Well, she's on the block :cry: Asking price is $1700 and I kinda hope nobody calls. If so, I would consider that karma. I've only had her out once this entire summer due to my slow pace of repairing her but have been getting my sailing fix on the DS2 (not the same. :cry: ) The pros and cons list fo...

I love that boat! I can just picture one of those in my driveway. Of course, my driveway would not be the same driveway I have now. It would be a different drive way. Different from the one that would go to my old house which now belongs to the ex!. LMAO, Better to ogle from afar for now.

Wow!.. a whole week aboard your sail boat with your babe. Talk about having your cake and eating it too! Wonderful! I managed to squeeze in an afternoon on Hubbard Lake during a 4th of July work/play week (just the wife and I :) ) painting and putting up stair rails for the inlaws. Unfortunately the...

Thanks All! ... and JM, I sprayed two coats of Krylon Almond -Dual satin paint/primer along the entire keel. Not a perfect match up close, but it's a keel. I figure that function is the primary importance of the bottom side of anything over forty years old! :lol: There was some minor chipping along ...

The view is beautiful but you couldn't pay me enough to go up in there one of those little swings!

I'll be at Hubbard Lake! :D Going up on Tuesday for a work/pleasure long weekend. If I have my way, we'll be at the dock watching fireworks around the lake on the 20 with a couple friends. Just got done painting the interior hull wall almond and looking for a nice piece of plush carpet for the v-ber...

I'd love to Scott, as soon as I can get up your way.......and your boat is up on jack stands of course! The neighbors must have been howling as the watched me squeeze my can between the trailer rail and the hull to get to the forward keel area. It wasn't pretty I'm sure! I swear that trailer was get...

Terrence, I do 99.9% of my sailing at Stony Creek Metropark here in MI. 498 acres (smaller when you avoid the Milfoil beds), and have a great time. You may love pond sailing too! Total low stress sailing. You can leave the GPS at home and the launch is always in close reach for the return trip :lol:...

I've read about and seen pictures of the famed Texas 200. Finally, the 2012 T200 vids and pics are starting to surface. Now this looks like my kind of sailing adventure and from what I've seen, they need Chryslersailor representation. I can close my eyes and visualize me flying down the Texas coast ...

Nothing but the painting to do now. Believe me, squeezing my 250 LB. carcass under that trailer in 90 degree heat for four days to to an upside down epoxy keel repair sucked all the joy out of sailboat ownership (temporarily, of course :lol: ) As I prep for painting, all I can think about was the ti...

I'm glad she's 'normalized' too. The boat is just too darn good looking to be sporting a blue tarp lanteen forever, no matter how practical. Now she's a classic again. My bother has an MOW hanging around his barn. I'm dying to give it a try!

First time on a race committee. Very interestng! I'm glad the the CreekFleet is a laid back group. The finish times were somewhat questionable, I'm blaming on the start/finish buoys being in line with the setting sun :lol: and other general organizational issues (me). It was a beautiful day, lots of...

Sounds like a wonderful shakedown Bob! Sun,wind, waves, good motor, celebratory sailing beer...... and a safe return Docking hmmm..., I'm 80% OK on the C-20 myself. Only one really bad one and I'm FINALLY finishing up the keel repair on that! Fairing it out today and painting tomorrow and sailin' on...

Very nice vid Kevin. I can't believe those were taken on a phone! Great color quality. Nice music too.

Now seriously folks, that boat appears to be flippin' beautiful & OEM inside 'n out. I'd give my eye teeth to be able to afford to buy, maintain and sail something like that. I get in her and it'd be 1977, and I'd be a freshman at CMU again. But this time with Ca_LASSSSSSSzzzzzzzz!!!! : ))))))))...

I wonder what it would be like to have a Chrysler boat that did not need restoring! Personally, for me, it would not be good. There are soooo many things one can do to even a pristine boat to pimp it out. When grocery shopping with the wif at Wallysmart, I'm the kind of guy that strays to the auto ...

Yep, seems I've seen this one before on CL or something $$$$. Nice, but please, please, please...if I ever mention putting artificial dekking on the side rail of my boat, please (again), someone come to Ray Twp. and slap me! Thank you...LOL

Hmmm... more time/steps to remember , interesting though. What will they come up with next? Went on the site to find out how much just for laughs, no price listed, but I'd bet it's a wee bit more than your avg 220lb rated trailer, esp to have it brought to the US from AU LOL!

I t'ink we should have a national Chrysler Sailer flotilla
....on da Detroit River
.... an.. an...... and we can invite princess Kate...
(...ca.. ca ..'cause she's pretty,.... da rest can stay home)
..an..an....and I wanna drive da bell barge...
an.. an I wanna ring da bells too!

Absolutely! No hurry with these Chrysler's in tow! I wouldn't even want to imagine one of our little babies sailing down the highway on their own :shock: My first trip home cost a brick mailbox and a car bumper in a backup operation. Big side mirrors and slow, calculated maneuvers now. I'm in no hur...

Yes, yes and from me too. Remembering my dad also, and all those who helped change the world we live in, all those (and you) sung and unsung heroes. Thank you!

Yes.... uh ... and don't forget 'jealous if left unattended'

I like it! I'm gonna keep this one to myself though, the wif already thinks I'm a bit consumed with sailing and showing her this would only prove her point!

Glad your first sail went 'fairly' well Bob. Roller furling?... you can look forward to using that on the next sail now : ) At least you were smart enough not to take on passengers. Sunday was the first cruise in the C20. I had five others along, grinding their teeth at me to move faster while at th...

Hi Cactupuss, The dark spots should come out between cleaning and rubbing out. also, pls excuse my memory lapse here. Liquid Glass is a hard polish that requires prep . Now i remember that I did use a Walmart liquid paint prep after an initial washing to remove all the wax on the yellow Widgeon, and...

Best wishes for you Larry. I've enjoyed reading your posts and being able to witness some of the good stewardship you've given the Sally Anne. Guys like you will always be Chryslersailors, with or without their boats!

Yep! Good move that, Brian! Never want to repeat it again. I want to take the C20 up to Hubbard Lake for Memorial Day weekend this year if I can get a full day's sailing in and the weather is fully accommodating (sunny, 72 deg and 11 mph winds out of the east predicted for Sunday. PERFECT! - so far)...

LOL, Oh yes, now I see, pls excuse my enthusiasm and pitch for Liquid Glass

Have to admit I had to google what SWMBO meant... Billy, I had to look that one up too... and I'm glad I did :D Chuck, Glad all went well. My first sail in the 20 was Sunday. Aside from having sweep out a lot of raccoon poop from winter storage and bringing the mast down again and to re-hookup the ...
