Happy Birthday Dusty We appreciate all of the wit, wisdom, and experience you bring to this group! Best Regards, Leo,

Hi C-brats, Visited a local RV dealer recently and saw some huge "toy haulers". You could probably put a 14' or 16' C-Dory on a trailer in the cargo bay of the toy hauler instead of the typical ATV's and dirt bikes. With this combo you could pull both your boat and RV. The combined weight...

Hi C-Brats, Glad to see this river trip is becoming a C-Brat tradition. Still busy with the house project, so boating has been limited to a few short trips in the inflatable dinghy. Dave, it is a smart move to check on the tide levels this year. Those low bidges were a bit too close to the...

One of the biggest thrills I have had was taking a 10' inflatable with an 8hp outboard through Deception Pass. The word "MAYTAG" kept going through my mind! I didn't feel in danger with my low center of gravity and abundant floatation, but it is a little strange to be rotated 180 degrees while...

SOLD! My hat is off to Les and Kathy of EQ Marine for the great job they did with marketing and selling my boat. I hope to have an opportunity to work with them again when I am buying instead of selling. Best Regards, Leo.

Happy Birthday Dave! You are the youngest 60 year old guy I know! Wishing you the best year yet with plenty of calm seas and great adventures on the new Sea Shift. Best Regards, Leo.

Having recently cleaned out my garage and moved, I have accumulated several boxes of nautical treasures that might be of value to some of you. I still have some artifacts from a sailboat I owned 11 years ago! The best boater's swap meets are the fall and spring ones sponsored by 48 North...

Hi Ken, Thanks for posting the interior photo. I am taking the boat up to EQ Marine tomorrow. Les has done a great job on his web site describing this boat! I am still amazed how Ben Toland was able to design an 18'-8" boat with 6'-2" headroom and create such a graceful profile. I promised...

Hi C-Brats, I have had a lot of interest from on this boat, with better results from my C-Brat ad than with the Seattle Times. Have recieved calls from as far away as Ellisbille, Mo! Once I take the boat up to EQ, I have a feeling it will move quickly. I discovered my blue blazer and white...

Hi C-Brats, For those of you interested in viewing this boat, it will be on display soon at E.Q. Harbor Service on north Whidbey Island. You can reach Les or Kathy at www.eqmarine.com or call (360) 679-4783. Best Regards, Leo.

Hi C-Brats, I have had a lot of interest in my boat, but no takers yet. To sweeten the deal, I will throw in 5 gallons of propwash and my collection of back issues of Nor'Westing! Best Regards, Leo.

Hi C-Brats, The sale of this boat has been prompted by the following circumstances: 1. It looks like we will be building a new home this year, so my "spare" time is going to be taken up with "sweat equity". 2. As my two sons get older (and bigger) we are experiencing the "shrinking boat"...

This is a rare opportunity to own one of twelve Toland 18-8 cruisers. Designed and built by Ben Toland, one of the founding members and designers of C-Dory, this boat is similar in design and construction to a C-Dory, with additional detail and features. With an overall length of 18'-8", this...

Hi C-Brats, On January 1st, I make my list of boating goals for the new year. For 2004, I have several cruising destinations on my list that might also be potential C-Brat day cruises or overnight gatherings. #1. Willapa Bay. We would launch at the city park in Raymond, Wa. and head west...

Hi C-Brats, I have an architectural practice in West Seattle. The focus of my work is all types of single-family residential projects, including additons, remodels, and new homes. My projects are located all over the greater Puget Sound region. Most days, my work is very enjoyable and doesn't...

Hi Dave, Glad you made it! Had some last-minute work commitments that kept me on shore today. Did Eddie Cantor make the cruise? Best Regards, Leo.

Brock, So who the heck is Eddie Cantor? Did he own a C-Dory? Just Curious, Leo.

Hi C-Brats, I have the same Zodiac/West Marine 8'-6" roll-up inflatable dinghy as Rick, and I have been very pleased with it. I can single-handedly pick it up and place it on the cabin roof of my boat. I also have a Honda BF2 that works well with this boat. This dinghy also accompanies us...

Hi C-Brats, You might want to consider launching and parking at the DesMoines Marina, my home port. They have a sling launch, and a huge, well-lit parking lot striped for tow rigs and trailers. DesMoines to Gig Harbor is 50 to 70 minutes depending upon how windy it is and how fast you want to...

I am very thankful to be a part of this virtual yacht club! Thanks to all of you for making this a great site. Happy Thanksgiving, Leo and family.
