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.

Glad to hear it Bob! Keep that 20 in good shape! My baby gal is moving out next week to an apartment. One car gone and one to go, then it's showtime. I've been pre-approved for a boat exchange at the correct time : )))) Happy 4th!!!!

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...

....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 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...

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.

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...
