Re: Free C22

Welcome to the forum! The forum has been very slow of late but a free 22 in sailing condition should generate some interest. The 22 is a great boat ! I hope you find a good home for her.

Re: Chrysler 22 Keel Cable

I suggest you change the cable to stainless steel ASAP if the cable breaks while the keel is up there would likely be damage possibly holing the hull. This happened to to someone in a c26 who managed to get the boat to the beach before completely sinking. Check the documents page if you want to know...

Re: Kick up rudder question

Captain Ron, I looked in the manuals section for the depth on the swing keel c26 and it is listed as 2’ -3” so the rudder will not be deeper than that on the 26. You didn’t ay weather you have a 22 or 26. There are a very complete set of manuals for both the 22 and 26 in the document section. Specs ...

Moonracer
Welcome to the forum. I sail a C26 and the life line stanchons all come at close to 90 deg from the water surface. The decks on the 26 are narrow enough without having life lines leaning in. Pictures would be helpful. Is the boat new to you ? Where do you sail ?

This is a new rudder head for a C26. I need the dimensions on the original Chrysler part if any one can help. The C22 uses the same part. I need all the dimensions including the bolt diameter and distance from the step.
