boat. Probably would still have gone with the C-Dory, but it would have been nice to have had another boat to consider. Little bigger, yet a little lighter --- hmm. Will be interesting to see how the complete interior...

Saturday evening, 6:00pm -- right at high tide -- saw a black 22' Cruiser heading East from the West entrance of Guemes Channel until just past the Guemes ferry. She looked to be brand new from what I could see from shore -- I don't think she had a name, any exterior accessories or even an...

Dave, So, that's your boat. I had seen those pictures and I liked your arrangement so much that I became interested in stealing your idea. I'll be in the process of having an arch made for my boat, so if I'm going to do this, now would be the time. Does your GoLight mounted on the pulpit...

Dogon Dory, I just now discovered your earlier post (above) with the photo taken in the early 90's of a tall ship with a C-Dory nearby. That shot reminded me of the first time I saw a C-Dory -- at least the first time I really noticed one, errr, well, actually there was more than one. This...

This might have to be a future project! Please keep us posted on how you like it. From various posts I've read here I have come to the conclusion that some kind of treatment -- this stuff or closed-cell foam and carpet -- would be beneficial here in the waters off Anacortes, Washington. Heck...

Da Nag, I've researched the spot-light issue here, and 'for me' the mounting arrangement you've done looks like the way to go. It is nice to learn from the experience of you and everyone else on this board! Just think of all the holes you all have saved -- NO, no, no, those holes that would...

Wow! I just got home and found all these replies -- thanks! When I posted this topic, I almost added that I also hoped to eventually add a remote spot-light to the bow handrail. I've already been looking at the pros and cons of where to mount a spot light -- and I'm glad there was so much...

I'm NOT a morning person, and will probably find myself coming-in after dark a lot. I'll be working with Tanner on the design of a radar arch for my new boat, and was wondering about installing some flood lights on the arch to assist in docking and boarding. Since my only real C-Dory...

Spoke to Jeff today and was informed that my boat would go into the mold Thursday, April 21st. This was GOOD to hear, since the last week or so has been rather frustrating -- while much of my frustration was not related to the boat, the boat issue seemed to build through the week. The factory...
