6. Air horn or other appropriate noise making device. Also a laminated card with the horn blowing codes used in navigation. Where can we get one of these cards? Hmmm, Seems to me I got one of those from the Seattle Boat Show as a Free thing some vendor was handing out. Now I can't find it. So lets ...

Hey I've not done this thread for a while. Safety Stuff 1. Life vest for everyone on board. Properly sized to each person. Also if there not worn, they are not likely to work. 2. First Aid kit. Fully stocked, everyone knows where it's at. 3. Flairs. Up to date, separated from expired flairs, every o...

Wow!

That is clearly not in my budget, but I must have it. Where did it put that piggy bank anyway?

Nicely done Captain Scott! Nicely done indeed.

Thanks
Alan

Ah Bill you sent me scrambling to Google. What is a "Stemhead Fitting" anyway? Please correct me if my findings are wrong. It is the metal deck attach point for my standing rigging for the fore stay and another for the back stay. Most of what I find on the internet seem to be the fore stay...

Most excellent sailing report. That vortex sounds like the wind born version of Deception Pass where the whirl pools are bigger across then the boat is long. ONLY go through there on a slack tide, or better yet go around the Island and skip the pass all together. Nah, I'll go through the pass on the...

The term "Blinding flash of the Obvious." Seeing this done right, slap the fore head. Say "I could have had a V8." Clearly this is the way to go and it will be added to my wish list. Man that is truly a excellent idea, expertly executed, lovingly crafted. Thank you for showing th...

I popped by the good Captain Scott's house today. These photos do not do justice to what this boat looks like in person. Man you have to put on sunglasses just from the shine off the hull. I'll be borrowing the good Captains Hull waxing methods ASAP. Seriously the best looking Chrysler sailboat I've...

Funny my C-22 Mast was filled with about a foot of I think Spray in Styrofoam at the base. I originally thought the foam went all the way up the mast. After re-wiring the mast I found it was only in the bottom. After almost dropping my mast over the side the first time a raised it while in the water...

Hi All, About a year ago, hmm maybe longer, Captain Scott and I came across a C-22 OEM Stainless Steel Pin for Rasing the Mast. You know the pin you stick in the end of your boom and the other end into the forward base of your mast. Well Captain Scott asked me to put a micrometer to it and get the e...

This year I stepped up to a Solar Panel in both aft windows. I've set up for a second battery but have not put one in. I've been told to get a bigger battery instead of 2 separate batteries by a guy who sold solar/batteries/electrical panels and such. He said you got more power over a longer period ...

Great sailing report Dan. I also like you boat naming idea. Had a great day sailing without a main. Your going to love it with the full set of sail flying.

Thanks
Alan

Blimy, he's right Captain. It's Thor's hammer. My sailing tends to be more like Thor's half brother Loki. Very mischievous... But never doing any real harm. :lol: You know full speed ahead up river toward the dock. Cut the motor as the bow shoots past the end of the pear. Swing the nose out wide to ...

Cool, all of my best sailing days started off with a good float. :P And thank goodness they all ended with a good float and a lot of floating in between. :P First day I took my out from the dock. No wind. No motor. But I did have a paddle and I paddled her to the end of the long row of boats at the ...

Yea Baby, now that's what I'm talking about. That is some hard core Chrysler sailing right there. I don't have the spinnaker pole yet for mine. I did find a guy at the boat show who will cut a carbon fiber tube to length for under $100 bucks. Then all I would need to do is buy and mount the end clip...

Welcome aboard shipmate! Yup, I think EE nailed the answer on this one. He does that all the time, getting the right answer thing. :) This is a photo of my C-22 Boom attached to the mast by a goose neck. I doubt it's the same on the C-20. http://inlinethumb26.webshots.com/48601/2457798280105487341S5...

It was a good day, sailing was accomplished, problems were solved. A motor was vetted and found to be good... Even if a few choice nu-printable words may have been uttered under ones breath. (Just putting myself in your boat shoes. Several choice words would have occurred to me in the same spot.) :s...

Welcome to the Chrysler Brain Trust! This is all just my Opinion, but I think the crew will back me up here. The first, biggest thing is this Web site. Everything else can be solved with some work and some money. The how to do it is here. If it's not here we will figure it out, invent it, improve it...

So sitting at home is my C22 AND my new C20! Where does it stop??????? Scott Hmm, Stop? What is the "Stop" thing you talk about in reference to a Chrysler sailboat? I do not understand this "Stop" thing at all. :?: I still need a C-26, just the money, the time, and the boat neve...

First rate EE, Thanks!

Alan

Oh man that looks like a bargain just screaming to be had.

Thanks
Alan

Whew, thought you meant me there for a moment, before I lost all that weight and I scuba dive in Puget Sound. Yea that time Green Peace found me getting out of the Ocean, then pushed me back in the water screaming "Save the whale, save the whale!"

Thanks
Alan

Oh man, Yiles! Well there is good news... You got a Chrysler and it's sitting on a trailer too. I'm thinking a weekend with the power washer and she'll clean up just fine. They always do. As for the things you need to add and repair, it will be fun. I think you did get a good price for what you got....

A big Welcome Aboard there shipmate! I like the Avatar you got there. I wore a rig like that once upon a time. Yup just once and it was a blast. I was spear fishing, definitely not what that rig was intended for. When I got to the bottom I hung out over a drop off sitting on a very old sunken tree t...

Funny, I cought refrance to Red Green........He lives on his HUGE house boat in my harbour all summer long.........Cool guy. Welcome Aboard Nicknick32! You know what uncle Red always said... "If women don't find you handsome, then they better find you handy." I'm not sure that handy on my...

I added tell tails to my standing rigging, not my sails. Works great. See the spreader, thats a faded tell tail, http://inlinethumb21.webshots.com/48852/2787224240105487341S500x500Q85.jpg Better shot here, on the standing rigging. http://inlinethumb57.webshots.com/14520/2680771520105487341S500x500Q8...

Excellent Report! Happy day when all the parts come together. Now is the time to put them all on the boat. I still have 2 small wiring projects and a mast hinge plate and I'm calling it "Done". I got that hinge plate 18 months ago. :shock: Wow, am I behind on my boat fun, or what? :? Okay ...

9mm, .357, .45, .30, 30-30, or 12 gauge, all good fun till some bad guy bleeds all over your carpeting and twelve people have to decide your future. First question, why did you shoot him 6, 8, 15, etc. times? Answer, I had that many bullets in the gun, didn't want to waste any since he clearly wante...

Hi Jay, Yup the C22 Twilight photo over the bow is mine. You asked me if you could use it over a year ago as I recall and I said yes you may. :D http://inlinethumb20.webshots.com/45651/2614679900105487341S600x600Q85.jpg The photo is over the deck of my C22, the Honu, Island in the distance is the So...

Yup, DO IT!

Okay I'm way late to this posting. I did the Maui America's Cup Race boat. Loved it.

I've Also been to Atlantis, Loved it too. So, DO IT too.

Thanks
Alan

I have planned to discharge out into the fuel locker area that the scuppers run through from the cockpit. This would be a rise of less then 3 feet for the pump. (I've heard pump GPM is reduced 50% when you pump water up 3 to 4 foot above the pump) This would keep the discharge about 6" to 9&quo...
