Chrysler Sailors Forum

Wont be able to get it in the water this year, I live in Wisconsin and I have posted some pics and videos on this site in the past The boat is in great shape for its age, it has the highly sought after pop top, one of the nicest ones I have seen. There are some pics here: http://www.zewp.com/dump/th...

Stupid cheap... The boat is old, needs to be cleaned up, needs new ropes, etc. It has been sitting on a trailer for years but it is solid... its such a shame to see a masterpiece not being used for so long, if it was my boast I would be sailing it often and sailing it hard. Couple questions: A) Are ...

I got a great deal on a 1975 Johnson 6 horse recently. I was having trouble with my 1985 Evinrude and this old motor purrs like a kitten. It seems to be perfectly balanced for my 22 foot.

And in case you missed it I really like this video with the waterproof cam above the rails.

You can hear us wooting when we really start picking up speed and the boat is tipping

Nice vid! What camera are you using?

Scott

Its a small Sony flip cam, we got lucky that it was pointing down at us just right

Bhacurly wrote:LOL! Cool!

So did you hoist it up the backsaty or what? Interesting audio too!

I started the recording on the camera and duct taped it to the rope at the top of the main sail. I got over a half hour of this cool footage

mast. It turned out really cool.

IIRC the CY-30 was a prototype that was shown just as Chrysler was exiting the scene. Was sold with the others in the line to Texas Marine(TMI) then as a Ticon, but less than forty were built. Windward has some TMI-30 pics here http://chryslersailing.lizards.net/sail_photos.html#C-30 There's a vide...

Nice video. I sailed Lake Mendota many times in my beach cat days, but we've only had Copacetic there once last summer. Lots of good memories there. Yea its a great sailing lake, plenty big and can even get pretty treacherous when the winds pick up. I spent the money to keep my boat on a pier this ...

Great video! Thanks for sharing!!! What camera are you using? I had a go video for my motorcycle and planned on using it sailing but somehow my son talked me out of it! LOL! Scott Im not sure what the brand is but it is called a "crash cam" and my brother got it at a sporting good store. ...

Here we mounted a waterproof cam right above the rails and we were able to bury it twice in the water toward the end. We were really hauling.

It looks like it is in very good shape. Its amazing to see how cheap these boats are getting, the economy must really be in terrible shape

I was impressed at how much that C22 could handle..My confidence in these chryslers has just sky rocketed :D From the top of the mast to the rudder, everything held up great..what a tank!! :D I was walking on the sides of the boat..The best thing is I dont know how I stayed on :shock: And to think ...

As most of you are probably aware the economy is currently in an unprecedented storm. For the last several years we have seen a deflationary spiral in hard assets like never before and this has become very evident with the value of recreational items in particular boats. Not long ago you couldnt tou...

Here's another you tube video recorded a couple of days ago. It's hard to see but the chop on the lake was about 3-4' and the wind around the front seen in the distance was formidable. Fortunately I have no instrumentation on board or we (my brother and I) might have stayed home and missed a great ...

Hey Heekee, What was up with that mainsail trim on that hunter? Looks like either the sail was not up all the way, or you have a loose downhaul. http://www.cyberdronics.com/boat/badmain.jpg In high winds, you want that sail nice and flat. Get those wrinkles out! Good point, even though the sails ap...

Another pic, Chrysler 22 in action http://www.zewg.net/dump/photo/sandpiperyotlightbreeze.JPG Here is my Chrysler with full sails and a slight breeze on Saturday http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y_evRQIMGIs Then the next day my outboard died again so we all piled into the Hunter for some 25 knot winds...

Cool to be out there with a friend along side sailing too eh!

Yea it is a ton of fun with another boat because it gives you something to chase or run from

I have the same boat and I have had to replace my rudder line twice so far this year since I need to make a mile long trek up and down a shallow river channel packed with weeds every time I go out. Unless the rope is getting caught somewhere in the joint I cant think of any wrong way to hook it up i...

Very nice boat, looks almost new!

Well, the Hunter is nice in the pics and vid, but how about the Chrysler ? Ah yes, still waiting for my brother to send me some of the pics he took of my Chrysler in action, he was in the other boat, so far I only have pics of the boat sitting on the dock http://www.zewg.net/dump/photo/sandpiperyot...

Got to sail both boats this weekend and try out the new Hunter. These pics are from Saturday, on Sunday we sailed the Hunter in winds as high as 23 knots. Just having the main sail up was enough to heel the boat all the way over but it handled really well in the choppy water. Not bad considering it ...

I got a sweet deal earlier this year on my Chrysler for $2500, It was in great condition and it came with a harken roller furling. Now when my Uncle and I came across a 1985 Hunter 23 for $1500 we jumped on it even thought it was incredibly dirty and was sitting in someones back yard for the past 7 ...

That raises another question, can this boat be sailed with the keel up?

Welcome and what a great video. I have what I call washed the windows on my 75 C-22 a few times and it never seemed to do better then me and the crew. I know its slower to run the rail in the water but it sure is fun. It was pretty funny the first time we went out. It was windy and my uncle who got...

Im relatively new to sailing and acquired a 1980 Chrysler Sandpiper this year. While sailing in fairly heavy winds I have heeled until the water is just over the side rails but with the keel down it almost seems that no matter how heavy the wind is the boat remains stable. I suspect that there would...
