I had originally thought I would try to upgrade the OEM traveler car...I have abandoned that idea. I found a very good deal on the Harken website in the Clearance items. I purchased a 27mm Non-CB traveler car with forged shackle for $52 instead of the $165 price tag. I sent an inquiry email to Harke...

Thanks for the comments everyone. I like your shelf install Greg. If I do install anything there it will be something like yours.

I have not used the mast hinge yet, but I do know that the bridles are still needed....will do video next year when I rig her.

Here is the culmination of 5 years of work on my C22...Scheduled launch, late spring of 2016.

Here is a short video showing my install of the Dwyer mast hinge on my C22

If you want to remove a core of the foam thru one of the holes under the metal caps, you can use 1/2 inch thinwall electrical conduit also known as EMT...electrical metallic tubing. Cut it long enough to reach the bottom of the foam with some left above to grip with a channel lock pliers. Take a sma...

My boat had a little water saturated in the starboard foam flotation...approximately 5 or 6 inches near the bottom. I knew this because I removed the metal hole closers all along the starboard side and used a 1/2 inch electrical conduit to remove core samples at various points. I then inserted a woo...

The pin only goes in about 1 1/2 inch into the mast base and only needs to go into the boom far enough so it doesn't pop out accidentally while setting up...6 inches would be plenty I think.

Welcome Tom, I am located in Kenosha. All questions regarding the boat are welcome. Mine is also a 76...there is virtually no part of this boat I haven't taken apart, repaired or replaced.

You definitely have some work ahead of you. Good thing you have some knowledge on glassing. You can also add some type of support system inside the cabin, beneath the companionway step area.

Welcome aboard Roger..ask questions as they come up and someone will surely help out.

Thanks Bill...the ways that I have repaired or renovated are not the only way to do things. There are many different fixes that the folks on the forum have used, so research them all and use what appeals to you.

Welcome Bill, If you have any questions pleses feel free to ask here on the forum. You can also send a message to me for my humble opinion. There is almost no part of the C22 that I haven't had apart, replaced or repaired. I also have videos of the work I have done...most posted in the documents pag...

Way to go Capt. Scott....yahoo!!! I have a spinnaker that came with the boat and a pole too. I may even be able to fly it someday...scheduled first launch is next summer. working fast and furious now to get her completed...video tour coming within a month or so.

Another possibility would be to have someone try to move the boat forward as you apply cranking tension on the keel winch.

good pictures and good description....thank you for posting

Thanx for posting your experience with that product.

Looks good and welcome aboard the forum.

Wow !!! Looks like a harder task than when I did my keel on the 22. Thanks for posting.

Geentry...sorry here is the link...http://www.captainscottsailing.com/php/ ... ocList.php

Gentry...go to this link and look at the documents...you probably have a Barracuda or Pirateer.

Gentry...you should post your questions under the Daysailors topic heading. You will get a better response there most likely.

Just downloaded it...Thanks Reality

I also get excited at C22 sightings...

Good info Greg and nice looking boat too.

Thanx Cap'n

Regular West System epoxy is a good barrier coat...but you should then cover it with paint to protect from UV.

Excellent...thanx for posting a great idea.

My scupper screens were on the outer transom bottom holes. Is that where they are supposed to be?

Thanx Cap'n...
