Gentlemen, Thank You for all of the wonderful knowledge! I dropped my keel this winter & have needle gunned the heck out of it. I believe I am the first owner to do this service to this boat. Anyways, I have the corrosion removed & will repair the areas that need repair. I had the boat out o...

I know the feeling! Could be spending on something worse though

I'm currently re-wiring my C22 completely & appreciate all of the info here. Feeling blessed to part of this great community!

Thank You for your time & energy. Also, for the picture

That's all, just "Thank You"

How bad were your plates? Need replacing? Also, you make getting the keel down look easy on your blog lol. How did you keep it from tipping one way or another while you lowered the jack? If you are replacing the keep plates, are you having them made? Making them? Where would I source such things? T...

Welcome Roy! Here's links to some picts of the keel pin and plunger. I believe that's what your referring to also. http://www.kodakgallery.com/imaging-site/services/doc/5330:158058365506/jpeg/BG http://www.kodakgallery.com/imaging-site/services/doc/5434:835458365506/jpeg/BG http://www.kodakgallery....

Well, with great guidance & help, I've gone as far as grinding off the port side cap, drilling a hole in the starboard side of the assembly, and tapping(pounding) the pin out. It's now time for needle gunning. In looking at your pictures again, I almost thought they were my own. Turns out that t...

[quote="double "D""]It was very difficult to trouble shoot the exact source of the leak from inside the boat due to the five pounds of window strip caulking which were part of a previous owners failed attempt to plug the leak.[/quote]


I CAN RELATE

Hi Tim! Seems your path leads you to a place similar to mine. I am in the process of removing my keel to replace the keel pin. The Coreth is a 1977 C22 & I believe that she is still on her original pin. I am obviously going to need to replace the entire assembly. Stay tuned. Have you done anythi...

Hey Sailors! I think I found a great thread for all the info I'll need. I too intend to drop my keel and do some needed repair on the Coreth. I'm guessing that the keel pin bracket is the original(1977) & seems very corroded. I was getting a steady drip from it. She's now on stands at my place, ...

I'm less than a year into The Coreth, a 1977 C22. Bought it already slipped at a quaint little marina here on the Puget Sound this past March. Spent many a hour initially getting her sea-worthy. Then, spent all summer learning how to sail. What a GREAT boat She is & I'm excited for you! Welcome,...

I may be suffering from the same thing. The Coreth is currently slipped at Arabella's Landing in Gig Harbo, WA. The wife and I sailed over here from Olympia to celebrate our anniversary. I've been trying to figure out where I sprang a leak since we got here. I initially thought the keel pin cap was ...

Hi All... I am currently in search of a trailer & a dinghy & a mainsail cover for my 1977 Chrysler C22. Also, the previous owner allowed hardware inside the sailbag to rust and it has left some gross looking stains on my sails. Any tips on how to remove the stains, or at least lighten them, ...

Scott, I'd love the chance at some help from someone that knows the type of boat specifically! You let me know when you have the time. My days off of work, typically are Mon - Wed. I have my running lights working... my radio working... & if I need to anchor at night, I have a lantern that I can...

Today's the day, so I appreciate all of the advice & direction. BTW,... I'm located in Olympia, WA(at the bottom of the Puget Sound:)

Anybody know of any instructional vids or documentation for lowering the mast to my c22?? I need to check lightbulbs & possibly re-run wiring.

Thank You

Corey

The Coreth is slipped at Boston Harbor in Olympia. I would love to coordinate a get together. I am currently working on re-running my electrical wiring. When I bought the boat, the keel was seized, cable broken, rudder assembly corroded, hull in need of sanding and painting, no working lights, stanc...

I have a question about the WA State Boaters Card. I have a port patrol acquaintance that keeps telling me that I have to have this card if I wish to take my boat in the Puget Sound. I have other people that say otherwise & when I look online, it only says for boats with motors over 15hp. Mine i...

Hello Good Sir,
I am in search of a couple of stansions for my '77 C-22. Do you happen to have a couple lying around?

: ) Corey

I didn't see stansions, specifically in your post. Any chance you have any??

GREAT ADVICE! Thank You. I am missing 3, all on starboard side. The furthest one forward on the rear rail(bottom bracket still in place) & then the next two forward of that one. The bracket on the one of those more forward ones is gone & it appears that someone epoxy'd that area, rather shot...

thank you kindly. new here.

Hi All... Just bought a 1977 C-22, about 6 weeks ago. Took it out of the water & did some major work. Now, she's back in the water & I have some smaller jobs to do. I am looking for a couple stanchions for the starboard side. Any ideas??? I have many pictures to share & will. Working on ...
