Hi - I'm new to the forum and have questions about the C22 swing keel.
I'm in the market for a trailerable cruising sailboat, and am looking for a well-kept used C22 to purchase.
One thing that's slowing me down on the search is this:
* How much do I need to be concerned about the condition of the swing keel?
* If it needs maintenance, how big of an ordeal is it to replace the pivot pin and/or cable?
Any input & advice would be greatly appreciated!
