    A new "Thataway"

    My v-berth is now all 'RV type' carpet, top, bottom, and sides, huge improvement. I then made a lattice out of cedar strips to go underneath the mattress for more air flow. No more condensation. Martin.

    Finally, I'm buying a cdory

    I loved twin 40s. Turn the boat on a dime. So easy to maneuver in tight marina's. Martin.

    Finally, I'm buying a cdory

    My 2008 4-stroke Yamaha 40s were carbureted. The fuel injected models for Yamaha outboards that size came out in 2009 I believe. So with the Honda's, maybe it's just an age thing. Martin.

    Hi Greg and the girls, also fellow brats, After 6 consecutive years of attending the FH gathering we are going to miss this year. We had contemplated attending in our present boat and catch up with old friends and enjoy the fun of a weekend with the most special people afloat. Andrea had the...

    A new "Thataway"

    Congrats you two. I do not know you, we have never met, and maybe never will. But when you have something to say, or in my case, read. It is time well spent. Martin.

    Spot Light

    In 6 years of owning a C-Dory I only turned on my spot light once. That was when the wind picked up during the night while at anchor. I had a roof mounted light. Nice that it was out the way but limits what you can do if you are putting a dink on the roof. Bow mounted light does not look...

    Do any brats use marine charts?

    Like a lot of boaters, I carry paper charts because I already have them. They live in my chart drawer, never see the light of day as I use my electronic chart plotter. Reassuring to still have them in case of electronics failure. Martin. 2011 to 2017 22' C-Dory 2017 to present Camano Troll...

    Condensation Problem in a 22 Cruiser.

    Greg mentioned it. Put some v-berth portholes in, Pt & Stbd, and get some cross flow air in. Bet you see an improvement. Martin.

    It finally happened to me..FOG AT NIGHT

    My C-Dory now has a new mum & dad, but once a Brat, always a Brat. When I had Nomad, I was a firm believer in keeping it simple (and saving money). I never had radar, auto-helm, or shore power. Now on my new boat I have all three and luv 'em. If you are on a budget, pick out one to install...

    Went to the Boats Afloat Show

    Very true. Once a brat, always a brat. In fact my elementary school teacher instilled that into me when I was only 6 years old :lol: Martin.

    Went to the Boats Afloat Show

    Congrats Caryn and Peter. Looks a lovely boat. I am surprised the number of C-Brats that I know who got 'bigger-itis'. In no particular order, Nordic Tugs, Ranger Tugs, and Camano Trolls, seem very popular at the moment. We really enjoyed our C-Dory, maybe me a bit more than the Admiral...

    My new boat (part 4!)

    Beautiful boat Jason, congrats. I did the same as you. Got my Camano Troll six weeks ago. Love the luxury and she is so easy to drive. Once a C-Brat always a C-Brat. Martin.

    Gulf Islands Advice

    Conover Cove, on Walker, would also be good, although it is very popular and getting a campsite might be chancy. I do not remember campsites at Conover Cove, Wallace Island. Campers seemed to pitch their tents with any bit of level grass of their choosing. Martin.

    Gulf Islands Advice

    I agree. Conovor Cove on Wallace Island is #1. There is a small parks dock for 8 or 9 boats. If that is full, you can anchor to the left or right of the dock (as you approach) using a stern tie. Martin.

    Fish & Chips

    Harvey, the best fish & chipper ever in the whole world is a little chipper by the Firth of Forth road bridge in Scotland. Bit of a long run for a C-Dory :lol: Martin.

    07/14 - 07/16 - Powell River BC, Canadian CBGT

    Such a shame we will miss you guys. Tree (Sandy) Island is a very popular spot for us if we are just out for a night or two. Friday morning we are putting on our smog masks and heading for the interior. Have fun. Martin and Andrea.
