I might be intrested in the interior cushions, (or almost anything else intrerior). Which cushions do you have? Also what condition is the table top in? Anything else at all interior? Mine is like an emtpy shower stall inside. My wife just looks at me like "yeah right" when I tell her that...

Actually this weekend the wife and I have plans to go back to Hagg Lake. So this weekend is out of the question for Detroit. I'm convinced she will have a great time at Hagg, so I'll stick to that plan. Hagg is so much closer, and big enough for a leisurely day sail, so we'll build confidence close ...

I did get out for a few hours on Friday. I had the day off and told my dad I would take him sailing. This was maybe the 3rd time he has gone with me, and the first time it was just the 2 of us. The original plan was to go to Detriot, but we went to Hagg Lake instead (much closer to my place). The wi...

dybis, The previous owener had already taken off the "box" for the mast step, and did a partial repair on the core. On my boat, that area is flat with no buildup. What I did was pull the weak SS bracket (again previously modified), repaired some of his core repair, and properly scarfed the...

I have not sailed at Detroit yet Rich. But people say I should check it out. Did not make it out his weekend, too many last minute things to do. BUT we're full steam ahead planning on this weekend. We're also going to drop into a lake atleast once before putting into the Columbia, because we might d...

The weather man says is going to get up to 100 this week, and I do have a bit of color on the lower arms. I guess summer has snuck up on me. 8) Since pulling the boat late last fall, I have managed to: Pull the mast step off, do some core repair under the mast step, reglass under step, install a hin...

James 3:4-5 "Behold also the ships, which though so great, and driven of fierce winds, yet are they turned about with a very small helm, whithersoever the governor listeth. Even so the tongue is a little member, and boasteth great things. Behold, how great a matter a little fire kindleth!"...

Well if you do part the boat out, make sure you post about it here.. I need a lot of parts to finish mine off. And I'm much more likely to get the go ahead from the wife to buy "parts" than to end up with a parts boat.

No problem. Now would be a good time to admit that the reason I was so quick with an answer is because I was stumped by the same thing when I looked up my boat. M? There is no month for M? How can this be? I think the website could be a little clearer on that as I think the leading M is always there...

October 79?

Glad someone got out and was able to enjoy the great weekend. I spent the weekend doing various on the boat projects to mine. I had some cracks on the cabin top from where the previous owner has attempted to replace some soft core.. Good job except for the actual attempt at sealing and finishing the...

I replaced mine over the winter while the boat was dry. My rudder configuration is "non stock" meaning someone made one, but I cannot possibly imagine replacing the lines while the boat was in the water. I actually replaced the lines while the rudder was completely off the boat, as I was f...

Your C22 has 2 sets of spreaders? What year is your boat and is it the "tall" setup? My boat came with one set only, and the current spar does not have empty mounting holes, so I wonder.

I've got some questions about the spreader configuration on a C22. Here's what's up there now: A length ( i really should have measured) of solid round aluminum about 1" in diamter (OK, OK, I'll measure everythign this weekend) for each spreader. Both spreaders appear to be tapped and through m...

Now all I need to do for a good laugh with the girlfriend is say "Remember when we were in that yacht Parade." I hear today that the buddy who helped me step the mast stuck around for a while and took some pictures, but got bored and left right as we turned towards the parades.. I wish he ...

Yesterday we launched. Rigging was a joy. Only had to step the mast twice, (meaning I only forgot one thing). After it was lowered again, and the spreader boots installed it was up for good. The only thing I was really leary of was leaking at the keel pin, as I had pulled the keel for repair/paint a...

That is funny about the wheel barrel handle, because the next after I bought the Santana Tiller from West Marine, I was at Costco and saw a nice wheel barrel.. That handle looked pretty sweet! Had I fealt the need to have a custom tiller made, I am confident that a wheel barrel handle would have wor...

Hey Rich. I guess I over looked your reply for a while here. Last year I slipped my boat at Harbor 1 on the Columbia. Planning on putting it back same place next weekend. Last year I trailer and launched about 3 times before I decided I liked the idea of a slip. :) The original tiller in my cockpit ...

In response to the guy who would like to repair some hull scars. These scars can be easliy repaired, provided that the damage is only to the gelcoat and does not include any hint of damage to the structure. I patched several scars on the hull side of my boat using a "gelcoat kit" from tap ...

I've been planning on doing the same thing, however I have avoided the task until I have the time to install some pipe/hose from the cockpit drain at the same time. Water usually stays out of that well, unless I am under power and the bow starts to ride up.

Must be from the new Home Depot sailing line..

I'm suffering bad from workshop fever! I'm chomping at the bit to get the boat in the water for my 2nd season of sailing. This spring I pulled the keel out, knocked off all the rust, cleaned her up, primed and painted and put it back in (Not as tough of a task as I had anticipated. It actually went ...

My boats previous owner also removed a lot of foam in that area as well. Both sides seem to be able equal, so I have ignored that task for the time being. IF I were going to decide to do something about that, I know that Tap Plastics carries a product I would look into. Here is a link http://www.tap...

When I purchased my boat all the portlights had been removed, and there was only one plexi pattern with the boat; the rubber seal was ruined and missing. I sweated a lot about what I was going to do about this problem, and finally decided upon: :arrow: Purchased Polycarbonate sheeting from plastic s...

Are you still holding on to that pole and spinnaker? If so, do you have any idea what kind of consideration you are looking for in exchange?

Hey there, I'm a proud owner of a 1972 C22 which I have so far only sailed on the Columbia river in Portland. I purchased the boat through Ebay which worked out well. Of course with a find like that you can count on some elbow grease. Between October 2002 and June 15, 2002 (first launch day) I focus...
