No mechanical fasteners are used in the construction or assembly of the hull, house or its top. This construction method is slow but it provides a very strong, rigid light weight shell that is free of leaks or fatiguing joints. All color accent and top deck nonskid patterns are molded into the original casting. The interior of the hull and house are coated with two coats of Gelcoat with a light spatter finish. Only the highest quality gelcoats are used with all C-Dory products.
Rub rails are of extruded aluminum.
This guard helps protect the stem from impact with the trailer or from nosing the bow onto the ramp. All of our boats are built using the same methods, to see a detailed account of the production of a C-Dory, see the 22' Construction pages.
