Long story short; Last Spring I finally got the mast up on my C26 and had to follow a new route in the marina to the boat launch ramp. I failed to notice the wires overhead on this different route. The wires won. The boat is insured for $4k, the damage is estimated at $12k. I have parts available in...

Mine broke in the same place. TIGed it up and it works fine. Just be sure to have the block in it o when it warps it'll still fit.

Well, I'm back after several years of (boating) in-activity. I promised myself I wouldn't fool with my C-22 until I got some other projects out of the way. So, I got the C-22 out of storage, sailed it once, and saw a good deal on a C-26 here in Detroit. So, I'm now the owner of 2 boats and I need to...

Thanks for the response. I figured as much, but I wanted to make sure before I took them out. I have a full set of instructions for the boat (a copy of which I uploaded here several years ago) but I don't have an original wiring diagram. If anyone has a set I'd appreciate a copy. Otherwise, I'll jus...

My C-22 has been sitting for about 10 years according to the paperwork, so I'm going through everything prior to putting it in the water. When I pulled the mast head off I found the mast packed full of Styrofoam peanuts. Top to bottom. Are these masts filled like this from the factory, or did some P...

Alan, In defense of Navy CPO's I suspect your po had the flag hoist on the starboard spreader in order to fly his club burgee, his "Q" flag, or host country flag from the starboard spreader. He probably flew the US flag from the flagstaff when underway. I do the same, but I don't like it; ...

Number 1, and the (second) number 3.

The starboard spreader is for the flag of the host country (non-USA) AFTER clearing Customs.

Shark69, Your driveway must look sort of like mine. Two Dodge 1 ton pickups, a Chrysler Sebring convertable, an Oldsmobile Cutlass, a 1960 Harley panhead, and a Chrysler C-22. I agree with the sticker thing; the only sticker on any of them is one on the 4x4 Dodge truck that says: Jane, Call Home. 1-...

Looks good to me. Why take off the "Made in USA" sticker? There's precious little still made here. Why not let people know it's not Chinese?

Jeff,

Thanks for providing that mnemonic the help folks remember. To get to the compass heading from true, I use the mnemonic:

True = True
Virgins = Variation
Make = Magnetic
Dull = Deviation
Companions = Compass

That gives me the course to steer, fog or not.

Thanks for the informative answer Chrysler20%26. I'm south of you, in Plymouth, MI and I agree, the water is getting cold. But, that's why they make wetsuits. My boat sits on the trailer unless she's sailing so corrosion won't be a problem. But, I'm grateful for the knowledge about the differences b...

Chrysler22%26,

Why do you think galvanized would be better for us freshwater sailors?

Chrysler20%26, Please be SURE you have a good (Real Good, actually) oil scrubber in the air line downstream from the pump. Most compressors pump microscopic oil particles, and the cheapos will pump more. The oil is in tiny, microscopic droplets usually, but will give you pneumonia big time. Also, so...

The C22 mast came as 28' 9" before serial No CBC 33152-xxxx, and 26' 9" after that serial number. All sails, standing, and running rigging was modified at the same time they cut 2' off the mast.

TNC110,

Have you figured out why your boat's keel decided to part company with the boat? (Other than gravity, of course.) Was it the keel pin, or the brackets? Or...?

Yup, me too. 1 Harley Davidson, 1960 Panhead. 2 Dodge 1 Ton Pickup trucks. 1 Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme 4 Chryslers (1 Sebring convertible, 1 C-22 Sailboat, 2 ea. 9.9 Sailor 250 Outboards) No foreign iron in my driveway but, of course, I live in the Detroit area. Just doin' my part. Like the CW song...

>4 - I'm planning some stops on the tongue extension to make it more user >friendly to deploy. Mine has a easy stop in it. Someone put it in there already, and it works well. Just move the extension to it's full extended length (or where the pin and hole line up), put the pin in, then drill an addit...

These are on Craig's list in the Detroit Metro area, 11 June, 2009.

Beau,

Great. Thanks I hate to keep some thing like this to myself. Look for them on Thur, the 18th.

I scanned in the entire manual and the print and the line drawings came out great. But, unfortunately, the photos of the interior and the parts box photos were nothing but black spots. I have a friend who has a scanner with better gray-scale resolution and I'll rescan them next week. I'd really like...

Matt, If you're coveting a full 'wrap-around pushpit (I believe that's the correct name for the stern railing you're referring to) contact Dave who cut up a C-22 last week. See topic Parting out a Chrysler.... His nick on here is DDB. I got many of the hardware parts but the pulpit and pushpit were ...

On the boat Dave is fixing to cut up, the halyards were led aft through turning blocks and a double cam cleat to the main winch, starboard. He still has the tuning blocks and double cam-cleat if you're interested in a similar arrangement. Or, at least he did last Sunday. If you're interested, contac...

Nice pics.

Does the food come with the boat too?
javascript:emoticon(':lol:')

Actually, that's a very fair price for that boat, even with the keel problem.

I have a scanner (though maybe not "high-resolution") and I've scanned in the Dagger, Chrysler-22, and the Barracuda. I'll probably get the rest done tonight. Matt, this isn't an "Owner's Manual." It's a Parts Manual, more like you'd find at a dealer's shop. The actual photo repr...

I have a parts manual for our boats that I just purchased on eBay. It has the original part numbers, assembly drawings, photos, rigging instructions, etc. for all the Chrysler boats except the CY-26 (Alas!) Boats that are included are CY-22, Man' O ; War, Buccaneer, Mutineer, LS-13, LS-16, and Pirat...

Dave, I live in Plymouth Mi. (About 45 min away.) I can run up there tomorrow (Fri), or any day this weekend. I'm also interested in the 9.9 Chrysler outboard. Please call me and let me know when I can come up there. If you need any help cutting, or hauling I maybe can help. (Have truck, can haul) D...

Dave, ya got something wrong with your address. Got the following reply: Technical details of permanent failure: Google tried to deliver your message, but it was rejected by the recipient domain. We recommend contacting the other email provider for further information about the cause of this error. ...

Where is the boat located?

I'd like the standing rigging if it's in good shape. All of the shrouds, and stays. Also, the boom vang if it's there.

Thanks for the quick response. Mine isn't NEARLY as rusted as some of the pics, but my boat has been a "trailer queen" all it's life, and sailed only in fresh water. (We have lots of that here in the Great Lakes region.) I'll pull it apart now that I have an idea what it's for and will pos...

Back in 2005 someone posted a question in another forum/website that asked what that "thingy" just above and aft of the keel pin was for. They were directed to ask the question in this forum since no one there seemed to know. But, I can't find the question/answer here in the archives eithe...
