Thanks Ken, I have enjoyed visiting your site and appreciate all that you have done to keep it up and running. Have a great time with your new toy. Somehow, I think your upcoming visits to NAPA will be much less expensive than our regular visits to West Marine! Best Regards, Leo

Happy Birthday Jon! Now you can officially join AARP and get your senior discount when you go out to dinner. Have a great Birthday! Best Regards, Leo.

Dear Mike and Bill, I admire the restraint and patience you exhibited throughout this thread. I don't think the devisive issue was Mr. Stuberg's selection of a boat as much as it was his boorish behavior on this site. I, for one am glad you "pulled the plug" on Mr. Stuberg and his inept social...

Hi Joe, Thanks for the brief bio on Mr Fleming. Brock- the house is done and we have moved in. The landscaping and garage are the next phases, then I can think about getting another boat. In the mean time I still have my canoe and inflatable to get out on the water inbetween work and house...

Hey Brock, It is good to hear your virtual voice. Who is this Alexander Flemming guy? Does he own a C-Dory or a Cape Cruiser? Best Regards, Leo.

Hi Mark, Thanks for presenting what took place with the sale of C-Dory Inc. assets to C-Dory Marine. This should clear up a lot of speculation and misinformation that we have read on these threads. You have probably figured out by now that we are passionate about the boats designed and built...

Hi C-Brats, I have attended several C-Brat/C-Dogs (remembet the C-Dogs?) gatherings with my Toland 18-8 and was welcomed by the C-Dory owners, even though my boat was not technically a C-Dory. The C-Dogs are such a nice group of folks, that I could have shown up in a Bayliner Trophy or an Arima...

Hi C-Brats, I had no trouble selling my Toland 18-8, even though there were only 12 of them made. I consigned the boat with Les and Cathy at E.Q. Marine and they had it sold quickly. Before I consigned with Les, I was getting phone calls from all over the west coast just based on my C-Brat...

Two Microsoft employees took the day off to go fishing. They borrowed Catman's 16' angler (Bambina) and launched it at Des Moines Marina. Trolling over by Point Robinson, having the right flasher and herring combo on their lines, they reached their limit in 45 minutes! One of the guys pulled...

Hi C-Brats, This thread has stirred up plenty of speculation, emotion, negativity, and self-righteous judgements. Having owned a Toland 18-8, I can say there are enough distinct differences from a C-Dory to call it a similar style, but not identical. I admire anyone that has the guts to begin...

Hi C-Brats, So what ever happened to EGNSTO? Best Regards, Leo.

Hi C-Brats, I discovered that we are not the only ones fanatical about our boats. I came accross a cool website this weekend: http://www.fiberglassics.com These guys are finding and restoring classic fiberglass boats from the 50's and 60's. The thing I find a bit frightening is that I...

Hi C-Brats, Stopped by the Cape Cruiser factory today to see what was going on. They have their 23' model on display out in front. Had a good visit with Ben Toland while poking around their display model. It is obvious after a few minutes of discussion that he is passionate about good...

Hey Joe (Sea Wolf) and all of you C-Brats, I purchased my Toland 18-8 new in the fall of 1997. Mark Toland was still running C-Dory at the time. The story I heard was that Ben Toland Left C-Dory and went on his own to design and produce the Toland 18-8. I was told that 12 of these boats...

So is there any word on when this boat will be available for viewing? Leo

Hi C-Brats, I did a lot of agonizing between a 22' C-Dory and the Toland 18-8 before I made my purchase. At the time, C-Dory was building only 22' and 16' models, during the last years of the Toland family ownership. The upgraded fit and finish of the Toland 18-8 was the tipping point...

Hi C-Brats, I owned a Toland 18-8 for 6-1/2 years and it was a wonderful boat. Ben is an artist when it comes to his design and tooling skills. I can't tell from the photos how the hull shape compares to a C-Dory, but I do see the C-Dory heritage with the bow and house. Great looking boat...

I had two different sailboats back in the late 80's to early 90's. First one was a 14' C-Lark that I owned for one year. Moved up to a Sea Pearl 21 for 5 years. Discovered an interesting thing about sailing in Puget Sound: When you want to go north, the wind is from the north. As soon as...

Hi C-Brats, It seems like a trend is starting with owners of 22' C-Dories moving up to 25' C-Dories. It might be worthwhile for C-Dory to start planning on building 28', 31', and 34' C-Dories to keep three-foot-itis in the C-Dory Family. Best Regards, Leo. (currently inbetween boats)
