Bill, you might not be wrong however maybe your info is dated! LOL! Surge brakes were not even recommended by DOT until 2007. I will state again, I am no expert! AS far as the two main types of brakes for a boat, each has its own plus's and minus's! I personally have no fear of either. That is as lo...

I doubt that Bill!
I've seen some of the impressive effort you have put into your baby!

Saturday was a beautiful day! We woke up, had breakfast, and headed up to the marina with our pressure washer! My beautiful bride spent the next few hours down below just picking up, cleaning, arranging things, etc. For the next few hours I could be found topsides pressure washing almost a years wor...

Well, first of all, I am no brake expert. So anything I say about brakes is merely personal opinion and not worth a teaspoon of salt! LOL! There are several factors to consider in my book. However safety and cost are the two that tend to weigh in the most. If budget is an issue, maybe you can take t...

Hello, I've purchased other items from ETrailer.com and was very satisfied with the purchase! https://www.etrailer.com/dept-pg-Trailer_Brakes-sf-Electric_Drum_Brakes.aspx I used electric brakes on my original Chrysler trailer for a 22'er with great success once I figured out the wiring! The previous...

Welcome aboard or . . . . Welcome back! Great history on where you've been and have come from! No doubt the size of the boat impacts the effort! Irwins are pretty well know cruising boats! They seem to be gaining popularity here in the Pacific Northwest! You'll have plenty of help from the C26 crew ...

Take a good look at why it is jamming while you have the mast down. Could be something has come loose up there. I had a boat do that a lot and all I had to do was tighten up the pin that held the sheave in place. Basically the top was opened up a tad bit and just needed to be tightened back down! Sc...

Hey all, I was finally able to connect with Alan! Alan has been MIA from the forum for a while now! In short all is well in his world and getting better! For those who do not know Alan, he is a long time member here and lives very close to me. We sail together sometimes and the photo on our main pag...

As far South as Seattle! LOL!
We have the Salish Sea here as well as the sound!

We almost never have ice issues however you might freeze your behind!

Good morning, Just want to let you know we are making some changes that will hopefully go unnoticed. However if you have any issues logging into the forum over the next few days, please just retry. Again, we expect no impacts to users but I've been around computers long enough to know that is rare! ...

Welcome aboard!
Please check out our documents page! It is quite extensive on the c22!

Just FYI, the main and JIb halyards can technically be rigged any way you want. However the standard/common method is the main halyard to starboard and the jib halyard to port. I would stick to standards only because it will be easier for you when you change boats and easier for experienced crew on ...

Let me know if you have questions, the sail is a great lighter air day sail.
We used it many times on Lady Jo II.

I will PM you my cell number and home email if you wish to chat.

Thanks
Scott

This sail was used on a C22. This is not an original factory sail to C22.

It is a bit small and would be a great trainer sail as it has a sock and is easily manageable with a small crew.

Hi John, Not sure if this is the same motor or not but it provides a parts list including the remote control kit. Click on documents in my signature and scroll down to the outboards section near the bottom. Click the first link and scroll down to page 21 to see the Accessories Parts list. You will s...

Great info! Thanks for sharing!
You should post pics!

Scott

My answer was a Mast plate with turning blocks under the mast hook or hinge and then cheek blocks on the coach top turning the lines aft. I also added cleats on the coach top to tie the halyard off!

As Stated, not required by Coast Guard nor needed for general sailing. Racing needs them for boat identification! With a lot of sailboats together it is very difficult to identify who is who even with numbers sometimes! FYI, For Chrysler boats the sail numbers have nothing to do with the hull number...

Wish you were in Puget Sound!
I'd love to give her a sail!

You should like the Beneteau! We love ours!
Scott

Hi Bob, This might be a case of the hull oil panning. Before you give up hope, there is the possibility the hull can be simply pushed back into place. I've seen several Catalinas like this. It is fairly common when a boat sits full of water that the hull pops inward from the weight. Sometimes it can...

Welcome to the forum!
Wish I could help you with the motor! Maybe someone will chime in soon!

Anyone here like Pachinko Machines? Just curious! I have a pair of mid 1970's Pachinko Machines hanging in my garage! Everyone from little kids to my father love them! Just can't walk by without flipping the levers and trying to win! LOL! Last fall I stumbled into what I believe to be a late 50's Pa...

Just a float is not a bad idea! One of my babies was so rough when I bought her that I took her to the marina and off the trailer! Just to let her sit for a couple of hours at the dock! Got some strange looks from fishermen that day when I launched her with the mast still on deck and not stepped! LO...

OLD POST but . . . .

Welcome to the forum! A quick google search offered nothing to your question. I'd simply contact a manufacturer and ask what a safe dilution would be for a fiberglass boat. I did find one site indicating fiberglass tanks for storage of that stuff. I'd not likely risk it though without some info firs...

Welcome aboard 909Groomer! Congrats on buying a great boat! The C22 is a wonderful and capable sailor! Fist step for you is to check the documents page in my signature! You will find an abundance of C22 information there! We freely share and you are welcome to download whatever you like! All our doc...

Welcome aboard Conrad! Wish I could help with photos but I do not have an LS16! However if you click the documents link in my signature, it will take you to a page with all our stored documents. Once there scroll down to the Lone Star section and click on the LS 16! We have a nice drawing of the rig...

Lets just say . . . . for giggles . . . . You by chance win the power ball and suddenly money is no longer a problem for you . . . . . Would you upgrade your boat? If so, what size, and why? Would you continue to sail or . . . . . go . . . to . . . . the DARK SIDE . . . My bride and I talk and dream...

Well, dang, I'm back to work!
Good thing is I am now regularly online again and follow the good things going on here!

Happy New year to all!

Scott

Sounds like everyone has great plans for Christmas!

I hope you all enjoy!
