I have trailered my C22 from Michigan to the Florida Keys and back about 3,300 miles round trip. I used a 2" rachet tie down at the bow. It was hooked to the bow deck cleat run down under the trailer and up the other side to the same deck cleat. Then put another at the stern. Make sure to tie a...

I have two C22 spinnakers will sell one or both. The orange and white one came with my boat the blue and white one my dad just found in his attic (came from his C22 he sold 30 years ago has been in its bag since then). Both are in good condition with no stains or tears or repairs. Both are .75 I hav...

Jay,

PM me I have a spinnaker and might be willing to sell the pole also. The spinnaker is orange and white. Not to far away either for pick up.

You can also tighten the lifelines by moving them up on the bow pulpit. Mine are actually almost to the top of the pulpit rail. The jib does hit it at times but has never been a problem. Having younger kids on board I like the lifelines higher all the way to the bow. The small line could be a toppin...

Gregg,

Yes I have the 6 gallon plastic Chrysler gas can but I need to keep the hose for my new motor. Do you need the controls and the cables too?

My 10 hp sailor scored one cylinder and piston last summer when my impeller failed. Since parts a hard to find I decided it was time to look for something newer. I found a lightly used 9.9 Nissan 2 stroke with electric start and controls. I am not sure what year the Chrysler is but it is a 10 hp ele...

If I remember correctly the tall rig was offered as an option. When I was shopping for my C22 I looked at one that had the tall rig with a swing keel and the seller was the original owner. The boat had several soft spots on the deck and the trailer had been damaged in the boat yard so I passed on it.

I found these on Detroit Craigslist

My Chrysler 10 hp sailor burned up when my impeller went out. I am now looking for a new outboard. 20&26 would you be interested in selling one?

Guy,

thePartydog found this listing and put it in the for sale section.

The ad states there is a boom for sale may be worth checking out.

Tom, I'm in the same situation. My 10 hp Chrysler sailor impeller want out at the end of this season. I replaced it but the motor started hard and ran rough. I took it in to have it checked and have the same problems you do. I was planning on taking my C22 to the Florida Keys over Christmas break. T...

If anyone is looking I found this on the Kalamazoo Michigan Craigslist.

First winter project- New trailer lights. Then haul it to the Florida Keys for two weeks of sailing over the holidays. While there add to the to-do list. Bring it home to Michigan wrap it in its cozy blue winter blanket (also called a tarp). Dream of sailing for four months. Start the work on the li...

I like the idea of having the tiller above knees. Looks like it might be a pain for the traveller though.

My dad had a 26' S2 back in the early 1980's that had internal halyards. One downfall is that you cann't tie them off and they tended to clang when the boat rocked in port. Can be very annoying when trying to sleep.

You might be an obsessed Chrysler sailboat owner if you carry a picture of your boat in your wallet but no pictures of your kids.

Looks great! I would be interested in one for a C-22.

All right I still don't know how to post a picture yet!

Just don't launch his way!!! Bubba had just bought a new boat and decided to take her for the maiden voyage. This was his first boat and he wasn't quite sure of the exact Standard Operating Procedures for launching it off a ramp, but figured it couldn't be too hard. He consulted his local boat deale...

Capt Scott- Do your lines rub on the deck between your turning blocks due to the curve of the deck?

Mario G- Do the jam cleats hold the halyards without slipping?

Thanks for all the help!

Scott, Is there a backing plate inside for the turning blocks? I am set for the extra lenghth on the halyards. I bought my boat last year and needed to replace the running rigging. The local West Marine store was closing and I was lucky enough to be shopping the day they had 75% off all their lines....

I am planning on running my main and jib halyards to the cockpit on my C22. For those of you that have done this - what is the best set-up? I would like to put on rope clutches. Can both lines be run on the same side or should one be run on each side of the companionway hatch?

Paul, I have a 1975 C-22 with a rectangular boom. It is 3 1/2" x 1 1/4". The over-all length is 8' 6" that does not include the goose neck that attaches to the mast. The distance from the mast end to the boom vang fitting is 3'. I just pulled my boat so it is sitting on a trailer in m...

Came across this listing don't know if it will help but it sounds nice.

I have a spinnaker that came with my C22. It is orange and white. Since I have a nice hood drifter I will never use the spinnaker. If someone is interested I will get some pictures of it and post them. Not sure of the fair market value.

I lock the main hatch with a combination lock. Then keep the other keys inside the cabin. As long as I remember the combination I can get in.

The valve is to drain the sink. I don't use mine but I have heard if the valve is left open when under way you can take on water thru it. Make sure it is closed and see what happens.

EE,

Thanks for the work you do to keep this forum up and running.
