Hi all
I love this site found it about a month ago while researching chrysler sailboats.
About two weeks my wife and I became proud owners of a 1979 26 foot chrysler sailboat.
We bought it from a dear friend who we have know for 35 years. She is in mint condition. Has not been in the water for about 13 years. He kept it covered and up on blocks. had to replaced the tires and put new batters in. Will replace the motor with a mercury 9.9 bigfoot prokicker. Can't wait to get her in the water sence it has been about 30 years sence we have been saling.

Boat looks real nice from what I can tell from the avatar. Nice to have a dual-axle trailer, too!

My wife and I are also new owners of a Chrysler 26. We bought it off of a couple located in Minnesota a few months ago. They had sailed it only in fresh water and kept it stored indoors. It seems to be its in pretty good shape too. The swing keel it certainly helps with trailering and launching. Good Luck with the new boat. Hope you are able to get it in the water and enjoy it soon.

Hi Yall, wow lots of new owners and members just like my wife and I who bought a 78 C-26 in the middle Keys hauled her and restored top side and installed the idasailor rudder, when we splashed we had 30 knot winds and 6-8 foot seas, we sailed her 30 miles to the Lower Keys, this is one well built boat, we have rewired her except for the mast, gotta go up,
now comes the outfitting for Bahamas trips and the whole salon area needs help, we need cushions etc. so please any feedback or leads would be great, A BIG THANKS to all the sailors who made and make this site possible, we are honored to be new members
PS planning on a 4 night trip to the Dry Tortugas this fall, come on down
