Chrysler Sailors Forum

Ditto and thank you to all that served I was in the Navy but not during war time.

I use the nauti charts app and active captain all the time.

try new england ropes at www.neropes.com I hope this helps.

Very sad news indeed but why was she out? My boat is out and mast came down Saturday. Brining her home after the storms.

I used 1" pipe with a cap and a 5/8" hole drilled for the pin. Gives me 10' and I use a 4:1 purchase and my winch I can stop and cleat it off at any point.

and that chase boat had 4 300 HP outboards what a waste of fuel give it mast keel and rudder and it would be more efficient.

I have some of their blocks and a quality product.

I have the same boom kicker and original Chrysler Vang works great and do not need the topping lift and I can slack the lazy jacks for the sun shade over the boom and biminy and if someone pulls down on the boom it will spring with the kicker so my topping lift is still on the boom.

It is a Chrysler addiction and I have it too and tomorrow mine is coming home and then I will have boat and dinghy outside and dinghy in the back room to work on. Well this one got away but the next one. We will see. Man your wife is never going to let me come over and play at your house. :shock: Th...

I checked and rope size is 3mm to 8mm so that is 1/4 to 5/16 which would be small for our boats. my main sheet is 7/16 on the C-26. I also agree on Harken.

Glad to see you back Mariner and I am getting my C-26 out of the water this weekend logged 395 miles on her this year but she will be back in the water in April.

come on Bruce this means that there is a need to find a Chrysler to give a good home to.

The only time I use shore power is for drill or sanders etc. the boat is not wired for shore power and I also have been solar for 3 years and even when on the hard during the winter the solar panel is outside.

Most marinas also have 3 prong 20 amp outlets at least around the hudson river. I use 2 50' 12 ga. cords usually 1 is enough.

I am in the same situation as Alan and it is far enough away but I am goin to show it to the first mate and see her reaction!!!

Sounds like you had a good time. I went out teaching a friend to sail his Encinada 20 in 8Kt wind and when we got done he decided to put it on the trailer.

my 80 C-26 screws on the outside.

I logged about 350 miles this summer and in 3 weeks she will be on the hard and getting covered.

I love mine and have had good comments on it and many questions on Chrysler sailboats.

GREAT job mate!!!!!

one time I had 2 rather large people on board and they hated switching sides when I tacked and did not want to be on the lee side so I had a brain storm and sat them on each side of the keel trunk great ballast it would have been better to have them on the windward rail adding about 700# but the riv...

I can agree and the first mate will let you know!!!!

Stoked indeed I would love to have that chance you are a lucky guy Jeff.

I use the original Kenyon alchohol in the galley and I have a propane camp stove and use it in the cockpit as cooking inside on hot days I don't do it. I also have a force 10 grill also Propane.

I agree how will sailing promoted if the media (probably stinkpotters) will not give the coverage!!

Glad Pam is on the road to recovery and you had a great time I have done similar and still made it to work on time as well.

Sorry to hear of the situation been there and not fun not knowing.

Great trip Scott and Diane and as always great photo's I always fly a 3'X5' flag off my C-26.

My sail cover and Biminy are from the factory in 1980.

Good work James How did you do refrigeration and battery banks? I have my present solar panel on the stern pulpit and the other 2 will go on the bimini.
