My C-22 winches/cleats are exactly like Gus'. That must be the way that they came from the factory. A previous owner must not have liked the way that the line crossed itself on the starboard side, so a cam cleat was installed outboard of the stock cleat.

Good eye, Patrick. I picked my January/February issue. It looks like it has some good ideas!

Positioning the car is pretty simple on the C-22. I have four 1/4 diameter inch pins in the holes in the traveler, and I move the car into position by hand and pin it on both sides. I have no difficulty doing this as long as I move the boom with one hand and the car with the other. I anticipate the ...

Let me take a stab at this...The handle is turned in the clockwise direction to raise the keel, and in the counter clockwise direction to lower it. Naturally, it will be easier to lower than to raise the keel due to the weight. It will not freewheel if you release the handle--there is friction both ...

I spent the last winter restoring a C-22. I would sure appreciate it if you could post copies of your documentation here. Most of the restoration and sailing that I have done is by instinct...I sure would like to know if I am doing it right!!

Mine has a 2001 Johnson 9.9 20" long shaft. I thought about a lower horsepower unit, but I am convinced that a 3000 pound boat needs the 9.9. I think that some of the lighter 22' trailerables could get away with a smaller motor, like a 5hp.

I just re-rigged mine using 3/16 dacron. I used a standard stopper knot, but I slipped a 1/4" stainless flat washer on ahead of the knot before I pushed it back into the hole in the rudder.

I fixed mine using 1/8" starboard. It works great!
