Sailboat synthesis
Sailboat synthesis
Im looking to get a Chrysler 22 that is just a hull and a mast. No rigging, lines, sails etc. Also, for less than what it would cost me to buy what I need for the 22 I can buy a buccaneer 245 that has a terrible hull but good mast sails rigging lines hardware, everything the 22 needs. So im thinking about combining the two boats. Taking the mast and pressumably base plate from the 25 and putting it on the 22. Outside of the work it would take do you think this would work. I'm trained in composite lay ups so I'm not worried about that part of it it is mostly the physics behind a bigger mast/sails etc. let me know what you think!!
Unless it's just something you truly want to do I would pass and like Bob said shop for something not needing so much work. You will get the kids out on the water faster and in the long run may even save a few dollars. If only I had understood this concept myself back in the day.

The Mac 22 is a good choice. I have 2. They're easy to set up and a lot of parts are available from Bluewater Yachts. There is also a very active forum at askamcgregerowner.com . They also cleanup nicely. The only funkey thing inside is that sculpted carpet on the cabin overhead. We sailed with that for several years then replaced it.
If you have any other questions, PM me.

A family boat, day sailor. Yuo that would be your C22. Do not mix your two boats together I don't think that would make you very happy.
Buy The C22 Cheap and build it back up the way you want it.
Thanks

Good question.
I consider my C22 good for say 5 to 7 day long trip for 2 maybe 3 adults on board. Stopping from time to time to dump the head, get a shower. You know sailing from sight to sight, dropping anchor at night. Getting a shower at a marina and emptying the head some what regularly.
Now lets say 2 adults 2 kidlets plus, "Go directly to the 30 footer, do not pass go, do not collect $200." (Monopoly reference) Yea, you will want a real head, Enclosed and not the fabulous sani-can-porta-potty-deluxe of the blue water fame I have on my C22. No that 5 to 7 day trip would never be repeated by the family.
Thanks
