Captain Scott is still alive! LOL!

Hello everyone! It has been a long time since I have been on here! Thought I'd drop in and say hi to all! Update on me, Yes, sadly I have sold my last Chrysler boat. I have not restored a Chrysler in years. I have owned many Chryslers over the years including 4 or 5 22's, a Dagger, and even a 20'er....

Back from a sailing trip!

We are home! My bride and I plus two other couples bare boat charted a 48' Catamaran from Moorings in St Lucia!! We all spent the first 3 days on St Lucia touring, eating, drinking and generally fooling around. The next 7 days we spent aboard "Bare Necessities" a 48 Moorings Cat. Given we ...

Re: Chrysler Sailors Looking for a new board owner

Re: Boom Gooseneck

If you go to rigrite.com and weed through their menu they have goosenecks that will work for the C22. I've purchased one in the past from them and it worked fine! Just watch the size of the slide!

Re: Chrysler Sailors Looking for a new board owner

It would be possible however somebodies name must be on the account that hosts the forum. I like the shared responsibilities idea but that would have to be managed. Realistically it is not a lot of work when you have good admins like we have had.

Re: C22 Stern rail

For one of my boats I made a "T" shaped bar for this. The "T" was set in the stern upside down and I welded a "U" shape to the bottom of "T" which held the mast up. I made the leg of the "T" much longer too. That lifted the mast higher and made stepp...

Welcome to the forum! I briefly owned a C20 however sold it before I ever sailed it. I've regretted that since. The cockpit on the C20 is freakin HUGE! Way more space than the C22. I'd venture 6 adults comfortably in the cockpit all day. The cutty cabin is just that . Tiny space but very functional ...

We are back!

We spent two weeks aboard Destiny in the San Juan Wa and Gulf Islands BC CA!

We had a great time! Managed to see Minke whales, some transient Orca whales, and even a Grey Whale!
We had some mechanical issues but got through them and had a great time!

Re: Rudder

Not necessary.
I've had 4 C22's to date and all had center mounts on the motor.
Typically I ran with rudder down fully all the time. When motoring the motor was locked to keep it from turning and I steer with the tiller/rudder.

Never had an issue.

Welcome to the forum. For what it is worth, I had a C22 with bent/damaged rudder plates similar to the pictures shown.

Re: Rudder

Best thing is to go to our documents page and look at the rigging design of the 22. There is a pair of lines on the rudder itself. One to pull the rudder up and the other to pull it down. There is a jam cleat on the tiller handle to hold the line in use. When I replaced these lines on a C22 I used a...

Re: New to me C26

Consider looking at the raising the mast on a C22. I believe they are very similar. There are many methods here on the forum for stepping the mast. Search for a few of them and take the best of all options that will work for you!

Toe rails and stantions can leak. Portals can leak. Leaving the companion way boards out will leak. Keel pin and plates could leak. So basically anything that created a hole on the glass might leak!

Re: Starting diesel

Yeah, if you have disassembled the fuel lines, proper bleeding is likely required for that motor.
Good luck and keep us posted on what you find!

We are expecting very nice weather. We might even hit the 80's!
I prefer the cooler 70's when doing this work but the 80's sure beat rain! LOL!

The outboard on our dink also gets a new impeller this year. Parts are scheduled to arrive Tuesday next week so I'll be a busy guy!
