We fell in love with DeFever's. The 53PH is one of the classic trawlers that DeFever drew up in the 60's. It's been a fantastic boat - we've put about 20,000 nm on it going back and forth to the Bahamas, Keys, and back home to Maine a few times. I'm now very interested in the C-Ranger 25 Tug...

...blue with new Local Knowledge markers that is... Last night I released the Local Knowledge marker type for ActiveCaptain (http://www.activecaptain.com). Although there are more than 30 different categories of markers, only bridges, locks, dams, and ferries have been enabled right now. I...

I made the map snippet above to help show people where things are in Castine in case you're not familiar. Don't park on the town dock - you'll get a ticket after 2-3 hours. Instead, park on the street. There is free parking available for trailers at the MMA parking lot on Stevens Street.

High tide in Castine on 7/15 is at 12:28 pm. We have 10 foot tides here. The public ramp is right at the town dock. It's a pretty good ramp. If you let me know when you'll be there, I'll be around.

I'm here all the time - any date is good for me and my wife.

I have a very large mooring in Smith's Cove capable of holding a raft up of C-Dory's (my boat displaces 75,000 lbs). It has a 10,000 lb granite rock with 3/4" brand new chain. I'm interested in getting a C-Dory or C-Ranger and would love to host an afternoon/overnight gathering so I can...

Thanks for your reply Jeff. It's excellent that someone from the manufacturer can give direct responses. Thanks for the info. What about the injectors and sound level? Does the engine have to be removed to get at that one injector beneath the door? Also, you most certainly have done sound...

Thanks for all of the good info. I've learned a lot. I was thinking that a trailer extension might take all of the issues out of launching the tug - just need to find one strong enough. You probably meant the Maptech waterproof books. I've sort of been working for a few years on ways of...

I have seen that one. It seems to document marinas but doesn't talk a lot about the boat ramps. I'd sort of like to see something that gives locations, size of boat launching possible, fees, parking, etc.

Thanks for the replies. I had a feeling that the blue hull covering was gelcoat. I also couldn't believe that gray water was getting fed into the holding tank. I can see how the Yanmar 110 will produce less noise and that an extra battery solves the thruster problem. I'm sure that there are...

I traveled to see a C-Ranger 25 tug for the first time (along with a CD-25 and a TC-255). I really liked the tug. It was hull #1 and I wonder how much has changed. The salesperson wasn't sure about a couple of things and I'm wondering if anyone can answer a couple of things: 1. Does it come...

I've been considering dinghy issues with the R-25. I'm wondering if anyone has ever used: http://www.hurleymarine.com/index.html ...on these boats. It seems like a pretty nice idea if it holds up to vibration, etc. There's a video on the home page that shows how it works. I'm wondering what...

Well, I said 3-5 for a single coat. It would take a couple of coats. Still, at $3 a pop, that is very little. I did a pretty large area last year with multiple coats and used 2 cartridges. Nah, that's the old way. It honestly is much simpler with fewer steps today. Today you mix the...

I'm going to jump into the fray here. I've been lurking on the site because of my CD, TC, and C-Ranger interest. I have a fair amount of gelcoat experience and thought I'd chime in with what I know. I was taught by an expert boat paint and finish guy who showed me how simple it all is...

I guess I understand that the way the original posting came in was offensive. It was the user's first posting and it might have seemed like there was some subversive attempt to get free publicity for another web site. It wasn't like that at all. In fact, the only reason that I wrote my follow...

It is most probably your internet security settings. They aren't allowing enough of these Web 2.0 capabilities to work. I have my Internet Security set at Medium-High. There is a possibility that firewall settings are blocking it too. It could also be virus protection. There are a variety...

I checked it and it is working fine. It uses Flash but if you got tabs displayed at the top, Flash is working. Perhaps you should try register again. Out of 2,000 users, there have been about 10 who have had problems because their security was set too high for a Web 2.0 application like this.

I honestly don't understand why ActiveCaptain has this effect on some people. The exact same thing happened when it first went live. panbo.com is a pretty well respected blog on marine electronics. Refer to: http://www.panbo.com/yae/archives/001492.html To answer your questions: - We only...

Tom told me that he was going to make a posting about ActiveCaptain. I went to check it out and found your questions. I'm the owner of the site and I'm happy to answer them all. ActiveCaptain uses cookies as a way to handle registration and login. This is a very standard way to do this type...
