Chrylser Muskateer Catamaran Wanted
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Wanted: Chrysler Muskateer: I have a 1974 Chrysler Muskateer C-16. Bought it new and still race it currently. My decks are getting spongey so I'm looking for a C-16 for parts or if there are current sailors of this boat would appreciate conversation on it. I feel like I am the only Muskateer owner left on the planet.
Tring to drag the cat in.

It's quite a conversation piece thats for sure. Especially when they find out I bought it new or should I say my dad did when I was 14, 1974, $2,600.00. I raced Saturday and had to take 2nd due to my handicap of 153 to a Tremolino whos' handicap is 168 since i finshed ahead by only 4 minutes. Overall I'm currently second in our community fleet of 27 boats of various types. I get a kick when I beat a Hobie Tiger with a 36 yr old Chrysler. Pictures to down loaded soon.
Musketeer In the Desert
So I just purchased my first Sailboat!!
It was cheap and I always wanted one so i dove in. I put some air in the tires and untangled the mess of rope and cables and brought her home. Then the research started. Come to find out that I have a 1973 C-16 Musketeer. Mostly complete I think(Cant find and info on what she is supposed to look like).
Does anyone have a manual or pictures that I could reference?
Hope I'm not to late in this discussion and there is someone out there that has one or has seen one.
About the desert part, I live in Central New Mexico.
I didn't know that i was getting such a rare classic.Was hoping to toss a little cash at her and she would be race ready. Seems like it may be more difficult than that.
Thanks
