Glad to help out....know what you mean about the boom and tiller...going from a trip in the cockpit of Emergency Exit to sitting on the rails of the C15 usually results in a couple of bangs on the head with the boom and a few pokes in the back with the tiller till I adjust... <LOL> Fair winds, enjoy...

...it is basically the same setup as you see in the manual for the Pirateer except there is no "bridle" and "pulley"...you take 2 short pieces of smaller line, and splice them into a larger line (forming a "Y")where that pulley is on the pirateer..have a look at the fir...

I can see from the pics in the manual what you mean about that bridle limiting boom swing. Am guessing the C15's you are used to learning on use the stern sheeting/split mainsheet tail setup ? I have my C15 set up that way and while it also limits the boom travel, if you ease the boom out much furth...

You're Welcome, BTW, if you have problems with getting it to stay because of the tiller cross section, here's a variant that helps me...instead of leaving the loops in place all the time, just leave a line tied to one cleat only . when you need the control, push the tiller a bit opposite from where ...

Apologies to whoever sent me this a while back as I cannnot find the original email that it came with, but here is a representation of a C26 rudder as was shared with me...your mileage may vary <G>

quoting from: http://www.nadn.navy.mil/SailingTeam/offshore/203.htm d. TRAVELER ADJUSTMENT - The traveler works together with the main sheet to control the twist in the top portion of the main. Pull the travler car to windward until the boom is on centerline (in under 7 knots pull the car all the wa...

I just ran a line from the cockpit area to the bow, and when I hoist the jib the line goes inside/thru the hanks and is clipped to the head of the jib..not very elegant, but when I ease the halyard loose in one hand, and pull the drop line for the jib I can either drop it in a controlled fashion or ...

Clair, I had asked Eric Berg who owns "A Curious Thing" that same question on another forum....his reply to me is quoted below...hope it helps a bit.. "Okay...I think I understood your question..."measurement from the botton of the hull to the bottom of the keel box". From i...

We are proud to announce that Emergency Exit has acquired a little sister. <G> A Coronado C15 in need of a bit of fix up to put her back in rules legal form. Keeping with the theme that boats are for escape from the pressures/problems of the real world, and acknowledging that little sis is a bit hot...

Hey, if one removes either the rear or front set of tires on a tandem, then it behaves as a single, and this method would work..might not make the remaining axle or tire happy, but it would only be for a bit while you lift the boat..I wonder.... (I do get in trouble a lot right after I say that, tho...

OOOOOPS. just noticed my copy and paste went wrong..should end in "html" not "htm"

try this link..not sure if it works as well for tandem axles as singles, but it is a neat animation...

Selah,
In case I haven't said it lately, thanks for the time, effort, and whatever else you put into making the board work for us.

It is a valuable resource, and so thanks again..

Smooth sailing and full sails to you..

Hello Renfam..I hope I'm not being redundant here..If you are looking for how to replace the lines: Go to the Chrysler site at: http://chryslersailing.lizards.net/ Click on "how-to" at the left, then choose the article "How to Repair Your Rudder Assembly" Scroll down a bit and yo...

I wonder about the design on the C26 sometimes...let's see they put foam in the C22 for flotation.....and what do they put in the C26 ? Half a ton of concrete and lead in the bilge, and pretty of room in the bow for water to fill up...<LOL>.....

If you mean under the v-berth deck in front of the ice chest storage, yes, it is open under there all the way to the hull bottom....my 79 has a hatch cut there (about the center of the vberth plywood), and I've just used it for inspection, but it might be a nice place for storage, assuming you don't...

Hopefully this doesn't show up twice..having a bit of access trouble, and just tried posting this reply, but crashed..

Will have to speak from limited knowledge, crawling around re-wiring and replumbing the head on my C26, and what i've read..the vberth and rear berth areas are plywood floors..the salon berths and the area at the head going into the vberth seem to be precast fiberglass units set in the hull and epox...

I'd sure like a set if you can copy and paste then into paint or such..I'm probably going to have to have a crane place EE on a large flatbed to move to my house for a winter restoration, and these might help me design the cradle for the flatbed..

Don't know anything about the C-20's personally, but you can find a manual, some info, etc. at:

http://chryslersailing.lizards.net/

Click on the "how to" link and scroll down to the "how to tell your boat year" link as well...

Don't feel bad, I sent it to my wife with a note that said "nice C26"..

How can you tell the difference ? Easy..the boat in the picture has 4 leaky portlights, a C26 would have 6..<LOL>

Have a look here...may give you an idea...

Here's what I am doing for EE (a C26), maybe it will help you..I scoured around the web from photos of C26's, front views, side shots, stern pics, pics on the hard, etc. Knowing that I have a beam of about 8', a used a head on bow shot, drew a grid on the pic, and guess-timated measurements based on...

Congratulations and welcome to the group ! Your boat may be a C-13 "Pirateer" or an LS-13 "Lone Star", not sure what if any others are 13'... Check the transom area for a plate with the Hull Identification Number...likely will start with "CBC" as that is the manufacture...

This should show it..basically a piece of 1 1/4" PVC pipe thru the oarlocks with a tee in it, another tee for the boom. In between those a male and a female threaded coupling screwed on a few turns so it could tighten or loosen allowing the boom to swing..mainsail could have big a bit bigger if...

Selah,

Isa 33:23....<LOL>

Very sorry to hear...if I understood, you said the deal was he was to make delivery (of a working sailboat) ? If so, he did not complete the deal...its not as though you picked the boat up, and then it was dismasted..It was under his control and you had not yet taken possession of it, and the item y...

Taken July 8th, just outside the breakers at Fort Morgan, Alabama..
rubber raft and shower curtain liner
from the local dollar store,
PVC stuff and line from the Home Depot..
actually scooted along fairly well...

You can find a manual at:

http://chryslersailing.lizards.net/

but it will likely not tell you anything about the swing keel...
