    2022 Chesapeake Bay Gathering (?)

    Yes John, my family and I did the Great Loop in 2001/2002 on Sawdust, our custom 43 footer. I wrote a series of stories about the trip for Motorboat magazine (no longer in business.) I later wrote a number of stories about downsizing to a C-Dory Tom Cat for Soundings and then several cruising...

    2022 Chesapeake Bay Gathering (?)

    We would love to join fellow C-Dory owners. May is a great time to be on the Chesapeake Bay. July and August can be extremely hot and humid. We have a couple of guest slips at our home in downtown St. Michaels and are near two marinas that often host large gatherings. St. Michaels is a...

    Great Harbor TT35

    First, my disclaimer: I know Ken Fickett, owner of Great Harbour Trawlers and Eric Kraft, Sales Manager quite well and have been consulted from the beginning on the TT35. We should not confuse the Great Harbour TT (trailerable trawler) with the Great Harbour Trawlers such as the N37, GH37...

    Beware of Burgee Shoppe.com

    After threatening Burgee.com with a mail fraud report, I received my two C-Dory burgees on July 5th. They were ordered on March 21st. So, case closed. In the meantime i'm looking forward to my new C-Brat burgee. :roll:

    Beware of Burgee Shoppe.com

    Yes, thanks for the suggestion. A couple of days ago i sent an e-mail saying i would do so, and he actually responded saying he was out of the country and would "check into it" when he returned on July 1. If i don't get my refund within the next 7-days, I'll head for my local post office with...

    Beware of Burgee Shoppe.com

    Years ago I ordered a couple of C-Dory burgees from Herb and received them within 30-days. This past March I ordered two more replacements, sending him a check for $124. He claimed he had various set-up and handling fees, but since I was happy with my previous order, I agreed to the price...

    Who is interested in a 2015 Upper Chesapeake gathering??

    Are any C-Brats planning to get together on the Chesapeake Bay this summer? Based in Annapolis, we could head north or south....although the Upper Bay would be free of jelly fish. Most of August is good for us.

    Dutch Harbor to Kodiak

    I just returned from Dutch Harbor after joining Tony Fleming aboard his Fleming 65 in Sand Point on Popof Island. We took four days to get to Dutch Harbor from Sand Point cruising at 10 knots after waiting for a good WX window. Dutch is interesting, as it is a thriving fishing port...

    Thinking of Heading Off-Shore (70 miles) in C-Dory 25

    You may want to read "A Crew of One" by Carlos Bentos available on Amazon. He fished this area for years all by himself on his Bertram 35 and actually won the White Marlin Open in 1996. It's a wonderful read and it would give you some valuable insight on what to expect.

    looking for temporary storage

    Check out Isle of Hope Marina outside of Savannah. They have room to store boats on trailers and are easy to work with. Call Chris Hodges, one of the managers.

    We are definitely interested and would be free to participate in August. The Sassafras River is a favorite of ours....great anchorages and marinas. We're based in Annapolis and will stay tuned.

    What are the REAL TomCat 255 performance numbers.....PLEASE!

    Our 2009 TomCat w/Suzuki 150s fully loaded with inflatable and kayaks on roof can reach 38 knots at WOT. Usually cruise at 4000 rpm/22-24 knots burning 11-12 gph. Permatrims help achieve planning at lower speeds...can cruise as low as 15 knots. Boat was set up by Marc at Wefings, who seems to...

    tomcat 255 questions

    OK with up to 6 adults for a day trip...but it will be a bit tight. We take 6 of us out for harbor cruises and afternoons of anchoring...it's a bit tight in the cockpit...but no one ever complains. 150s are ideal...anything less and you're running the engines a bit hard to maintain cruising...

    Free TomCat Cushions Available

    OK, I will keep you in mind in case the shipping costs are too high for the first responder. Not sure yet how to pack these…. After getting a price for a custom fit mattress of about $1800, we bought an "InnerSpace RV Mattress" on Amazon for $249. It's called a "short queen" and it fits...
