Welcome back all. We made through the Mayan end of times thing. ...And Bill, if you'd have made the suggestion Thursday, I may have considered your offer, just in case WE ARE able to 'take it with us'. Today I'm back into reality, Christmas bills to pay, etc, so I'll woefully have to decline. If San...

A belated happy birthday to you Cap'n Scott.

and happy belated from me too!

A pretty C22 (pop top would be nice) on a good trailer w a pristine Chysler Sailmaster 10hp eng (remote control) , bimini, and a six pack of Sierra double IPA in the fridge (the boat fridge, that is!)....., oh, and a bigger stocking LOL Just in case Santa is open for suggestion :lol: http://detroit....

It's been a bit since I last checked in, I just wanted to wish all my Chryslersailor buddies a great last day. Live it up! Anyone out there going out (literally) on their boat tomorrow? If I had my choice, I would if I still had my C20 (maybe, supposed to snow). My DS2 has a hole in the hull that ne...

The wif's really smart and I've been hung by my own tongue too many times. I prefer to text than talk. My fingers are real fat so I keep my messages short and don't go back to fix typos. Sent the wife a message: 'I'll be home late. Got to look at a great deal on a toab'. That was the night I dragged...

Sweet 22 Scott! Here' another nice one, a 26! It hasn't broken the $500 mark on EBAY...yet. Are you in for a road trip? The fam would love New England at Christmastime. Looks like there's still some room in the driveway too, LOL http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/1978-Chrysler-26-Used-Sailboat-Rhode-Isl...

Nice, I like it! Esp the one looking out over the water at her, cleanup pail put to the side, lime in the Corona and feet up. Ahhhhhhhhhh, just like I'm right there baby!!!!!!! A wonderful parting thought before I go up to north tomorrow to sit on a log to look for deer (and freeze my arse off!) for...

I like to watch 'em, but to sail 'em? ...... There's no room for a radio to play Jimmy Buffet tunes or even a place to put a cooler! Heck, they even look cold. I would consider trying one that was enclosed and had a heater though.

Thanks Bob. The price is right! Looks interesting from the pics. A good clean up, maybe a new rudder. Quite an interesting repair job on that from the pic, looks like he sandwiched an old one between two pieces of sheet metal, LOL. Oh... and would need to find a new place of residence, judging from ...

Looks like a helluva nice ride! Even if it has spiders all over it .....donlikespiders

The rescue search is still ongoing for the captain, and unfortunately, the woman who was washed into the sea as she was trying to leave the ship, did not make it. Claudene Christian, an Ohio native, former OSU cheerleader,musician, business woman, sounded like a person who lived life to its fullest....

The dock my boat was tied up to on Thursday is gone. Half the marina has been destroyed, looks as though six boats sunk and more on there way, and the high winds are supposed to continue through the evening. My boat is still standing but moving, if it slips off the forward shoring, she'll be on the...

Many questions will be asked, and answers will be given, but here's a great blog post about it from my favorite lady sailor. I thought it deserved a separate post.

It's times like these that it's convenient to be a trailer sailer. Yikes! Hope all have successfully headed for high ground!

http://www.westsystem.com/ss/storage-shelf-life I know it's expensive stuff, but I always stick (literally) with West System and have had great luck with it. I use epoxy exclusively for below the waterline repairs. Before selling my Widgeon, I had another small repair to make on the bottom. I used s...

Hola y Bienvenidos Sr. El Pescado! For the Cabin/keel area, I would tip the boat forward and use a wet vac, hitting the keel area, side stowage area and the anchor bunker. Of course, a bilge pump would have been much easier, but I never got around to getting one :oops: I finally figured out a myster...

Happy sailing! It doesn't take much time for these ol' Chryslers to get into your blood (& vice versa sometimes, w/ sweat & tears incl for good measure). You won't find a happier group of owners (& former owners)

Nice boat dubbinchris. DiverDarren put a lot work in her and she looks pretty good from here. How'd the mast/cabin roof hold up on the ride back? I always used the bow pulpit and the stern rail for support.

Welcome back, and thanks for your service Gus! Nice boat, a little TLC is all she needs. Of course a CD 25 is a very nice boat too!

Dang, I totally forgot that you had expressed some interest in a C-20 last year or I would have shot you a note. Unfortunately she was sold earlier this month. It was truly a great boat. The only issue 'I' had with her was that the trailer did not have much time left on it in my op. One side had alr...

Bob, When I was over to visit, the wif caught me eyeballing your Mac! Very nice boat ... and price too. Unfortunately(or fortunately?) the C-22 deal didn't go through. I was fishing for a swap plus cash bid involving the DS2, with the rationale that there would still be only one boat at the house. A...

Put a swap/bid in on the C22. :shock: The wif is gonna kill me if it goes thru, but it couldn't be helped. Mast step is there, but mast was rewired and he hadn't gotten around to reinstalling. Heck, he's got an orig trailer in great shape too! Wish me luck!!!! Another guy with a big boat and a littl...

and as the boat accelerated it pitch-poled

Dang, that must have been one helluva ride on a 72' cat. luckily no one was injured... or killed! I think I'll stick with mono hulls!

I was snoring too loud, the wif booted me to the couch, the IPAD was right there, so I turned it on and .......... http://detroit.craigslist.org/wyn/boa/3338701841.html It's dat 'ol devil, trying to trip me up again!!! He put this one right in my back yard. I should be looking at nasty pictures, lik...

I could live with/on that! It'd be a bit sketchy with her following behind me on I75

Hmmmm. I do have that open space in my driveway now :lol: All I'd need is a 1975 Dodge B-van shaggin' wagon to pull her with. BTW: Bob Hope was once entertained on the Bessie May! http://www.flickr.com/photos/hilllisa23/7696066744/in/photostream/lightbox/ LOL, from what I've read about here. It seem...

You're right! I (my better half that is) must allow a proper period of morning to pass before I drag some something else home (unless its a near giveaway, that can't be helped!). My saving grace is that MY hobby has been a moneymaker (albeit small) so far, and I have to present, disproved the hole i...
