Going sailing with a bit of expertise sounds like a good idea. Especially if you can get a few rides on a Catalina 22 and then make a base line...
Tops, Have you tried to sail the boat as it is? I would be curious to know if the boat has helm or Lee tendencies that a Catalina 22 doesn’t have? Pig
Well everyone; it’s been one of “those” years. I have finally found some time to daydream and look at this boat again. I found several articles...
Thanks! I’ll look up that 63006. Also, there seams to be added layers of fiberglass bringing in the slot to 5/8. I think a heat gun and some tools...
Wet Feet, Sorry about that. The current board is solid wood and it would have been better if they just made a straight leading and trailing edge...
A new board is on the list for sure. If I need to move the trunk I would like to make a 18 inch wide center board. That will keep the draft a foot...
Well, Forecast this morning was 5 knots, I think I powered out in 8 to 10 Kts. I had the main reefed (no jib). The boat would NOT stay in irons...
Well, I had hoped the wind would be less than this! Here is the traveler setup. Red and orange are test equipment colors. As soon as the wind...
The cheek blocks are ready. [ATTACH] [ATTACH] that little sliver is what’s left of the original 1/4 round and the reason I made new ones....
George, I do believe you posted this topic in here somewhere else. Everything you described is what brought me into this forum and set the...
Worth it? Isn’t that always the question when it comes to old boats? If moving everything back 24 inches fixes the handling problems, then I get...
I knew I was taking on a mystery. But I also appreciate the wood and overall design so I’m invested until the end. nightmare: well, let’s just...
All, There are definitely modifications going on with this boat. Honestly, the overall lines attracted me to the boat and I purchased it knowing...
All, A quick update... I fell down the eBay rabbit hole and found some brass cheek blocks to trim the traveler. They will look nice, but the...
Eric, Good question; and all part of the mystery. I’m guessing it’s a new mast. The old wood looks like part of a center board trunk? That’s why...
I read all your posts again and I did another survey. I wanted to see how close raking the mast could bring the sail plan to the CLR. Here is what...
Sharpii2, With both your ideas and philSweet’s I have put together a pretty good size punch list to test on the water. I started with raking the...
philSweet Do you think a straight board made of spruce strips will stand up to the stress? The current board is only 5/8 thick(so Home Depot off...
A bigger board is definitely needed. In order to do that I need to build a new trunk and this would be the time to move the trunk back. Here are...
It does all right with the main. I sailed a day like that after I changed the way the main sheet runs. As I recall, the rudder inputs were more...
