Re: Possible abandoned C22.

Ok, new update. The boat sat on blocks and stands all winter on the approach to the haul out well. It is now back in the slip it occupied last season. Evidently the owner paid for haul out, haul in , storage and slip fees for another season. I wish I could catch the owner at the marina sometime and ...

Re: Possible abandoned C22.

The latest update on this boat is the marina towed the boat from the slip about a week and a half ago and tied it up near the haul out well. Yesterday I went down there for a walk and the boat had been hauled out and was sitting on the approach to the haul out well. It is on blocks and stands. I am ...

Re: Possible abandoned C22.

Update on this boat. I just spoke to the marina and as of this moment they are expecting the owner to remove the boat. They have been in contact with the person and the owner has stated that it will be hauled out as soon as they get their trailer repaired. The marina told me that the owner intends o...

Possible abandoned C22.

I take walks at the Marina here in Kenosha , Wis many times a week. There is a nice blue C22 in the marina and it has not been hauled out yet. It is long past the haul out deadline here. I am going to contact the marina to see what the status is. I could not talk to them yet as they were closed for ...

Re: OEM Standing Rigging ?

In 2011 I put up my mast and adjusted the rigging properly. I then took the mast down and removed the standing rigging, marking each piece and coiling them up. I called Seco South in Largo, Florida. They instructed me to ship the old rigging to them. I shipped it UPS...don't remember the cost but it...

Just posting to keep the forum alive. My C22, Wabi Sabi, is now in the possesion of the Kenosha Community Sailing Center. She will probably see more use than I was able to give her. I now own a 1984 O'Day Javelin 14, which needs absolutely no work. I hope to sail her on the numerous inland lakes in ...

I just purchased a 1984 O'Day Javelin 14, that needs absolutely no work and is in cherry condition with crisp new headsail and almost new main. I can fit it in my garage, tow it with my car and rig it without any assistance. Perfect for an old man like me. $1100

Thanks Mark and Bob. My wife also likes to remind me of what I spent and of all the time I used working on the boat. I tell her that at least I wasn't wasting my time in a bar. And with that note....I'll go have a beer.

Another option, should your old rudder start to deteriorate, is to buy a replacement rudder from Rudder Craft. I did that and was very pleased with their product. The Rudder Craft rudder is neutral buoyancy. I floated mine in the bathtub, on its side, and it floated with the upper side just at the w...
