Hey there all you Brats!! I know that it has been a while since you may have heard from us at the factory, a lot of exciting stuff for us this past year!!

Just wanted you all to know that we are excited to welcome those of you planning on attending the Bellingham rendezvous into the factory at 10 AM Saturday August 19th!! We enjoyed having you in last year and look forward to having you back!! Undoubtedly there will be some C Dory in production at that time!! Refreshments will be served!!

Thanks a lot!! Hopefully you are all enjoying this stretch of great weather on your vessels!!

Mark,

Thanks for opening up the shop for us on a Saturday, my wife and I look forward to meeting you then as well as next Friday when we come visit the Venture you are building for us. Also thanks for sending the build pics regularly, its nice to see her come together and the progress!

Mark, looking forward to the tour again this year. We really appreciate you opening up your doors and offering this to the C-Brat community, and on your day off too! See you in a few weeks.

Highly recommend Mark's tour to everyone in the area if you've not done the factory tour before - even if you can't make the Bellingham CBGT, the drive to Bellingham on a Saturday morning just for the tour would be a fun day trip!

Also, Brock: My friend Sam who bought Lil' C is planning to make the run from Cornet Bay in the 16, just for the tour, and may even stay overnight in the 16 Catman style! He's not on C-Brats and therefore not signed up, so just wanted to give you a heads-up on the +1 boat.

Mark, Thank you for your post here, and for opening up to us for the tour. It is a privilege and you should know it is appreciated. I am sure there will be lots of fun stuff to see and learn. Thank you for sharing.

Due to unforeseen family circumstances I am unable to attend either the Bellingham CBGT or the C-Dory MFG tour this year. I am sure there are others there who will be taking notes for me so thank you again for your efforts and hospitality.

I can't tell you how thrilled I am to hear this.... I was angry that the company ignored our group, especially as we sell so many boats for them....We once bought an Airstream trailer just so we could belong to a group and join the events... it is a super attraction to the C-Dory boats and the crowds we draw to the boats are all prospective buyers....lots of folks want to join the fun...

We were so lucky that the old company understood that and took full advantage of their best salesman...I mean sales persons... maybe this will lead to more participation of our club events.......

Yes I know they recognize you Northern folks but the groups away from the area feel ignored at our cruises....

Anyway I am very pleased for you..

Gene, the tour will be Saturday at 10 a.m.
And I like your idea of dessert on the dock. We could have some fruit, chocolate, maybe a pie, and ice cream if I can run fast enough. And booze. Hey, it's got sugar...

And the Belling ham marine is here:

Squalicum Harbor, 722 Coho Way, Bellingham, WA 98225

Ph: 360-676-2542

C-Brats will be behind Gate #9

Hope that helps.

Thanks to you both!! Just wanted you to know that we will have the factory open for about one hour on Saturday--we have a wedding of one of our former employees to attend in the afternoon!! Looking forward to seeing you Brats in a few days!!

Don't know what carpooling/shuttling plans have been made, but I can probably carry 8-10 passengers comfortably in the RV.
 
You all have a great time. Looks like I am going to miss the factory tour, for sure, and getting to see Bill and Dana, and all the rest. My loss.

Thanks for the factory time Mark and all. It is great to see the builds and see you doing well. It is hard not to ask a ton of questions about everything. Thanks again for the time.
