Hi, My turnbuckles on my C-22 have a ring clip through them. There is a hole drilled through the threaded post and nut. The clips were made of questionable metal, some were just cotter pins. I replaced them with stainless ring clips. I need to remove those clips through my turnbuckles and they turne...

My factory teak was dry and ugly when I got the boat. I put Teak Oil on it and it looks oksy now and it's definetly stronger. I did this about 6 months ago and it needs it again. Not sure if it can be over done.

Thanks

Okay I just found a build your own Roller Furling for $40.00 in this issue of Small Craft Advisor Jul/Aug issue no. 58. The article has pictures and writen instructions. The one he shows is not using a fore stay but he talks about how it could work. Honestly it is very slick looking they way he buil...

I used a old 4 hp 2 stroke Johnson to move my C-22 about 12 miles. My boat had about 1000 lbs of sea life attached to the fouled bottom. It took me 12 hours as I was fighting the tide the last 5 miles. I did make it though. That little 4 hp moved me at a crawl with all that junk on the bottom but it...

Hmm, roller furler and cheap... Do those words belong in the same sentance? If so, sign me up.

Thanks

The shop just called my motor is fine. No blown head gasket after all. Turns out it was a carbin build up through the exaust ports that was losening u due to mu rich oil mix in the fuel. It runs excellent had a check-up and will be ready to sail once I pick it up. :D Ye-ha! I did not break my motor ...

Welcome aboard Isaacs,

Looks like the other Manowar experts have your question in hand. I to am in Washington with a C-22, so I'll just say Hi as I think the photo's in this posting are the most I've seen of a Manowar. Good to see it's in good hands.

Thanks
Alan

Hi My boats table just mounts to the post in the floor and the table. No connection to the wall at all. I do not have the original table though. I am making a new one. I have the same problem as Trev, I can't get the post out of the floor holder. Scott showed me the bases from Camping World. They ar...

I've beentrying to track down the folks from a long time ago on the forum that were close to us. So far I've gotten contact with only one family, and the sold there boat. They are interested in a ride on our boats though.

The other folks I've been dead ending on but I'm still looking.

Thanks
Alan

It's good it all worked out in the end. Well done!

Thanks for the story!
Alan

We all look forward to news of an excellent sailing day.

Thanks
Alan

Awesome, I want to go sail right now, but my motor is in the shop getting a new head gasket. I like the way you rigged your GPS/Depth finder. I see you had your main reefed and the storm jib. Nice, real nice. I was listening to your cable hum I was thinking 5 to 6 knots, then you showed your speed o...

The ad says it has a 6 foot beam, that does not sound right.

The Beam on a C-22 is 7'9"

What is the Beam on a C-26?

Wish it was closer or I'd be interested.

Thanks
Alan

Nice, Thanks for the photo's

Alan

Ah, the story in my mind was much grander, but it's still good.

Thanks
Alan

Ah a wooden boat. They are so smooth, they just feel good when you sail them. It was a 1950's boat from the Seatlte Wooden boat musium that I sailed that convinced me to get a sailboat of my very own. I sailed her for about 2 hours on lake Union. But the work, oh no, not for me. I'll look at them a ...

Jason,

Okay, before I go off and place my order for new sails you said... "my only regrets about the new main was that I didn't go with full battens and a loose foot."

This is something I should consider?

Thanks
Alan
