Thanks for all the insight, guys! To answer some of the questions, we've had the boat in for the last 4 summers in a slip. We sail her about 4 hours per week on average. When I discovered this problem, there was about an inch of water in the compartment and some mold. I'm not sure how long the water...

Is this bad?
Hey guys, Our boat is a C-22, and we've had her for about 4 years now. I was getting the boat ready for our first overnight of the season, and I found some water in the port compartment where the keel pin is. Additionally, there appears to be some wood in there that seems wet, moldy, and starting to...

Yes, it's a Honda 9.9... It's a bit heavy, but not too heavy. It's probably more power than we need, but it came with the boat at a great price. There have been times out on the bay when we've been glad we had it. For example, when the Tall Ships were in Newport, everyone with a boat was out on the ...

Well, gee... I want one! You can see from my picture that yours is very different. http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2457/3579722534_84779f67c8.jpg Do you think yours is strong enough to sit on? As you can imagine, ours can't take much weight at all. We need a place to hang on when pulling up our outbo...

Stern rail
Hi all, I see from peoples' photos that some of you have a really nice stern rail that comes around to the sides of the boat and attaches to the lifelines. Our C22 just has a rail on the transom that really does little other than hold the mast while it's horizontal on the hard. Were those stern rail...

Halyard Tension
Hi folks, As our sails get older, particularly the main, I'm finding I need to add more and more tension on the halyard to get more life out of them. You may have noticed in the photos I posted earlier that the main lacked some tension. My question for the group is how do you tighten up your halyard...

I'd be thrilled if you could please scan this to a high-res PDF and share it!
The manual on the http://chryslersailing.lizards.net/ site is all GIF files which are not very good for text (or images really).

Steve,
Your's actually looks a little nicer than ours. It looks like a rig similar to the one in this video:

Though you may be missing the blocks, cam cleats, and sheets that are supposed to accompany it.

I think our traveler is original as well. We have a series of holes along the track and a pair of pins. The car runs along the track, and the pins prevent the car from going too far in either direction. Most often we set the pins to keep the car in the middle of the track, but when we're trying to s...

On our C22, we never used to loosen the turnbuckles prior to stepping or lowering the mast. This year we invested in all new shrouds and turnbuckles, so it was a bit of a wonder as to how much slack there'd be once she was up. We don't have a hinge, just the old hook. Honestly, I haven't even tried ...

Thanks guys. A rigid vang seems a bit much for the sailing we do on our little C22. Plus, on our boat we have a loose footed sail with a boom that's allowed to twist. I think if you had a rigid vang, you would limit the boom from being able to twist. Billy, a measurement would be great! thanks! Matt

Boom Vang Installation
Hey folks, I'd like to install a boom vang on Elixir (C22) this season. I picked up a 4:1 kit from our local supplier. My question for the group: Is there a specific angle one should try to achieve between the mast and the vang? That is, I intend to mount it to the base of the mast, but how far down...

On a similar note, we are also looking for some jib sheet insight. We just got a new jib (120%) and it looks beautiful. However, to get a nice shape out of the jib, I need a block further forward. I've put a snatch block on the toe rail, but from this location the jib sheet puts pressure on the life...
