Any advice for a novice sailor on where to place said blocks (fore and aft) in relation to different size headsails? Tom Capt Bondo has good advice on which way to move and mark the blocks. You can also get a ballpark location by sighting along the jib sheet towards the sail. That line should usual...

Had same issue with EE; I just substituted small clevis pins with clips for the bolts/nuts where the top of the steps attached to the brackets. To keep the lower end from sliding forward I used small strips of teak to make a 'stop' in front of them. Remove the clips and pins, pull the steps, and sto...

You'll probably have to look thru the on line catalogs at http://www.rigrite.com/ or a similar site and hope for something similar since there are no parts for the old boats per se ..since those two parts are attachment point you may can get some flat straps to attach to each end of the boom and dri...

AS EE said, you might do better just measuring what you have for standing rigging and get a sail that is close to fit! As an example I purchased a brand new mizzen sail off a large ketch. Used it as a main for a C22! Worked perfectly as the sizes were almost a perfect match! Saved a ton of money ov...

Welcome ! One thing about leaks at the stanchions that would concern me is was any water damage done to the deck core around the stanchions, so look for soft spots there. The boats are somewhat prone to toerail leaks, but no more than others of the same design.. I think the C20, C22, and C26 all hav...

Re: C22 mainsail backhaul

At the boom end, there is no block, no turn-around that I can tell, and other than using the clevis pin itself as a turn-around, I'm not sure what was intended. Stock setup should have the block at the boom end.. http://captainscottsailing.com/ChryslerDocs/C22_Sandpiper/c22boom.pdf Don't have pics ...

Sorry to hear that. Sadly I don't know of any replacement sources, other than finding a donor boat, or a boom and sail that fits close enough on Ebay. I had to do that for my Coronado C15 which came with neither item..

Agree with monty; the part about squeezing the bulb indicates that because you in effect were being the pump- the Sailors 2xx's have a diaphragm pump, and that gets either split, brittle, or pooched out with age, especially if you've used ethanol fuel. Could be yours is split and you could squeeze f...

Cool pics - did you have any issues getting the bolts out of the keel shoe ?

I always wonder about the nuts to receive the bolts, and where they are - guess they dropped something like a plate in place before they did the ballast pour or something..

The HIN should be right above where your finger is in the pic, right under that plaque. It is embossed into the hull, so perhaps it was painted over and filled in
