    Enlarging "chain locker" on a CD 16 Cruiser

    My 16 is a 2003 formerly known as Litl' Tug. It has an easily removed plywood bulkhead behind which is the bow with two large blocks of foam, a small plywood shelf and a tine locker area above it.

    Enlarging "chain locker" on a CD 16 Cruiser

    Your comments and the others are very helpful. Since I'm using DB now, I'll stick with it for the short while. I just opened the locker and removed the shelf. There were two large chunks of foam haphazardly jammed in there. I took them out and (with a serrated bread knife) cut about 756 cubic...

    Enlarging "chain locker" on a CD 16 Cruiser

    I just checked and I do have 3/8 double braided line not 1/2. Still not enough room in the chain locker for my gear. I'm going to play around with removing the tiny horizontal shelf and the floatation foam. Also going to replace hauser pipe. I plan to camp a lot and hate dragging at 3:00 am.

    Enlarging "chain locker" on a CD 16 Cruiser

    Looking at the tiny space called a "chain locker" I'm wondering if anyone has cut out some of the flotation in the bow to enlarge the locker? I need to stow 125' of line and 6' of chain. Present locker is too tight & I'm afraid the line will jam as I try to pay it out.. Many thanks.

    Looking for a used C-Dory 16 Cruiser

    Having trouble finding a C-Dory 16 Cruiser. Getting out of sailing after many years and just do want to get off the water. I appreciate the salty look and minimalism of the boat. Does any one know of one for sale within 1500 miles of Florida?
