I rarely use the electrical system on my 1987 C-22. Outboard engine is pull start. All my running lights and cabin lights are LEDs. Each light draws about 1/10 of an amp when in use. We hardly run at night anyhow........If I do, it's for an hour or two on our local lake. If we are cruising...

Been out cruising a bunch this summer when the wind was 1-2 knots. Excruciatingly slow even with a Genoa. I wouldn't mind getting a gennaker or drifter, but not sure about a few things. Could use some help deciding. My C22 is a 1987 model. Hank on jib. 1. Drifter or Gennaker? Will typically...

My boat is a 1987. Always sailed in fresh water. Almost always spends the night(s) on a trailer. During it's lifetime, it has probably only had 6-8 weeks of sitting in the water (overnight) while cruising lakes in the midwest. Otherwise it comes out on the trailer and gets parked till the...

Gonna go ahead and refinish my brightwork this winter. For whatever reason, going to give Cetol a try. I'm not trying to start a discussion about pros or cons, but I see that there are a couple of types of Cetol finish. Which should I use? My boat stays inside during the winter, outside...

Going to flotilla sail the BVIs in April-May of 2019. Wife and I are midwest (US) sailors who own a C-22 and have sailed larger boats as well. Probably going to do a Sunsail 7-day flotilla sail. We like to do more than sail....we travel, visit new places, explore, etc.... Since we are going...

I have a 1986 C-22 that is now rigged to take lines back to the cockpit. I have the main sail halyard, main sail downhaul, jib halyard, jib downhaul, and jiffy reefing lines all run to the cockpit (jib downhaul on a cleat on the port stanchion). I installed larger deck organizers, and installed...

I'd love to find a way to mount my engine to the trailer while traveling. I have seen the "motor mount" solutions up by the winch. For various reasons that won't work on my boat/trailer combination. Does anyone see any downsides to laying down the engine horizontally near the hitch end of the...

I have a 1987 C-22 with a standard compass mounted on the port side cockpit-cabin bulkhead. I would like to run about 1-2 amps of 12 volt power from the electrical panel (starboard cabin) to the port-side cockpit, about half way back to the stern (near the coaming port). I plan to run the...

I have a (new to me) 1987 C-22. The previous owner indicated the various mast lights no longer worked. The deck connector from the mast was no longer there so I was unable to check. After the season ended, when I took down the mast, I jumped power to each wire going up the mast, and the...

2017-01-23_11-51-46 by Lafayette Mike posted Jan 23, 2017 at 11:58 AMI have heard there is a conduit in the mast for wiring, but not sure quite where. I have posted a picture of my mast, taken from the bottom. I've highlighted what I think is the conduit. Is it? And how would an antenna lead...

Just bought a 1986 C22 and have had it in the water a couple of times already. Put it away for the winter on Saturday. :-( I have an old, metal mast crutch that I am going to modify this winter and could use some suggestions as to it's height when fully extended. My existing steel crutch is...

I'm a newbie C-22 owner (1986 model, sail #14081) but I've owned a lot of dinghies and RV's before so I am pretty good technically with modifications. We are going to use our "new" C-22 for some leisurely inland lake cruising as well as some limited near-shoreline excursions on the Great Lakes...
