1977 Chrysler 22 Fixed Keel for sale. It is in great condition and has recently undergone extensive overhauls. The boat sails very well. The fixed keel versions of this boat are rare and have much improved sailing performance over their ...

The girls didn't want to go so we had a boyz weekend at Catalina.

Yeah 4 of us slept in the Chrysler and the other in my brothers Benateau. I don't have any cushions for the port side seat or all 5 of us could sleep in it.

As far as I can tell the interior is identical except for the absence of the winch for the keel cable. It still has the spot for the keel pin but it also has an additional 4 bolts that go through the fixed keel. I made some brackets that attach to the rearmost set of 2 bolts and I hoist it from ...

I purchased a 2" fiberglass tube from McMaster-carr. I bored out the the hull and bushing point on the top to 2". I glassed it in and used uhdpe bushings (also from mcmaster-carr) on the top and bottom. I machined out the stainless tube from the upper bushing housing and reinstalled it just as a ...

I've been wanting to do this for some time. I took the whole family on memorial day weekend for a 3 day sailing trip around Catalina island. We got a late start friday and had to make the crossing in 15knot winds with 3 foot wind waves and 4 foot swell. We were close hauled and had to motor sail to ...

Does anyone use a shackle when attaching the mainsail tack to the boom
? It seems like the attachment point on the boom is too low on mine and creates a wrinkle along the foot of the mainsail.

Sorry to make everyone jealous with this So Cal weather. If it helps you feel better we do have earthquakes and our freeways are a nightmare.

Does anyone have pictures of how the cunningham control is rigged on their C-22. There is a Cunningham loop in my sail and a clam cleat on the mast nearby but i don't know what the system should look like.

Also, our Catalina trip was a success

great shots!

I'd love to sail a fixed keel C22 just for giggles to see how it is!
I bet she beats to win very nicely compared to the swing keel!

Great shots!

If you're ever in LA I'll take you for a ride in it.

Between the carbon fiber foil and differential pinion, I thought you would have had an Indy car in another image....

Very cool. How did you determine the foil shapes, center of the keel and what did you do for ballast?

Regards,

I didn't create the keel. It is original and the ballast is ...

Scott,

What error do you get? I tried on a few different browsers and I can see them.

Here are a few more pics and a video of the crane in action

The companionway boards are actually redwood. I know it's not ideal but it had a piece of plywood in there when I bought it and I didn't want to make a ...

Well, it's been a long time since I bought this boat. 13years ago I bought this boat and I've never sailed it until today. It has been an off and on restoration project. I kind of forgot about it and left it in storage for the past 6 years. I got excited about it a few months ago and really started ...

My question is what do others do for an anchor light? Do any of you have one?

I'm in the process of rewiring my boat. My Chrysler 22 has a stern light, a steaming light, and the red green bow light. I realize under the official rules a sailboat under 23 feet is only required to carry a flashlight but I'm going to be going out to Catalina island quite frequently and want to be ...

Yes, I understand they are more rare than the swing keel versions.

Try it now.

Here's a pic of my boat. It's been an on and off restoration project since i bought it 13 years ago. I've only sailed it twice and other than that I've just been working on it. I bought it as a lien sale because it had been abandoned in san pedro marina. I fabricated the trailer from an old power ...

Hi All,

My old 10 horsepower Honda outboard bit the dust. I just purchased a much newer honda 8hp with electric start and the extra long shaft option. It's something like 27" from the transom mount to the the top of the anti-cavitation plate. I'm wondering if I would even need a two position ...

Okay, thanks. I know the forklift style tanks are meant to run in a horizontal position. I looked one up, a 33lb tank is 12.5 in in diameter and 26" long.

Does anyone know the dimensions of the fuel locker opening on a C-22? I am thinking of converting my outboard to propane and was wondering if a standard propane tank would fit. I would measure mine but it's two states away right now.

I sent my brother up the mast using one of the winches and didn't have a problems. He weighs about 140.

where do you live

I weighed mine while holding it and standing on a bathroom scale.(probably not the most acurate way ) It is the older squared of model (bf100). It works well but burns a little oil. I'll probably be doing a overhaul on it soon. I'm a yamaha man my self but the motor came with the boat and runs ...

Its kinda hard to make out what that picture is of but thanks anyway. Is your boat a fiked keel?

thats a heavy motor I cant belive thy weigh that much these days.
