Former Chrysler Sailor, with Knowledge to Share

Greetings All, It's been awhile since I've been on here, as we no longer have our 77 Chrysler 22 (The Tigon). A few years back, we moved to a tiny island in the Puget Sound and moved up to a 1979 Newport 30! That said, my blog www.SailingPugetSound.net is mainly dedicated to our time with The Tigon....

All work we've done to her is documented on our blog at SailingPugetSound.net :-) Our requirement is that, if interested, you read through the articles to understand her current state, and make us a fai...

TRAILER WANTED, TO BUY, OR USE FOR LAUNCH

Greetings! I have finished a year and a half restore(mostly in the last 4 months) on The Tigon. I've had no luck finding a trailer. I am willing to buy one. That is appearing difficult, so I would be willing to compensate for the one-time use of one as well. I am in Washington State, at the southern...

Here's my update on the keel bracket

Scott, I'm looking at the second week of June for launch. After waiting 3 weeks for the keel bracket to be made, I discovered that it was never actually being made. I've cut out my middle man and taken the specs and pictures to a fabricator I've done business with before. They have a 2 week workload...

Looking for a trailer to use Sunday(Mothers Day)

Hey Gentlemen! We have finished with our restore of The Tigon and were planning for a Mother's Day launch. The trailer we had lined up, fell through. Does anyone in the Puget Sound area have, or know of, a trailer that will haul our C22??? We live in Olympia and are willing to travel to pick the tra...

Greetings Gents,... While I've got Coreth on the dry for repairs(not for much longer though), I am adding an electric bilge pump. I'm curious where the lowpoint will be when she's back in the water. Should I wait to find out & then attack the project, or does anyone have a suggestion? Also, the ...
