As we get older and life changes, we have to adapt. We have decided to swallow the anchor and sell our beloved C-Dory 25 Cruiser. I will be putting the info under the C-Dory's for sale heading below. As a retired yacht broker, I will be listing at my former brokerage site on Yacht World but I'm...

My new Cruising World came with a free copy of Power Cruising and there is an article ,by an ex neighbor of mine from Annapolis, George Sass. He discusses the benefits and life style of OUTBOARD power cruising in general but features his own boat among several others. He has a Tom Cat 255 with a...

I've procrastinated for a year and now it's getting to be time to get my new trailer. I have a CD 25 and it's kept at the dock so I haven't needed the trailer up until now. Does the factory or somebody else have the set of necessary measurements that a trailer guy needs. Width of bottom , length...

Any Brats have a Sea Tech trailer out of Miami? I've got several quotes on a new aluminum trailer and they are the lowest, and nobody else is close. They are quoting just under $4500 on a 7500# tandem with 4 wheel Kodiak ss disc brakes, elec over hydraulic, led lights, all stainless hardware...

We're going to take a week or two long cruise down to Miami - Key Largo- Islamorada area in Feb. We plan to spend a night or 2 on a mooring at Pennekamp State Park and the purpose for the trip is to have a shrimp salad on the beach at sunset at Loreli's in Islamorada. Looking for the Green...

I have a CD 25 with a Honda 135, with a 14 1/2 x 15 ss prop. My speed vs fuel consumption data does'nt compare to those published by Jim and others. Do I ha e the correct prop?

IF someone wanted to use a CD 25 like an Albin 25 or 27 as a 25' Trawler speed cruiser , how would you power it. What hp do you think it takes to cruise at 6-8 kts (displacement speeds) with a top speed of 10-12 or something but maximum economy at 6-8 kt cruise. I'm thinking it might be...

We got our CD 25 about 2 months ago and have it (at the dock) ready to travel. Shake down cruise is being planned as we speak. I also recently found and acquired a tow vehicle. Now I'm starting the search for a trailer. I think I want a tandem axle aluminum with about 10,000 lb capacity. I'm...

It seems that every time I get going on a project I hear the same noise. "Hey, is this your boat? What kind is it? Oh, a Cape Dory huh?" I don't seem to be able to get an hour of work in without having to stop and chat and show the boat. Every project now has to have the "Chat" factor built...

I'm trying to figure out if my cockpit floor was re done in the past. It is solid but the finish is sort of ugly. Did the factory cockpit floor have the same molded in non-skid pattern as the front and side decks or was it smooth with a finer painted on type of non-skid? Anyone have a pic of a...

I tried to call to order a set for my 25 but got a "phone number no longer in service" message. I assume they must be shut down since the fire and will try later. If anyone finds out a different number or source for a set of green logos, please let me know. Mine seem to have been removed by a...

I've searched the archives and read all that comes up. I'm switching to all chain rode with my 22 Delta. I mainly cruise Florida but want to trailer to other unknown locations (not PNW or Alaska). My windlass is set up for 1/4 inch and I would like 75-100 ft. of chain with 3 strand backup. 1/4...

This question is being asked out of innocent ignorance. Does anybody know if CD parts and decals and other aftermarket factory stuff was in the same building or if there is an office/store site that might have survived? I've been waiting to order some items until I was ready but would gladly...

Well it finally happened. Today we actually took possession of our own CD-25 "Alexander". It arrived on a trailer from up north. Now we just have to get a trailer and swap cars to get something to tow it with, but in the mean time we already had a nice ride and anchored out as we explored the...

Howdy, We've been gone a while but are back. We are readying our Mainship Pilot 30 and existing vehicle for sale, as well as preparing to buy a CD 25 and a tow vehicle as soon as they sell. The problem is that where we live (condo in Stuart Fl) doesn't allow pickup trucks and RV's to be parked...

Anybody else having trouble getting it to fill in after it opens?

I bought ($10) a hardcover copy of " River Horse" and have read it and would like to pass it on to another CD fan. It is in nearly like new condition and has photos and maps of the author's journey from the Atlantic Ocean across the US to the Pacific Ocean in a CD-22. It's a lot of fun. I will...

Would a nice CD 25 owner please let me know the vertical dimension between the floor and the house roof where the hatch is located down in the V berth area? Headroom for a short wife or not? Thanks, Bob

In our diesel inboard powered boats we had the ability to route heated water from the fresh water cooling system through the heat exchanger in the water heater so we had nice hot water at the end of each cruising day. I have never owned a big outboard engine powered craft and I was wondering if...
