    Attaching metal racks to roof rails

    I just bought a Yakima rack to put on Morning Star. I am using the Rail Grab towers that have a clamp that tightens around the roof rails. I got it primarily to carry our kayaks using Yakima Bow Down cradles. These cradles are primarily made of plastic. Check out the Rail Grab towers at...

    Great Loop

    Mike, The tower on the beach between the Navarre Beach bridge and the entrance to the narrows is an early warning radar that is part of the Eglin Air Force Base complex. It is huge and built to withstand the worst that hurricanes can throw at it. Glad that y'all are enjoying Bay Towne. Yep, as...

    New C-Dory Owner

    Welcome. Sounds like you went through a similar decision making process that my wife and I did recently. We bought our 2008 CD 26 for much the same reasons that you list and we love it. The pilothouse is great and really extends the use of the boat even down here in north Florida. Enjoy the...

    C-Dory Owner's Manuals

The 26 has a little more v forward to cut the chop and improve...

    Four Wheel Drive ?

    Just another opinion.....I have had both 2WD and 4WD trucks for towing boats in the past. I only needed the 4WD a couple of times, and of course, that was when I was in a 2WD truck. I haul my CD-26V with a 1500 Suburban 4WD. When I put the boat in yesterday, it was low-low tide. The bottom of...

    Everyone, say, "Hi, Tom!"

    Hey Tom, I recently went through the struggle of changing from cruising under sail to cruising under power. Warning, this is quite a long dissertation. I sailed many boats for 40 years and always identified myself as a sailor. The transition took some time--after our 38 foot Catalina was...
