    C-22 "New Design"
    Hi Don, Any chance that this 1988 C22 II is hull #14377? If so, I owned her here in CA for many years while working for Frank Butler at Catalina...

    Neat boat, this looks like one of the original Willard built Lancer 30s. You can tell from the swept back keel that is similar to the C&C Mk I...

4. Here is the lock bolt from the inside of the settee stowage. Mine was rusted, bent, and losged into the fiberglass. I spent 3 hours with a hammer and a chisel dislodging it (the rust was like a glue to the fiberglass). Then once it was loose it was still too bent to slide out, so I had to snap it with some bolt cutters.

3. The stowage under the seat cushion is where the other side of the bolt comes through. You literally have to stick your head in there to see it.

1. The keel lock bolt is located here (if you can find my hand within the mess). You have to remove a plastic plug.

Tough to find your way in the dark on the water. Found out that the Rhode River is not deep from shore to shore. No one got hurt and the boat's still floating and usable. Had a good time!

Here's the bridge. Swung about on the north side and headed south. Perhaps it was a bridge too far. Got late.

May 17, 2008... Introduction: After scampering for a week to get Empty Pocket in shape for an abbreviated cruise, we broke our ties to Terra-Firma and pointed south toward our favorite destination, the Dry Tortugas! We hadn't been there since 2004 when we circumnavigated the state of Florida! Our intended course cuts across the state in the ditch (the Okeechobee Waterway) for a meet-up with Mike & Kelli Smith on their Hunter 26 in Ft. Myers... then, with them in tandem, set sail for the Tortugas! With great anticipation and the ecstasy of escape, we cast off our cares and pointed Empty Pocket toward "freedom". In actuality, this trip almost didn't happen. With me buried at Solar Stik and Steph changing careers, I literally worked 18 hours a day for a week to overcome a year of inactivity on E.P. Before departure, I was up for 36 hours straight to ensure that we broke the bonds of the dock on time... As I motored us out of the marina and into the "ditch", I thought to myself, "thank God for Red Bull"!

Disaster! The epoxy bled through the paint on the bulkheads. The paint is so soft it can be scraped with fingernails. the yellow blush is "Amine blush". I should have cleaned the cured epoxly with a sponge and water before applying the pant. NOw I have to make and finish the bulkheads all over again......

The lifting assembly in its stowed state. The rig is made from an RV awning support assembly. It telescopes and folds into a compact package.
