    history of 18 footer

    Great to get back to our wonderful Nation. Came back to a frantic flurry of frustration and confusion as my flight from Bush Houston to ft lauderdale FL was canceled as were all flights. Also missed my boat ride aboard NCL Escape from 7-14Jan17. I sure needed the rest after meeting the rest of...

    Heartland Boating C-Dory article

    Great article Bill. I sold Jabez in 2003 so more than likely trip was in either 2001 or 2002. Thanks for leaving out the part about me hitting the big metal channel bouye that had drifted cross channel due to the previous weeks high waters. Man that was a very dark night and was April the...

    Looking for Toland family history and beginning of the C-Dory history....or Marben Marine as they were called possibly in their early days. Any help? Own again the last 18' C-Dory made, hull #14 and just wanted to put together some documented company and family history. Thanks.

    Using our C-Dory 25 as our RV towing cross country

    Enjoy your trip. In order I have enjoyed Cracker Barrel, WalMart, a Church where I had been a member, and Truck Stops...but a lot of trucks and noise there. We started a C-Brat Gathering in Mt. Juliet TN with 6-8 boats in a local camp ground due to a weather change...15-30mph winds and temps...

    Rosborough, C-Dory, Rosborough, C-Dory....oh the tough calls

    Have had the pleasure of traveling on both the CD25s & RF-246's. Post 1997 I believe is the year that Bob changed the RF-246 hull...in that..the keel was much deeper & wider. The post 1997 changes were basically made as to allow Bob Rosborough to build a great 25' working hull capable of...
