That link should get you to the chrysler sailors document page, which includes a manual with rigging instructions for the C22. Congrats on the "new" boat. There is a lot of helpful information on this forum as you get to know your boat.

Re: Mast Step Trouble

+1 on the broken mast foot! Photo attached (I hope). I also looked for a replacement part but had no luck. I was however able to raise the mast using the pin and a wooden gin pole that I shaped the end of to fit around the foot of the mast and with a ratchet strap to hold it tight and in place. Pret...

Re: New owner/Repair Questions

Eric, Welcome aboard and congrats on the new C22! Like you, I am still pretty new to sailing (and sailboat repair), and I have not done either of the repairs that you are facing. Hopefully someone with experience will chime in with some help. I have gotten a lot of useful information from this forum...

Beautiful boat! I like the white deck! Planning to go with that when I get around to repainting mine also.

Re: What are these?

The top one is a pull switch that could have been used to control the lights on the boat.

Mast step measurement

Can someone measure on your C22 and share with me the height from the deck to the top of the mast step? Getting ready to rebuild mine and somehow misplaced the measurement I took before tearing out the old step. Bonehead move I know. Hoping to get the height on the new step close to original so the ...

Re: New Sailor with C22...Need Your Help

Thanks! And yes, there was some foul language used! I was indeed using the factory procedure to step and unstep, and it worked just fine until the hook got in that bind the last couple feet going down. I have already purchased a hinge that will replace the hook as recommended. I do like the idea of ...

So far my sailing experiences have been solo aboard a Capri 14.2, but I am now eager to move up to sailing the C22. I am also new to working on boats, but I hav...
