I measured 3" down from the rail, and put small pencil marks every 6" or so. That was my guide as I pulled the sticker along. I'd get a 3' section lined up, then pull the release paper and press on a small section, then repeat. Turned out pretty good! If I notice a spot that starts to bug ...

All my standing rigging is now sorted out, and my CDI furler is all set up. I've been running my outboard in a barrel and it seems to be working great.

Still left to do:
-Mount ladder
-finish running rigging.
-Apply boat name & stripes
-install battery

Swing keel back in... final countdown

I replaced my swing keel brackets with a set purchased from Trey. They are fantastic! Anyway, this past weekend I managed to fight the keel back into place... not as easy task! I eventually managed to get the boat blocked up high enough on the trailer, then flipped the keel upright using jacks, come...

Need to be more specific, If I remember correctly there are two versions and one has a taller mast so the forestay may be different depending on which version of the 22 your have. Well, to completely forthright my boat has a crazy 30' mast. I'm going to be cutting it down to standard spec before la...

I REALLY like the c26... are their any other 26' boats with a swing keel? That's a real advantage for the type of river sailing I d...

Front hatch & cushion covers

Looking for:

Front hatch: Mine is a junky plywood one that's coming apart

Set of cushion covers. I'd love to buy a nice set, but I'd even take a ratty old set that I can use as templates to make new ones.

Gus, my 22 doesn't have winches... I think someone removed them years ago.

However, the current setup has me wanting. I find cam cleats are easier for single-handed sailing, but I'm looking for a better setup than mine. Do you have any ictures of your rigging?

Not sure about finding rudder parts. Mine's been converted to a stern mount rudder, I'm very happy with it. Mind you, I'd be happier if it were a kick up rudder. A Catalina 22 rudder would be ideal

Hey bucfan/Ken

I was claeaning my garage this weekend and found the collar you are looking for. If you saw my garage, you'd understand that this is no small miracle... it looks like someone picked it up and shook it. Anyway, it's here by the computer, completely intact with setscrews & all.

I really like having a stern mount, but I don't think anyone should necessarily take mine as a template. It was on the boat when I got it. I think it's a bit oversized... the boat turns on a dime but it's VERY heavy... plus it's not a kick-up rudder. I was thinking of getting a kickup stern mount fr...
