I use a propane heater buddy. I uses the 16oz propane cylanders (or can be hooked up to a larger tank) It is safe for use indoors, has an automatic shut off should it tip as well as an oxygen sensor.

Mine has one. Of course just using the stop will work as well.

That would probably be just fine. Fresh water doesn't make quite the mess of a boat bottom as salt does. If you were in salt I'd say get the best you can afford, but with fresh, just get a nice middle of the road bottom paint that doesn't require you to strip your current paint completely. You will ...

A PHRF for a 20' boat is almost the same as a 22'? That says to me the 20' boat is faster foot for foot than the 22. Also, your PHRF numbers sound a lot lower than the ones here in my area. Unless all you want the boat for is racing, I wouldn't worry too much about the PHRF, I'd focus more on if the ...

I would bet that any trailer that fits a Catalina 22 swing keel or even a Wing keel would fit. The keel, when up, sticks about 1.5 feet below the bottom of the boat.

I leave mine down all the way. If you like the way it handles the way you have it, keep it that way. How well does it point at that setting? Nothing wrong with tinkering with it to find where you like it best. On a run, it's definitely faster to have the keel all the way up, if you want to tune it ...

Do you mean a Mac 26 swing keel, or a Mac 26X the power sailor? So far as the Mac 26X unless you would really rather have a powerboat that can sail, I'd go with the Chrysler 26. The Chrysler boats are forgiving, stable boats. I have a Chrysler 22 and it sails GREAT. The Chrysler 26 has more ballast ...

At Boston Harbor Marina, in Olympia Washington, there's a Chrysler 26 that I've seen sitting unused. I try and get some contact information and see if the owner is interested in selling it. It is such a shame to see it sit there untouched for so long. I'd love to have a Chrysler 26. They are a nice ...

Guys, I'm selling my Chrysler 22. My parents are buying a Catalina 25 and putting it in the slip I keep my Chrysler in. (it is their slip) They'd have been willing to get a Chrysler 26, but we wouldn't be able to put a 26 foot boat in that slip (max is 25') So my boat must go, as I have no trailer ...

We've got a Mariner (same as Merc.) 8 hp as well. One thing about it, it hasn't got the power in reverse, at least not with the prop that comes on it. You really have to gun it to slow down when docking.

I had a Suzuki Sail model, which is specially geared as well as has a special prop, just for ...

I've got a C22, but I would think the two would be similar, there's a bunch of info on how to remove the keel at http://www.chryslersailing.lizards.net/

Yeah, try and get pictures of the project in various phases. That will be very interesting for everyone. Keep us posted!

Dang. You are right. Man, how could I be so wrong? I didn't really look at the pictures up close, and from the boat I was on, it looked larger than mine, plus I hadn't seen another C22 with that color scheme but I knew there was a C26 that had the same color scheme at Boston Harbor (about 2 miles ...

Here are some of the many pictures I took this past Labor Day Vacation. We were up in Olympia for about 6 days. The weather was a little cooler than usual for this time of the year, but still a beautiful time. Sailing weather was great, and there were lots of boats out on the water. Also, Labor Day ...

Check out the Chrysler Sailing Association page. Go to the Spec's link and you can find some information about the dagger. There's a link to the CSA on the opening page, but you can also simply click on this link http://www.chryslersailing.lizards.net/

Okie doke. Have a good time then. I've been to Hagg once myself, it does look like a nice lake, and it's decent sized. Hope you have some good wind this weekend.

Well, next time you should DEFINATELY try Detroit. There is almost always wind there. I'm not going up to Olympia this weekend, maybe we could go to Detroit together if you wanted.

So, did you get out and go sailing this past weekend??

I didn't see you at Detroit, but then I wasn't able to check out all the sailboats, as the little run about we were in wasn't liking the big chop in the open water, so we all headed to a calmer area.

Saturday definately would have been a ...

No need to worry about those stumps for the most part. Except the "flats" most of them are under 20+ feet of water this time of year. I was just up there again this weekend, would have been absolutely fabulous sailing, wind was great, which it usually is due to the effect of it being in a canyon ...

Go down to Detroit lake, the temps will be a bit cooler, the winds should be great, and the lake is beautiful. I just went sailing there with a friend of mine a couple weeks ago, I had forgotten how beautiful the lake was for sailing. Usually I just drive on past it on my way to go fly fishing on ...

What a great verse! HA! I love it.

My favorite sailing verses that reference sailing are :

(this one quite loosely references sailing, as it mentions the Spirit of God, which sometimes is referred to as being like the wind, and water, two of the needed elements, the third being a sail boat of ...

Ouch! How'd that happen anyway, was it REALLY REALLY windy? So far as the set up goes, check out the chrysler sailing association page, it's got manual and everything, as well as quite a few pictures. Here's the link

Good luck to you!

Brings to mind a song......

I'm a little acorn brown, laying on the cold cold ground.
Everybody steps on me, that is why I'm cracked you see.
I'm a nutt, I'm a nutt, I'm a N U T T nutt!



Some people just have too much time on their hands

We had a great 4th extended weekend. Put the boat back in the water after taking her out to repaint the bottom with some better bottom paint. The weather was lovely and of course being out on the boat was great.

I have a Chrysler 22, and for a while, I had a problem with my keel not lowering. It turned out there was a lot of stuff in the keel well, mussles and such, and all that garbage was binding the keel. Could be you have something crammed in there.

My tiller mount broke on my Chrysler 22 and I ended up having to get one fabricated at a machine shop. Good luck to you, hopefully you will find something that will work.

I'd like to see how your conversion from swing to fixed keel worked out. Does the boat point better now?

They have some good mutineer info at the Chrysler Sailing Association page. A link to that page can be found on Chryslersailors.com's front page, but you can also just click on this link here http://www.chryslersailing.lizards.net/ They also have links to some other Mutineer sailing groups.

You can get BRAND new OEM sails from http://www.thesailwarehouse.com they have three sails to choose from ranging in price from $425 to $735 The cheap one is the standard main, the second in the price chain is the full batten main and the third is the costal cruising powerhead main with two full ...

I'm interested. I need a trailer for my Chrysler 22, I keep her in Olympia, I live in Salem, right now I have to borrow a trailer. I wouldn't mind having two of these boats, one to keep closer to home for sailing on the Columbia. Of course the only trick would be coming up with the cash right out at ...
