My two granddaughters enjoy the boat. The dinette table's corners always seemed too sharp and at just the right height to do damage to a 3 or 8 year old as they scramble and rock about the cabin. The old table was used as a pattern and a new rounded corner version was glued and screwed together...

Levity's helm seat cooler was never used as a cooler. The space inside the cooler was used as a storage locker. It served fairly well for storage except it wasted a lot of the space available under the helm seat. The wasted space wasn't enough to inspire me to remove the cooler but the leaking...

A Garmin 4210 with radar was added to Levity last May. A KVH 1000 heading sensor has now been added to provide target aquisition in radar cruising mode. The single ended NMEA 0183 compliant device wiring instructions found in Garmin's installation documemt # 190-00779-02 Rev.D January 2008 were...

I installed a Garmin 4210 Plotter with a GMR18 HD Radar and a GSD 22 Sounder on Levity. The installation was simple enough once the Garmin network concept became clear. The 4210, if installed using the mounting bracket supplied, will cover half of the helmsman's field of vision when looking...

Allow me to share performance results for an aluminum Solas 15X3 four blade prop on my 22 with a 90 hp Honda 4 stroke. The three blade it was compared to was a 15x 3.5 aluminum. Based on speed log comparisons the 4 blade drove the boat the same speeds at the same RPM (within .1 nmh or so more or...

Towed the 22 after 4 months storage. Inflated the tires to 50 PSI cold. Ambient air was 40F. Boat has normal load, full fuel tanks, empty water tank, all the usual gear. There was a perceptable increase in the resistance of the package being towed. Running on the same route, the truck had to be...

A breezy experience last week caused me to seek a method using wind velocity and fetch to predict wave heights. Is there such a formula? A reasonably accurate prediction could help with a go/no go decision. What is the most accurate method of estimating wave height from the helm? Seems that...

It is amazing to see the number of boats that never leave the dock. The Chesapeake is home to thousands of boats. With holiday weekends an exception, relatively few boats are encountered while underway. There is an established relationship between boat size and frequency of use. What other...

Hi Folks, Has anyone tried an enzymatic fuel tank cleaner like Star*Tron tank cleaner? A full description can be found at www.starbrite.com. This seems too good to be true. Perhaps the chemists amongst us will offer their learned opinions concerning this type of product. Thanks, Mike 'Levity'

Safety Lanyards are those spiral wires which connect to an engine kill switch at the rear of a throttle and gearshift control body. Do you clip the lanyard to your wrist, clothing, or PFD when operating your C-Dory? Mike 'Levity'

Hi all, Levity has had a forward facing seat conversion. The original seat box was removed, the bottom 7 inches cut off to be used as a base frame for the new seat box and deck. A forward end and port side were constructed to make the box fully enclosed as the original lacked this enclosure...

Hi All, C-Dorys are widely dispersed across many boating waters. The weather encountered by skippers in different regions must make for differnt "NO GO' decision criteria. What weather conditions warrant a 'NO GO' decision in your primary boating waters? Thanks, Levity's Michael

Hi Folks, Levity is equipped with 150' of chain attached to the Danforth. There is a large stainless cleat positioned on the centerline of the bow and it seems the logical place to tie the anchor off once deployed. However, wrapping the chain around this stainless cleat doesn't seem right as...

Gentlemen, When attempting to download photos to the album the following message appears ;"Windows cannot find the site you are searching for" or something to that effect. Any suggestions? Please speak slowly and loudly as doing so may help me to understand one tenth of what is necessary to...

Hello Folks, Levity was ordered with a canvas camper back from the dealer. The camper back and the main stainless support frame arrived a few weeks after the boat was delivered. The dealer had never put a camper back on and suggested I have it done at a local canvas installer. My local canvas...

Hi All, Ahybody have any idea why a new tandem trailer with less than 500 miles on it would throw grease around the inside of a rim? Would appreciate your knowledge and experience. Thanks, Levity's Michael

Hi All, Would appreciate some info on cruising the Potomac from DC south to the Chesapeake. How long should this take? What are the best places to put in around DC and take out at the Chesapeake? THanks, Levity's Michael On edit by Da Nag Looks like this is shaping up as a cruise - added to...

Levity is ready to have her pictures posted but Levity's Michael can't figure out how to get the job done! Please tell me how to open a new album and add photos to it in the future. Thanks. Levity's Michael :xtongue
