C-Dory 22' Angler & Cruiser - Stem Guard
The 22' C-Dory with its shallow draft is made to be beached.
The hulls composite core construction allows it to take enormous blows without structural damage. The hardest area to protect from damage are sharp cornered areas like the bow. To protect this delicate area a metal guard is used.
The brass stem guard protects against abrasion from beaching or that accidental nudge against the trailer. This guard runs from just below the bow eye, down about 6'.
