C-26 Tacking Without Jib
Hello, It's been a while since I've been out on my sailboat and yesterday I realized that I've forgotten a few things. I'm hoping someone here can help. 1. I motored out of the harbor, killed my engine, then tried to raise the main. I wasn't able to raise it because I couldn't get her to point high ...

Thanks for your explanation. That seems like a very easy trial setup and a lot cheaper than the full setup...which is a nice start. I received my books that all of you recommended the other day and have spent the last few reading intensely. I can't wait to play with sail trim. Now the 4 feet of snow...

cockpit adjustable fairleads
I was looking at some adjustable fairleads from Garhauer marine.
http://garhauermarine.com/catalog_process.cfm?cid=37
Anyway, I was wondering if there are many out there that have the ones you can adjust from the cockpit, and if so, are they worth the money?
Thanks,
Adam

Sail trim books
Hey,
I was wondering if anyone has a recommendation for some good literature on sail trim?
I was looking at Don Guillette's books on sail trim and was wondering if anyone has read those?

Jeff, Thanks for the description, I too was wondering how you set that up. I am also curious on how you feel with the mainsheet up there. I personally would like to have quick access ot my mainsheet (by placing the traveler between the two cockpit benches) but maybe I'd be wrong with that setup. I h...

Jeff, I will take lots of photos when I do it, but I am thinking it might be closer to September. That way I will have the winter to fab a new shoe and a plan of attack as to fitting the new shoe to old sailboat. That being said when I was out my last time this past fall, there was a lot of noise co...

Lifting a C-26 to remove the keel - without a crane
It's getting close to that time of the year where another boat load of projects are to be done. One major one that everyone wants to have done but is exhausted just thinking about it, is to jack up their boat and rebuild the keel shoe/pin on a C-26. I have read as many posts as I can find on the sub...

That is somewhat of a tough question to answer. I don't remember what the interior of a finished chrysler looks like. I gutted mine about two years ago, so I have access to everything. I am slowly rebuilding the boat. Slowly. I am however going to build a new mounting platform for the new winches. O...

The oem on the C-26 is Barlow 15's. Not too sure the specs on that. I did order the andersen #18 ST. I will let you know how it goes. As for changing lines, mine are all old old old and I need and excuse to buy new ones. That being said all that will have to be changed are the genoa sheets. Can't be...

I have the exact same motor as lecker68. It's an awesome motor. quiet, reliable, powerful, and fairly good on fuel. I would also try a new impeller and rebuild the transom. Just a quick note though. If you are going to rebuild the transom try to design one where you could lower the motor (enen thoug...

Winch size - on sale
Hey I found some winches on sale and am wondering what people think, if they are too small or if they will work. They are Anderson #12ST for 394.00. They have a gear ratio of 1.3:1 and a power ratio of 9.5:1 They seem a little small but the anderson website does size them for the C-26. What do you e...

K. I took some time to answer my own questions. Couldn't find a kit but was able to piece it all together...expensive! Also the one I did price out was only a 2:1 purchase which is a little low for me. The mechanics of it seem simple and easy to clean though. I am leaning towards the Garheur travele...
