Bob! So nice to see a post referenced from you! I hope you're doing well and still sailing! I think of you and our visit...and of my other 'ol Chryslersailor buds each time I pass through Pinconning on our way to Hubbard Lake. I do so miss my C-20 still, but the '69 Newport Holiday 20 has been a goo...

You poor guy Bill! LOL! Wifey made you buy a bigger boat. That's a hoot. I must rely on strategy and timing. My Newport was purchased directly after my dearest went to a Thirty-One home party. Designer bags.... BAGS!!! She came home with custom DESIGNER bags for lunch, shopping, Christmas gifts... a...

Just Stopped by to Say Hi.....
.... and wish all my CS buds a great Labor Day weekend! No, I haven't found my dream boat yet and am still working w boats that are a good fit logistically and financially (...and maritally). Just got rid of the O'Day DS2. Nice boat, but a bit tender for my tastes. I'm admittedly spoiled after ownin...

Bob, sorry to hear you've been having a dry summer so far. Your 20's surely a nice one, but I'm still in the same driveway space situation for now. You should have seen the wif's eyes when she pulled in and saw the MOW hooked up to the back of the car. They got as big as duck eggs! I assured her tha...

Something Olde, Something New, Something Borrowed, Something
....RED! Borrowed my brothers $200 MOW for the CreekFleet races since my DS2 is in dry dock for repair. So nice to be back in a Chrysler! MOWIE WOWIE! The Man o' War has a very smart design and faster than heck! To set up, and for sailing. I really like this boat and may borrow again since he never ...

In a sea of old folks........ I love it, and give it an A+ (nice pics too)! You are definitely not an oldster though, I would even say just shy of a 'tweener', being in your thirties. I may be prejudiced, but people who enjoy sailing are a little different from the average boater... and people who e...

The 20's are great boats, but notorious top leakers due to a flawed rail design that holds water in. As a former C-20 owner I would make sure what needs to be solid is. eg, the plywood that holds the keel winch, the mast step, the wood that supports the standing rigging, etc. You can easily go way o...

Nothing stuck, it's just the idea of the thing....grrrrr. (It's Michigan, we don't put the snow shovels in the attic until June 1 !!) Thanks for the log and...

When I had the C20, I was thinking of putting some kind of prop guard on the outboard. I used to like to have the rudder up for quicker maneuverability while docking (paddle effect-admittedly not a good idea due to the stress on an already weak rudder system). At the time, prop guards were too expen...

Make sure all your stays and lines are clear. Tape or tie down your main and jib halyard shackles to your mast too before they fly to the top and out of reach as you're raising the mast. I had to raise mine three times before I figured it out on my first C-20 setup.:shock: A three hour record (incl ...

I'm a northerner ... and a sailing nut: Last years season started amazingly on Mar 19th. A beautiful eighty four degree day. Thinking back, I had to get rid of a groundhog about six weeks prior that had been digging around my house. Hmmmm, I'm not normally a superstitious kind of guy. I don't hate g...

If your needs are a for very stable and comfortable all day daysailer, easy to handle w/ super large cockpit big enough for 6 or 7 adults to enjoy, I can't say enough good things about the C20. I loved this boat and hope to find another someday when the time is right. http://www.examiner.com/article...
