Chrysler Sailors Forum

Thanks again for all the input guys... I get the feeling that the consensus is to just go for it... and I will when I can. Just one more question which one of you can I call on to help pull me out... if by chance I get stuck in the mud. :lol: Terrence Wilmington N.C. Chrysler 26' 1980 Pandora (for n...

I and the first mate have checked out Waccamaw lake, they even have a friendly little sailing club with access to a few mooring sights. To date the largest sailboats on the lake are a few 22 footers. To bring my 26 footer to town would give the locals something to talk about and I can pretend to be ...

Thanks for the vote that it's not a waste of time and effort... the first mate does not trust me in deeper water, being that this is my first sailboat and all.

When my C26 finally gets wet... it will happen one day, I'm thinking about some sailing preliminaries in a small lake close to home. The only problem being the lake in question is only five miles across and seven miles around with a depth of only 8' to 12.' Will trying to sail a 26' sailboat in such...

We are all behind your effort Bill thanks again, what my seem as repetition to some... is an eye opener to others.

Perseverance... is a wonderful thing, may you have many days of fun sailing in your Man-O-War. I've said it before... a Chrysler is a Chrysler no matter how small.

"Went sailing got home."

If by the end of the day you can say that... it's all good, what sailboat were you sailing?

Your right it is truly a real find and a fine price to go along with it. Not saying its not worth it, its just if I had that much money to play with I would go for something a bit bigger... but that just me and my two cents.

Some of you may have seen this C22 before... but for those like me who have not, here is some eye candy. 8) http://www.bing.com/images/search?q=22%27+chrysler+sailboat&view=detail&id=0CD20832CA6ACAD58BB411B7EB1B6B4CBC212BFE&first=31&FORM=IDFRIR Terrence Wilmington N.C. Chrysler C26' ...

Nice to see another of your restoration videos... there is nothing better than seeing things done first hand.

Tom Like your modification, it just so happens my project C26 came with it. I'll need to replace it with a new one in the future.

Yes indeed there were a lot of boats, but I don't think there was a sail on any of them... bummer.

I've always been looking... just not that hard, the Severn 20' was such a sweet deal I had to act on it, sadly not soon enough. Just like the fish in the sea there are an abundance of other sailboats out there, another sweet deal is sure to come along in due time. 8) Terrence Wilmington N.C. Chrysle...

For those of you interested in the Severn 20'... this world truly is first come first served. Even after a number of e-mails and an offer of some hold money until I was able to inspect the sailboat he sold it the day before I was to meet him and check it out. I undrstand it was his boat... but at th...

Sorry I'm a bit late on this one. A point of curiosity... the women among us who sail... I wonder if they perceive their sailboats as male and with pride boast on how well they can control them?

We were driving back in from Tenn. today, it did my heart good to see so many flags displayed in honor of this day.

Nice boat... but I have a feeling that as far as C26's go RED must be the dominant color.

About the (IF) remark... there are sails and it's under the price you stated, but I don't want to build myself up for a fall before a hand on inspection. It is roughly 41 years old. It's like that feeling back in High School when you convince that girl you like to go on a date, but until you pick he...

No that thread was news to me; the Severn 20' in question is stated to be a 1971 model. The Hull ID # looks a bit suspect to me it does not come back to the original builders of the Severn 20, but to a home built status. I doubt this sailboat was offered as a kit back in the day. this Hull ID # may ...

Has anyone ever heard about, seen or sailed a Severn 20' sailboat? Not much can be found on the internet about them. I may have a chance to pick one up in good shape with trailer for what seems a fair price. A little something I can sail on the smaller lakes closer to home while I complete work on m...

Great work on your C22, I'm sure whoever gets it will feel the need to keep it up to your standards, best wishes on your health it may keep you off the water, but hupefully not off the forum.

Nice sailboat... big Chrysler or small Chrysler as long as you are on the water... it's all good.

Captain Scott If you are saving another Chrysler from extension... feel free to have as many sailboats as you want!!! 8) I'm sure that I perhaps fall under those casting doubt on having more than one sailboat at a time. If the truth be known it's not out of feeling it's a bad thing... but more out o...

"When MA MA's happy every one's happy."

So true, my own mother has been gone for a number of years, but the children are in town so the first mate is happy... Hope all the mothers on or off this forum have a happy one.

Just let me know what dates works best for you... I'll do my best to make it. My C26 is still in the back yard so my main interest would be gathering working knowledge on just about everything.

The translucent sections of the hatches were redone with non-skid before it came to me. The non-skid was still good I only cleaned it all up rebeded the hardware primed and painted.

Dan I used Rustoleum on my two hatches, but my C26 is still in the back-yard so I can't say just how it would turn out on the water for a season. http://i857.photobucket.com/albums/ab131/hp18carr/IMAG0184.jpg http://i857.photobucket.com/albums/ab131/hp18carr/IMAG0249.jpg Terrence Wilmington N.C.

Finally another Chrysler with in a reasonable range, like N41EF I really need another boat. I'm a bit curious as to why the boom is not up in any of the photos
