Man O War is back!
Way back in 2013 or so, I shared info about my newly acquired Man O War. However, since then, my son was born, and other things in life happened. In fact, I haven't even been out in the MOW! I had friends who sailed her, but for me personally, never sailed her! Disgusting, I know. Well, for now, I a...

Man O War - First Sail!
As I mentioned in my post "New Man O War Owner" or something like that, I do my sailing on a small inland lake known as Clark Lake in Door County WI. Last year I saw my first Chrysler sailboat - the Man O War - on that lake while I was sailing my Sunfish. Since then, I have wanted my own M...

Yep, 33' seems just right. I took the line that came with the boat and rigged the boat. With the sail fully extended, I had about 2.5 feet left to hold onto. So I went to the local West Marine to purchase new line. He had about 38' left on the roll and sold it to me for the price of 33'. Now I have ...

Tiller extension broken - recommendations? Pic?
New Man O War owner here. The MOW that I just got has a tiller extension that is broken where it connects through the tiller. I know there are many sources out there to buy a replacement but I need to do some research. Can anybody recommend a replacement? A particular company or product? Maybe even ...

Just made plans to take her out for the first time this coming Sunday - July 20 2014. I better get the camera ready. For now I will use the mainsheet that came with her but I will be replacing the sheet with new. I have not found any info about how long the mainsheet should be on a MOW. The sheet th...

I was actually teaching my friend to sail on my sunfish when we spotted the Man O War on the same lake. So he knows all about my itch to have my own and he is really pressuring me to get it out on the water ASAP. I have already printed out a copy of the owners manual for reference but alas, I have n...

Thanks for that sail cleaning idea, I will do that. No idea when it will get to open water - hoping for next week. http://i284.photobucket.com/albums/ll25/sblg43/Small%20Sailboats/Chrysler%20Man%20O%20War/DSC05957.jpg http://i284.photobucket.com/albums/ll25/sblg43/Small%20Sailboats/Chrysler%20Man%20...

New owner of a Man O War
Last summer I was doing a lot of sailing on a small lake in Door County, WI. I was sailing my 1964 Sunfish, that I had refurbished. More than once, I saw another boat out on the lake that looked very sleek and sharp! I got close enough to call out to the other sailor and ask what he was sailing - he...
