I do, If its the same boat Im thinking of, Its been listed before and he was registered with the other website.

Detailed process info can be found here: http://www.clearintent.net/C22

i havent looked at it closley...but from my initial observations while standing on her belly i would say that the pin sheared clean off!!! brakets all seem to be in place. I will post more as i repair it...I have located a replacement keel and plan to get her back in the water shortly. stay tuned.....

Wow, that's one big project!

Photos of the keel braket assembly have been posted here, try a search. Also check out this website for good info on the keel brackets http://www.clearintent.net/C22/

First , thankfully everyone is safe. Have you any idea what failed, the pin or the bracket, have you been able to get in to remove the acess plate? It has always been my biggest fear that the keel would fail underway. We lost the cable once while sitting on the mooring and the keel swinging back pun...

Our original stand was pretty gnarly when we got her. It had been submerged in water for a while. I always thought a length of PVC might work, but never tetsed he theory.

However there is no tongue extension. I was concerned my little Ford Explorer might not get her deep enough at the launch! We had a similar issue. our launch ramp has a very gentle slope and with the Rube Goldberg trailer mods we made she sat high. We used tow straps to drop her deep enough, but it...

Hey, Im not going anywhere. I still own it, its just sitting on the hard!

manhattan sailors..... Frans.... I once saw a guy Hoseing off his 26 foot powerboat that was sittingon a trailer in a parking spot on west 31st street. what was so funny was the hose he was using to hose her off was connected to his apt out a window some 5 stories up and then down to the street! No...

Congrats on your maiden voyage!

Actually we trailered her straight across 42nd Street. In typical NY fashion, no one gave us a second look.

Well we got her home. No real adventures in transit to report except if you count the fact that we drove through Manhattan on the way back because the G. Wwashington Bridge was backed up. We were quite a sight crossing Manhattan to the Midtown Tunnel. On inital inspection she is in very good shape. ...

It looks good,BUT it is not a Chrysler, an you in for a lot of up keep. An you are not going to be a happy sailer, you now have a com-water boat. Get in big water, you will wish you had your 22, look at my C-20 as a day sailer. We've owned a wooden boat before, one that my husband built, so we know...

Fran, looks great in the pic, any idea what she is ? When I picked up my giveaway Rhodes Bantam I was hoping it was wooden, but was a later 'glass model. More pics when you pick her up ? I'll bring the camera. We think its home built. The guy we bought it from used it for lake sailing, from the loo...

She's been out of the water for several years, always a concern with a wooden boat, but we will splash her on Sunday and see if she is water tight. Fran, My husband and I have a large wooden boat, and you will be amazed at the difference in the ride of a wooden boat vs fiberglass. One piece of advi...

As reported, we are not splashing the C-22 this year and are actively trying to find a buyer. In the interim we found a new toy: http://i148.photobucket.com/albums/s15/sailorgirlnyc/th_newboat1.jpg . 17 feet, wooden, trailer included (great now we have three trailers!) we pick her up on Saturday. An...

Our 22 is still for sale, any interest let me know

The trailer is a single axle not big enough for your boat. As for paint we were going to use Interlux brightsides. There is a site called Jamestown Distributors which contains step by step instructions for prep and painting. came to about $200 for the paint and prep supplies. Thanks for the refernce...

We have mixed feelings as well. The marina refunded our mooring fee, so at least we are not out anything. We keep her on a trailer in the driveway so no storage fees. If we did undertake this repiar we talked about really making a true refurb and committing to this boat for the duration. For now we ...

For Chrysler Sailor Forum members, $1500 and I will cook you a meal!!!

1975 C-22 with trailer. Complete, ready to sail after keel bracket repairs.

Will provide deatiled pics, description. email me at sabbatinof@aol.com

What is it they say about boats, holes, money and water... well it came true for us big time today. Our weekend project was to paint the hull above the water line. Did all the research, got good advice here, purchased all the supplies, spent hours cleaning, sanding and prepping. Had some time waitin...

Scott,

Don't be silly! First come, first serve. I wouldn't think of stepping in front of you for them. Im really most interested in the stern rail and goose neck.

Fran

Yup, that's it Matt. thanks for the pcis. As it happens I think we have some pins in the garage that will be perfect I spotted them last week . I see you have it pinned over to one side. is that the positon you normally leave it ion or do you bring both sides to center? The cotter pin is on one side...

Sails of course as well as the goose neck and boom and stern rails

I can be reached at sabbatinoF@aol.com

Welocme aboard. Capt. Scott's step by step instructions with photos are invaluable. Don't worry, just set up the bridles and lines and its not difficult. We installed a hinged mast step which we believe will take alot of the "pucker" factor out of it.

Great Pics, Thanks. last summer we were in San Diego, counting the Midway there were three in Port and it was a site indeed.

Very cool!
