For those of
you with swing keel pin problems, Mike Warchol was kind enough to scan in a
drawing of the swing keel pin from his copy of the Chrysler Owner's Manual.

For those of
you with rudder problems, Raleigh Martin was kind enough to create a
drawing of the rudder, rudder assembly, and rudder post. Click on the link

GENERAL: Chrysler's outstanding new 22' trailerable family sailer, sets a
new standard for versatility and performance in small cruiser-racers: She
sails with amazing stability--a result of her wide 7'9" beam, 3000-lb.
displacement and 725-lb. swing keel (Also available with a fixed keel,
1010-lb.). Safety for families and racers include foot-gripping deck surfaces,
self-bailing cockpit, self-righting capability and foam floatation. She's
just right for a family of five, a racing crew of 2-3, or the single-hander.
FOR TRAILERING the easily raised swing keel and thru-hull pivot-up rudder
keep center of gravity low, provide convenience for loading and launching.
The hinged mast step and mast carrier make rigging simple. Her custom trailer
saves dockage/storage fees (she'll berth in your backyard), and makes sailing
fun mobile. Use it as an on-land camper on your way to and from waterways.
FOR CRUISING there's plenty of extra room and comfort. The whole family
can rest easy on five 6'3" full-length cushioned berths. Cabin is light and
airy with windows, translucent sliding companionway hatch. Double berth
converts to a dinette (also great for charting, youngsters' games). Optional
slide-away galley is positioned near companionway to give standing headroom
and plenty of cabin ventilation with hatch open. Optional portable cooler
forms step into cabin.
There's storage galore--even special space for an auxiliary outboard tank.
The boat interior has full-length fiberglass liners to make maintenance
easy. There are optional portable or permanent toilets with window and
privacy curtains; lights, and an optional self-tacking boom kit to fit
working jib.
FOR RAClNG she has a variable-position keel with easy-control winch to
let you fine-tune performance; a clean-sweep deck for minimal wind
resistance; full-length aluminum toe rails that eliminate need for genoa
track because blocks may be positioned anywhere and changed easily underway;
and a thru-hull pIvot-up rudder that's controlled from the tiller.
