Adding weight sounds like a simple idea, but keep in mind the resistance you give the boat to the wind with weight does not come free. Something on the boat has to make up the difference... upper and lower shrouds and chain plates are the first things that come to mind for me. Can you say dis masted...

Yes, it's amazing how fast a boat shrinks! The 22 you are looking at is not a 4000.00 boat. You should be able to pick up a boat in that condition for around 2500.00, and that may be too much. These Chrysler's are good boats, sturdy, well built, and worth while projects if bought at the right price....

For better or worse I'll kick in my two cents worth. Unless the boat just came out of a complete refit, including a bottom job, good keel brackets, and great sails $4000 is way too much money for that boat. Sail boats are still a dime a dozen these days. If you like the boat don't be afraid to cut t...

Something to keep in mind working with fiberglass is polyester resin (common Fiberglass resin you find in the automotive shops) has a very weak bond to cured fiberglass structures. Therefore one should use an epoxy resin when doing these types of repairs. The epoxy takes longer to cure, but on the o...

When the wind got up I'd use the Genoa alone and found the boat (C22) to be very comfortable and responsive. I experimented with the main alone and found the boat to be sluggish and less responsive, so I always started with the Genoa then added the main reefed. I think you made a good call not to ta...

How about using a telescoping pool cleaning handle, those things are really long.

If it were my boat I would remove the temp repair, apply heat to the damaged area in the form of a small heater in close proximity using some sort of box or other containing devise to keep the heat localized. I'd let that run for about 24 hrs. (making sure the temp stays within reason, say no more t...

I towed my Chrysler 10 hours one way then 10 hrs back last year at interstate speeds. The boat and trailer did fine, easier than towing a travel trailer by far. Check bearings and tire inflation for sure, more importantly in my book is to carry a spare tire and make sure you have a jack and tools to...

Sorry you got burned on the boat. The seller sounds like a real piece of work. I would go to Ebay and open a dispute due to the sellers dishonesty and misrepresentation, she owes you a partial refund. I would strongly recommend you check with your local registration office before you invest more tim...

Great web site.
Just wanted to comment on the greatness of this web site and the members within. I did a bit of travel for work and ended up in the Dallas area for a couple of weeks. I have done this a couple of times in the past and know all to well what a weekend in a strange town can be like. This is where the C...

Before you run out and buy hardware, check to see if the back stay (the cable for the back of the mast) turnbuckle is turned in too much (too short). Looking at the picture of your fore stay turnbuckle I'd say you have room for adjustment still ( in a way to make it longer). keep in mind that you wi...

Need crew?
Spending some time in the Dallas area for the next three weeks with nothing to do on the weekends. Hate to invite myself aboard. Just saying if anyone in the area needs a hand I'll be around, even if it's just working on one.

Hello Adam, I have had both the C20 and C22 boats and can testify to there sailing ability. They are both great boats. The C20 is more closely related to the C26 than the C22 in hull and swing keel design. Like you, I wasn't crazy about the rudder to outboard interference. At the same time I learned...

Both motors are in very good condition and run nicely. I have replaced the impellers and lower unit oil in both motors and they are ...

I pulled the 22 over 1200 mile with my f150 equipped with the 5.8l and an automatic trany. The truck got about 11 per gal and was comfortable at speeds of 65 and 70, and that was without trailer brakes. The truck had no problems stopping the weight. I think one of the most important factors to consi...
