Just wanted to post my new member status. I bought a '76' Sandpiper 22 a couple of months ago, feel like I got a great deal on a great sailboat, and have been learning to sail. Not much experience yet but I am picking it up.

I am on Lake Norman in North Carolina, a good place to learn and have some fun. Looking forward to many more years of fun with the Chrysler.

Also, I am glad to be a part of this forum and have the resources available in case I need some answers. Regards to all. Jeff

Welcome to the forum, I believe there are other Chryslers that sail Lake Norman's waters as well. I can't say when, but Lake Norman is on my list of Eastern lakes to sail when the overhaul of my c26 is completed. Post a photo of your boat if you can, we would all like to see it.

Welcome aboard and thanks for the patience. (Traveler was one of the registrations that was in limbo till I found it.)

Curious... is Sandpiper the name given to the C-22 like the Man-o-war and Mutineer are for the C-15's and the Buccaneer is for the C-18?

Yup, and the 26 was/is the Courser

The CY-30 was apparently the "Osprey". Never seen a name for the C-20 though.

E.E.

It's a real shame Chrysler more or less came to an end with the c26... a 30' Chrysler I'm sure most would agree, particularly those who like the big lake would have been a sweet sailboat.

True. It sort of went on to be the Ticon T-30.

Welcome Traveler I started on Belew's lake last year on our C-22 and had great times. The leaves will be changing soon, I'm thinking of taking the C-22 out soon.

You are killing me with the C-30 talk ... Is there ones to be found... time for a new topic

IIRC the CY-30 was a prototype that was shown just as Chrysler was exiting the scene. Was sold with the others in the line to Texas Marine(TMI) then as a Ticon, but less than forty were built.

Windward has some TMI-30 pics here

There's a video clip for the Ticon 30 included with this old ad
