Well we launched the "new" C22 today. We are thinking of naming her "Downsized" (seeing as we had reverse 3-footitis).
What do y'all think?

There are a number of C-22s in my harbor and their sailors always look like they're having a great time. While I know the 25 is a little longer and beamier, for a daysailor the C-22 is an unbeatable boat. And if you can trailer it a little more easily, all the better! Best of luck and enjoy yourself!

Thanks Bruce. I may be sailing a 22 but I'll still be lurking here! I have too many friends on the forum to just quit...

Up size or down size as long as your sailing. Honestly the 22 is looking like a potential boat for me in the future if my marina fees keep going up. Retirement on the horizion, Single axle trailer means I could cut the expenses down by keeping it at home for the winter and being able to do maintenance in the driveway is a cost saving plus. Like the name, I might have to steal it. Good luck with her.

Yeah, I'm in the same boat with retirement and slip fees. Thinking of going even smaller and getting a Flying Scott or a Hobie 18/20.

Frank, the Admiral was happy with a C22 for 17 years until we sank her. So I think we're back in the happiness zone.

Derek,

Are you going to trailer sail her or put her on the hoist?

Gary, the marina has completely rebuilt the bunks on the hoist and protected top and the inside edge with vinyl. I don't anticipate any further problems with it.

Please don't go anywhere. I want to hear all about the mods, the updates and your adventures. You're right you've got a lot of friends here.
I often check the Mainsheet articles for ideas from the 22s, the 27s and the others. Just because the boat's are slightly different doesn't mean we can't still share improvements.

Got your Mylar genny and high-aspect main ordered? I've always liked that Mk II version--a nice improvement over the one we were thinking about buying (new) back in......... uhhhhh... 1971?? (But $5500, including the trailer, I think, was too much for us! And there wasn't much of a used market at that point.)

Which keel?

It's a swing keel which, in view of the last 22, will remain locked down!

Derek what's the story on the old one? In my younger days I would not just single-hand our C22 but trailer it, raise the mast, launch, sail and lower the mast by myself. Different lower back and energy level back then.

Steve, we were racing in 20-25k winds, poled out downwind and got hit by a 35k gust with a wind shift. We broached, the keel was down but not locked and it collapsed, the boat capsized and sank.
That's why our C25 was called "This Side Up"

That's pretty good, glad you lived to tell the tale! I bet that was a scary/sick feeling to watch her go down,though.

The hardest part was looking at an empty slip for 2 months!

Where on the lake did it happen? Did you recover the boat?
