    SV Panope Anchor Testing

    As was recommended here, I checked out the anchor test videos by YouTuber Steve Goodwin. His channel, named after his boat, is SV Panope: https://www.youtube.com/@Panope I was interested in the 20lb anchor tests (doubtful I'd get one that big, but it was closer to my world than the 45lb tests)...

    MOLLE / PALS panels for storage (borrowing from Jeeps / Overlanders / military)

    Much to my surprise, there is not a single mention (per the search anyways) of MOLLE or PALS panels on this forum (said, "molly" like the name). Although the letters don't line up, MOLLE stands for "modular lightweight load-carrying equipment"-- the "O" must have been added; PALS = pouch...

    Hydrogeneration for Batteries?

    EDIT: turns out they’re thousands of dollars, lol. Closing that tab forever! Morning. Has anyone ever experimented with hydrogeneration aboard a C-Dory for the purposes of charging a battery bank? My “only a couple minutes” searching online said anything being driven by a propeller will lose...

    Double-checking My Planned but Minimal Battery Upgrade

    I'm replacing my 6hp gas kicker with an EP Carry electric outboard, ordered just yestearday. This is basically a 270W highly efficient motor (motor/gear/prop/no seals = efficiency max), which matches a Torqueedo 603 in terms of propulsive power but using half the energy to do so, and with all...

    Photo Request: 22 Extended Bimini Aft Curtain

    Hello. I’ve been browsing the photo albums and searching for pictures of how the aft curtain(s) attach on a 22 cockpit enclosure / camper canvas / camperback which extends behind the lazarettes. The canvas maker I’ve chosen for my bimini says that he will only make one with the back all on the...

    22 Bridge Clearance / Air Draft on Water with Various Roof Mounts

    While I wait for the 36” of snow from last week’s storm to melt, and my new-to-me bare bones 22 is wrapped in the backyard, I am reading about various low weight uses for the roof: radar arches and masts (folding and not), fender storage, dinghy storage (inflated and not), kayaks, cargo racks...

    Add steering to existing 9.9 kicker plus add electric for dinghy, or remove and use electric for both?

    Hi. I read enough posts about this subject to know such a decision will vary based on the individual, but wanted to ask if I’m being silly. Last summer I bought a 2005 22 cruiser which came with a 2019 Honda 90 and a similar vintage (haven’t actually checked the year to verify) Suzuki 9.9hp...

    77’ Aluminum Yacht for $125k

    Like a party game… would you rather have a new C-Dory 22 for $125k or this 77’ motor yacht for $125k https://www.facebook.com/share/1BpgPnR1 ... tid=wwXIfr Obviously there’s fuel and storage costs etc., but you could use an Angler 16 as a tender :)

    Most Pages Down?

    Is anyone else having problems accessing most of the website? I’d say one in ten search results will open. I know there was talk of a lockdown due to an attack, but haven’t been able to find any mention of this. The irony for me is it didn’t happen until after I bought a C-Dory! I really miss...

    "Our C-Dorys" Limited to 19 Results Pages (?)

    The "Our C-Dorys" page seems to have a limit of 19 pages (3600-3800 boats), which is not all of the boats. If you sort by State, descending (ie, Z to A), the list starts at "Y" and ends [partially?] through "NY". When sorted ascending (ie, A to Z), it starts at AB and ends at ID-- skipping...

    RI Family of 4 (kids ages 4 & 2) WTB 22 or 25 Cruiser

    Hi. Looking for a 2000+ model year 22 or 25 with 4-stroke(s), trailer, front-facing co-pilot (/barber chair), and ideally also an enclosure. Prefer molded interior and non-screwed gas tank cleats, but flexible on those. No red or green hulls/interiors unless a "screaming deal", and even then...

    Adding to the "Wet Core" Tally

    Just passing along for posterity... I’m in the market for a used 22 cruiser, and I looked one over today that’s for sale and brought a moisture meter. Red lights and fast beeping— which indicates greater than 70% moisture— all across the transom, gas tank area, cockpit, aft sole in the cabin...
