    Race to Alaska

    The race is back on this year and a few weeks ago the guys in charge visited our (Ketchikan) Rotary club. It was fun and informative. It sounds like a good race this year. They already had 48 entries as of 3 weeks ago! One change is that they are eliminating the first check-in waypoint on...

    Update to core rot and removal.

    This is an update on my rotten core and seat box delamination post and a link to another Vimeo video showing my progress. https://vimeo.com/416142754 Today I removed the port side seat box and discovered why (I think) the seat boxes came loose from the floor. On my year CD 16, the foot rests...

    floor cracking around seatboxes and flexing in v-berth area

    I am in need of some serious advice. I am in Ketchikan, Ak and have a 2008 CD16 cruiser that is having an issue with the top layer of fiberglass on the floor delaminating. I first noticed hairline cracks where the port side seat box is glassed down to the floor several years ago. Over time it...

    Seat box on 16 delaminating

    While fishing this weekend I threw some water in the boat to wash out blood and noticed that there was a crack running down the floor between the seat boxes. After a fast few seconds of total panic I inspected closely and saw it was at the edge of the port seat box where it is attached to the...

I had already put the boat in the water, but planned to...

    GPS advice sought

    The C-dory I bought from Washington has a 2008 model Lowrance LMS 525c df unit on it. Of course the charts installed are for USA West. I looked up compatibility and everything I saw indicated that the Navionics Gold for Canada and Southeast Alaska would work in it. I ordered one from TigerGPS...

    16 cruiser seat

    I'm a bit ashamed to say that I have not actually gotten out on the water in my new boat, but I did get it to my house, removed the Washington numbers and put mine on. That was a pain. I have been sitting in it off and on and noticed that it really bothers me not to be able to swivel all the...

    Baby steps...

    Thought I'd share that I picked up my boat from the barge last evening and towed it to a co-workers lot. My grandson, whom I'm watching while his folks are out of town, helped me. But he's not even three so I'm counting this as my first solo adventure. It was an adventure because when my...

    Found my dory!

    I posted a while ago on the C-dory Wanted forum and thought I'd update to say: I found one! I was going to wait til I had it in my possession and could post a picture before announcing, but I got too excited! It is a 2008 16 cruiser like new that I found in Port Orchard, WA. I was trying...
