New C22 owner
Hi folks, I just pulled a 1976 C22 home to Green Bay, WI yesterday. Aside from missing the mast spreaders, it looks to be pretty complete and in good shape. It has been sitting for years, so the decks and rigging are beyond filthy. The rudder blade is in the cabin, so I hope all the pieces are there. I'll be doing a complete inventory in the next couple of days, so I'm sure to have some questions for the group. Only 6 months and 5 days until sailing season starts!! Larry

Welcome aboard!
Glad to have ya here and shoot away with questions! There are a lot of folks and between us we've done just about everything to these boats!
FYI, as EE said, spreaders are and easy replacement. Originally they are simple alumium pipes. I swapped mine for some foil type. No reason other than they look cool! LOL! Well, OK, there is more room to mount lights and a flag halyard! At least that is what I told my bride!
Again Welcome!

Thanks, but I found the spreaders. They had been squirelled away under the V-berth. Still missing the pivot bolt for the rudder, but it looks like it's just a 1/2" SS about 4" long. What is a good product to clean dirt, mold, and tree sap off the translucent hatch panels? I also have a hole on the starboard side that I assume is for the sink drain. I'll be plugging that, and may chuck the whole sink/stove combo unless anyone wants it.

Reminds me, if you didn't find it yet, there's an excellent high res manual if you go to the main page at
http://chryslersailors.com/
and drill down under documents. Probably the best manual we have as far as quality and details...
5/16" x 2 1/2" for that bolt it says..

Just a note to everyone...Larry and I met out on I94 and HWY 50 in Kenosha county for coffee, on his way home with the boat. Larry is a good guy in my estimation and it looked to me like he has a good solid boat to spruce up.
Good luck to you Larry and thanks for the nice visit...hope we meet up out on Lake Michigan sometime.

Welcome to the forum and good luck with your C22. Come to think of it, it seems to be raining C22s of late... not that it's a bad thing. I know that E.E. is working on a C26 as am I but when was the last time you heard of a new member starting out with a C26? Not a big deal... just curious. Sorry that I lost my train of thought, this is a welcoming post. Again welcome Larry and may you have many a long hour of sailing fun on your new toy.

Welcome Larry!
I'm less than a year into The Coreth, a 1977 C22. Bought it already slipped at a quaint little marina here on the Puget Sound this past March. Spent many a hour initially getting her sea-worthy. Then, spent all summer learning how to sail. What a GREAT boat She is & I'm excited for you! Welcome, Brother
Best Wishes,
Corey
