I have a 2003 16 ft CD cruiser that I usually keep garaged. When at sea or when washing it on its trailer however, spray water will pool inside the boat until I dry it out. Some of the rivets attaching the seat platform and side wall to the floor have sheared off over the years. It occurred...

Hello C-Brats with big CDs you take to sea.... When I bought my 16 ft C-Dory ("C-Pup16 in Los Angeles") in 2003, I wanted a survival raft to save my wife and me from a sinking/capsize crisis at sea. Being a newbie, I ordered a Givens off-shore survival raft in the photo linked below. It is in...

C-Dories are great boats, but don't try these seas in yours! (It's New Zealand) https://www.facebook.com/video.php?v=56 ... =2&theater

Given the sporadic ran and the fact I have no space in the V-bert to sleep with the dingy shoved in there, I'll get a last nigh of sleep in my bed and go to the marina around 5:00 AM to launch. After washing the trailer, I'll see who needs waking up and has something good cooking for breakfast...

If anyone is leaving from Marina del Rey Monday Morning and would not mind running shotgun with me on little ol' C-Pup, I'd be grateful to cruise with you. I know the way but given my recent engine woes (which were supposedly fixed this past week), I would be glad for a sympathetic C-Dory to be...

Hi Phil, I was disabled last Sunday in the shipping lanes. Pretty scary. Lucky it was Sunday and no ships threatened me. I also had a clear, sunny day with flat seas, so swells or ship wake to roll me over. I had to wait three hours for Boat U.S. to tow me back to MdR. I kept drifting further...

You guys leave without C-Pup16 in your prop wash. An obligation at church arose for Sunday 8/3. I'll leave for the sting line that evening or Monday morning. See you there! Smooth cursing Sunday! I'm looking forward to the week! Hey... there's great foisting now. Warmer water has brought...

I live in Los Angeles but I will visit my parents at their Kezar Lake water front home in So Maine near Lovell sometime in July or August. I wondered if any C-Dory gathering is happening along the Maine coast and if a C-Doryman would like to take me on as crew to see the Maine coast? I have...

Looking for a 55+ housing development either with a marina or convenient to one for my C-Dory, or a boat ramp / storage facility, preferably in the west and preferably that has access to the ocean and fishing.

I bought my CD-16 cruiser in 2003 as a newbie to boating on the ocean. I cared enough for my wife to also buy a 4 man Givens survival raft in a duffel bag... much to the howls of laughter of old salts owning C-Dories who said I'd have to choose whether to carry the raft or my wife on such a...

I could float my boat on the fuel in this yacht's tank! Pretty cool look, so long as it's not heading in my direction! http://thelog.com/news/logNewsArticle.aspx?x=11212 There's a reason that small marina slips are disappearing as big yacht docks and anchorages expand.

California is great. I was catching one thresher shark after another in a drift off of Malibu north of Pepperdine Univ. in sight of bikini clad surfer girls and kayakers! Great entertainment for an old guy like me! [/img]

I saw a C-Dory center consol fishing boat at Catalina Sales on Bali Way in MDR. It was after 5:00 Saturday and they were closed, so I don't know the price or length but it is probably 22'. Nice boat for that style, great for bay fishing, but a cold and wet ride in the fog and wind blown spray...

Hi SoCal C-Brats & former C-Dogs, I post this as the owner of C-Pup16 in Los Angeles. C-Pup16 has now become the President's Flagship for the Marina Del Rey Anglers Club in Los Angeles. See http://www.mdranglers.com/ I am that fishing club's president for 2007 and would welcome you C-Dory...

The thought occurred to me that removing the bow deck window hatch might allow me to install a winlass and anchor rode well at that location. Has anyone with a 16 ft cruiser done this? Keith

Considering a larger boat... anyone interested in C-Pup? Price depends on equipment retained or removed (radar, dual lowrance color chart plot/sfish finder units, radio etc.) Photos at: http://www.c-brats.com/modules.php?set_ ... _album.php Contact: kdager@earthlink.net type C-Pup in subject...

Anyone interested in meeting up at the Isthmus Thursday and hoop-netting bugs that night and the next? If not the Isthmus, then MDR & parts north say, Pt. Dume & anchor in Paradise Cove? Keith, C-Pup

Seems simple. Go to my album and click the pull-down menu to "add photo"... but it won't do that for me tonight. What have I forgotten to do? Keith, C-Pup

Hello C-Brats and former C-Dogs! I'm Keith on C-Pup located in Los Angeles, CA. I usually launch my 16 foot cruiser from Marina Del Rey on weekends before dawn to fish the Point Dume & Malibu area. C-Pup has radar which helps in the fog or dark. When too lazy to leave that early, I wake...

I recommend to SoCal fishermen two books by Captain Mark Wisch: "Between Two & Twenty Fathoms" (fishing Palos Verdes & Long Beach) and "In The Gray" (fishing Catalina Island for yellowtail and WSB) and a book by Mike Gardner: "Fish Have No Hands" (fishing bays & estuaries in SoCal) Tight lines...
