Last summer was the first. Thanks for all the advice I saw on this site. Now we're fine tuning our 82 C-22. Another words putting on new bottom paint re doing the teak wood. Patching up the dings etc that I found. Fixed the spreader brackets. Getting the ship in tip top shape for the season. One final thing is replacing the ropes for the main sail and jib. I bought the rope and whipping now is the question ( which my "expert" was not sure if to knot the rope or splice the rope to raise the sails. I would appreciate any advice which will save bucks in taking it back to the dealer and letting them do it. Thanks again for all the expert advice.
