Re: storm jib
Call Precision Sails. I doubt you need a storm sail. Just a 100 would be good. If it is too windy just use the main reefed only.

Re: Sail trim books
This is an old post, but if anyone is still looking for help on sail trim check out "Sailaway" https://sailaway.world/ . It is about $15.00 I think converts from Euro. The best thing is it tells you what you need to do to make the sails the most efficient. It will also do it for you and ex...

If it has a slider like the 26 just remove the sliders and install two hinges in the front.

Re: C26 May have found the leak
I would find out if the water is coming from the top or the (Lake water) in the water or out so to speak. The main water leakage comes from the to rail.

Re: Mast Step Trouble
If your raising it on the trailer, I don't even use the gin pole. I just added a longer steel post to the front of the trailer. I use a roller at that point. I attach a strap just above the gin pole attach point and run a winch cable from that point through the roller to a small electric winch attac...

Re: Bought a new sail for my 26 today
I guess even though I gave them the Chrysler documentation for the sail they still need measurements. Does anyone have measurements for a 130 on a Chrysler 26. My mast is down an I would not be able to put it back up until spring.

Bought a new sail for my 26 today
Well I am getting closer to getting my 26 a full set of sails. I took advantage of Precision's Black Friday sale and bought a 400 series 130 Genoa. I saved $200.00. I now have a new main, new 130, used 170. Hopefully before I hit the Gulf I will have the all important Storm Sail. In the spring I hop...

Re: C-22 keel removal how much clearance is needed
You can do it if you jack up the trailer and support it with blocks. Then remove the axles, just roll them out of the way. Of course this depends on your trailer config.

Sounds like you may have had it pumped up too high. If you get rid of it please let me know. By the way my son was killed from a LP heater explosion, (Mr. Heater) far more deadly than alcohol.

Re: stove replacement in my C26
I have a Kenyon pressurized stove and love it.

So you got three things in one. Looked kinda OK. The problem with prop...

I have a 26 so if your 22 does good I should have no problem. Watch out for the crab pots! I was in the Marathon an...

Re: C26 Performance?
I was going by what I was able to do on my boat with less than optimal sails, I now have a new main and soon to have a new 130 or 150. I have not yet used the 170 which is rather newer. Time will tell.

C26 rigging question
I am going to redo my standing rig this winter. This boat was new to me a couple of years ago and when I set it up I just used what was there. There are some irregularities in the setup. All the chainplates are 5/16". The shackles range from 1/4" to 3/8". I would not think that a 3/8&...

Re: C26 Performance?
Depends a lot on upwind downwind or cross wind. I can hit hull speed downwind no problem. On Lake Superior I only had a 100 jib and I could have used more. I now have a 170 I am looking forward to trying. Up wind is not the best performance. In my opinion it is not a racing boat, it is more of a cru...

Highwinds there is more weight on your foot than there is on the toilet flange. It is not supporting more than about 50# and it is twice the area of my shoe.

Re: C26 Mast raising pics
Looks good, I can recommend using PVC pipe and a toilet flange for the support. If you use a 4" on he bottom and insert a 3" inside that you can raise the mast quite high before you start. Just use a bolt through two holes predrilled in the 4" pipe. Then raise the mast by hand with a ...

Re: Motor down, rudder up
Just put a remote on it. It does not have to turn so a simple remote to the cockpit would be an easy fix. Throttle lever that goes forward and reverse. You are going to have trouble with it coming out of the water in rough water though.

It is an AC induction motor, "AC Induction Motors with Encoder" you can run it AC or DC. They do not have my motor anymore it was rated at 100 amps for 2 min. It all comes down to heat and how you get rid of it. The whole difference between what I have (Hybrid) and a 10 hp ICE outboard is ...
