Does anyone out there race a c-22?? I'm looking for some tips
on keel position and rig tuning. I've been racing a Buccaneer 22
and have just come into possesion of a C-22 ('76) in good shape.


Thanks, Mike

GREAT QUESTION. I'd love to have some tips and tricks too. Especially I'd lke to know about proper tension on the forstay, shrouds and backstay.

Rich,
Can't remember where I saw this and I'm not sure how accurate it is......
Maybe someone will part with some practical knowledge. I belong to a Bayliner
Buccaneer board and everyone there is very helpful, but that board is a very
active board with people posting every day.

fore and aft stays 425 to 450 lbs
upper stays 373 to 400 lbs
lower stays 325 to 350 lbs

I believe that is using the Loos scale....
