Chrysler Sailors Forum

Fellow Chrysler Fans Terrence from wilmington. This will be my first rewiring job of this magnitude; any advice would be well received. My plans for the eletronics is to go handheld as much as possible, to cut down on the amount of wiring. http://i857.photobucket.com/albums/ab131/hp18carr/R1-12A.jpg...

Hi Clair

This old girl up until now has lived her life in salt waters and has taken a number of shots. After the overhaul if all goes well, I plan to put her out to pasture so to speak. Lake Watauga in Tenn, is where she will spend her golden years.

Lots and lots of prep work to get ready for my 2010 summer projects

Hi Gus Great to hear that someone with hands on experience with Chrysler sailboats is close at hand. I'm sure as I progress with the overhaul of this c26 a helping hand and advice at times may will be needed. I have lived in Wilmington for 90% of my life, I'm sure the town will grow on you. Good Sai...

I do not know how many thay may have, but yes to my understanding thay have some that will fit Chrysler 22's as well. My pair for a c26 was $90... give them a call at 866-400-2204.

Heads up! I just ordered a pair from Idasailor Marine. I'm sure I'll need them when I rework the rudder. Also I was told they still have one pair left. This may be old news, and I'm not trying to drum up business for them but they will make another run of them, if five or more orders are called in. ...

Sorry... my bad forgot to place my name in the post. Terrence from wilmington N.C. I'll be sure and take a number of pics as I go along, but for now I'll only be doing a lot of back yard sailing.

Thanks for the encouragement. Alan had it right... overwhelmed does come to mind. I am sure all those on this Chrysler web who have been down this road before will be my greatest asset. I am hoping the rework will be nearly as fun as sailing, for it will be a good while before Pandora is back in the...

Thanks to all for the congrats on my find, but don't be too envious. She has sat for five years totally neglected, this is not a turn key project. My first thoughts on a new name... Pandora. Thanks Terrence 1980 c26 http://i857.photobucket.com/albums/ab131/hp18carr/R2-19A.jpg http://i857.photobucket...

A belated thank you E.E. the information you provided was just what
I needed.

Hi Jeff Terrence, the same as in years past, I have been by the lake from time to time on our trips to the cabin, but it has taken me this long to stumble on to the right sailboat so to speak. This 1980 c26 has lived a saltwater life, but after I restore it my plans are to bring it up to Watauga lak...

She is not much to look at, but she's mine. When I get her home and start working on her more pics will be coming

Terrence

Just a quick pic of the trailer and 1980 c26 I stumbled across in Wilmington N.C. not twenty miles from my house. If the pic to big let me know.

Thanks for all the support, I'll be stumbling getting pics up on the forum as well, but as soon as I get up to speed I'll give it a try.

I stumbled onto a trailer for a fair price a while back and now I have stumbled onto a 1980 C26 that was left high and dry for five years and all but forgotten. As what seems to be my nature I will be stumbling through the rehab of this old girl. So the information on this forum will be indispensabl...

Thanks for the information keep it coming, useable used trailers for the Chrysler 26' seems to be a hot topic. Sailbob the trailer I am looking at does indeed sound like you EZ type. If it is no troubler e-mail me a photo of you Chrysler 26' on the trailer. ( glidern2954c@excite.com ) I will be chec...

I by chance have stumbled on to one that may fit the bill. The owner said it is 26' long double axled with new tires and bearings, supporting system consists of adjustable arms with rollercoaster's. he said he used it to transport a 26' Helms swing keel sailboat... he must have meant a 25' Helms, a ...

Thanks to all who have or who will give advice, I am sure this information will head me in the right direction

My fellow Chrysler addicts, your sage advice is coveted. I am in the process of Chrysler 26' sailboat hunting and I am considering one or two at this time. The owner of one of them has told me there are cracks froming around the mast step and it would need to be booted or re-fiberglassed soon. In ad...

This is my first try on this forum, so bear with me. I live in Wilmington N.C. I have seen a 26 chrysler before and I feel it could fill the bill. If yours has not been spoken for I'm interested.
