Hello All,
I am looking at a used CDI furler here locally, model 4/6. Does anyone use one of these on their boat? Any recommendations for a furler? Not as steady on my feet as I used to be and would like to get out of hanking the jib.

sail reconditioning
I was wondering if anyone has ever had their sails reconditioned? I got the impression they are cleaned and a coating put on them. I don't know how effective or expensive it would be.

I sail my 22 in inland lakes in Ohio. Not much natural chop, but a lot of unlimited horsepower boats running on a reservoir can get choppy. Mine has a swing keel. The only thing that I notice is that the keel thumps a lot, but she sails flat through chop. I have read on this forum in the past about ...

That is pretty. Did you spray or brush it? I am looking down that rabbit hole myself on the C-22, I may want to get all the patches the same color. I lost out on a slip this year, so I have been using sail time to build and repair things while they are stuck on the hard. I have been refinishing the ...

I am not sure if they do or not. I would not surprise me if they are the same. It would make manufacturing more efficient to use the same stock. I see you are in Columbus, I have my C-26 in storage at Hollenbeck with the mast down if you want to look at the end of it. Now that I think of it, I wonde...

Thanks for your input everyone. I put Sikkens natural teak cetol on the gangway planks. The one of the sets I stained and it actually came out with a nice gloss, the others were sanded down to natural color and does not have near the sheen to it, but I only applied one coat yesterday to them. The na...

My bucket didn't have that bimini cover option, my C-20 is a plain Jane white with a gold stripe. no port lights, no lifeline. just a pulpit on the bow and that little aluminum rail on the stern to hold the mast. I would like to try my hand at making a bimini, but it is a challenge to make something...

C-20 or C-22 bimini
I was looking at the brochures and I saw an option for a C-20 bimini cover that was offered by Chrysler. Does anyone know of any pictures of how a bimini would fit a C-20 or a C-22. I would like to have one to have a little shade but when I get to the problem of the location and movement of the main...

Wood finishes
I am working on my gangway planks, tiller, and the channels on the sliding hatch on a C-20 and a C-22, I have used teak oil in the past, which seems to fade quickly, and Helmsman Spar urethane which blisters and gets cloudy after 1 season. I think I will try Cabot's spar varnish this time. Our boats...

If I can picture it right, the structure below the gangway supports the mast and maybe the winch that lowers the keel. Any rotten wood on a boat should be on the short list to be fixed, or the problem will just get worse and harder to fix. It is probably a compression force on it winch makes it stro...

The keel weight is about right. The 20 has a stub keel on it also which the 22 does not have. I think the stub keel lets you go with a lighter drop keel. The 20 also has different handling characteristics than the 22. The 22 will tack faster. I sail them both on an inland reservoir, and I have found...

I can see where a mast height has a better line of sight, but I want to put it on a C-26 that will be a trailer sailor. I have been on charter fishing boats where they mostly us the radar to monitor weather popping up on lake Michigan. I think a high power (4 watt) 24 inch would be better, but chaff...

I am considering a Raymarine scanner for a sailboat, does anyone have any opinion on mast mount or post mount on the transom? Is there much difference in a 18" and a 24 "?

Soft spot on C-22 deck
While I was getting my c-22 cleaned up for winter storage, I noticed a soft spot under my foot between the mast step and the sliding hatch. Has anyone repaired the core in the deck? Any suggestions?

Mario's picture is what I was describing. That same area and over the shelf on the port side by the gangway. By the way, I store the boat with the bow pointing north, and the stuff seems to form on the western side. I clean them off and they keep reoccuring. It sounds like a Chrysler thing, and an a...

Cabin roof growth
I have had my 1975 c-22 for five years. I keep getting these tan, chrystal mounds inside the cabin. They look like a bug nest, but i can find no evidence of bugs when I clean them. I can only assume that something is leaching out of the fibergalss. They seem to form mostly over the winter storage. H...

length of mast
I just measured my C-22 mast to try to fit a cover to it and the boat. It measured exactly 27 feet 0 inces from the shoe at the bottom of the mast to the top of my anchor light. I think 26' 6" would be accurate without the light.
