  1. Your leach line may be pulled to tight for the wind condition. otherwise what cdoyle said.
  2. If you are racing, you can not use the roller furling system. If you are just cruising/day sailing you can find extensions for the shorter headstay at any good marine supply store, that sales sailing hardware.
  3. The simple answer is yes, you have to remove the track. It's the only way you can reload the bearing on the traveler. It is a pain in the backside, but not as hard as it looks.
  4. I have an older (1986) J22, it has the two bolt lifting bar. Yes remove the nuts and place the bar on the keel bolts. Just make sure you torque the nuts evenly and to manufacture specs. Bolt Diameter Torque Ft/Lb. 1/2 19 5/8 48 3/4 95 7/8 140 1 165 1 1/8 309 And go back 24 hours later to check torque, that is a standard machine shop practice. Note those are bolt size NOT nut size.
  5. Do what j22forum2 said. If that doesn't work for you, tie your tape measure to your Main Halyard, and run it up the mast as far as you can. This will get you within about two(2) inches of the length you need. There are three very good rigging shops in the Clear Lake TX. area. All three are familiar with J22's and do excellent work. Hayes Rigging 281-474-4505 Bahama Rigging 281-636-7302 Stix n' Rig'n 281-334-7849
  6. I have a set sitting in my garage in La Porte, TX. I offered the set for sale years ago. Found the shipping cost was prohibitive. Also, the life lines height is a major tripping hazard.
  7. You might try Hayes Rigging. He replace my spin pole a few years ago. Phone # 281-474-4505 his web site shows him in Seabrook but he moved to Kemah a few years ago because of road expansion, but phone number is correct.
  8. The four bolt holes is where the water got in to cause the rot. Yes, drop the mast and caulk around and in the bolt holes. 4200 is a good sealer but it is not very flexible, use something like Life Caulk that will flex with the mast/boat. Use it every place a bolt/screw goes through the glass, to keep water from penetrating. AND, about every 3 to 4 years go back and re-bed all bolt/screws. It will save you a lot in future repairs, like you are doing right now. Note,, straight silicone sealer is not a good sealer as it deteriorates in sun light and salt water.
  9. Speed Pucks are legal. To understand what is legal and not, go to Class Rules, C.5 Portable Equipment. Under C.5.2 Optional, explains what limits are on these devices.
  10. grhill5, go for it. Before the drug cartels cause the Galveston to Vera Cruz race to shutdown, there was several 22 ft. boat that entered at versus times. This was a 605 mile race across the Gulf, which is a washing machine on most days. I enter many distance races, and share driving and trimming with my crew. So do this race and have fun.
  11. There is a J22 in Seabrook Marina, in Seabrook TX. with a for sale sign taped to the bow. It showed up at the beginning of summer. It is hull# 391, the sign reads; 1984 Rebuilt Trailer New Rigging 281-381-2521
  12. Concerning item 1, I don't think that should be a problem as long as it is kept dry. If you buy the boat pull it out and properly seal and mount it. Also the photo shows the bolts and nuts are black, which indicates the wrong type metal for the environment. You should use 304 SS bolts, nuts, & washers, you can use 316 SS but it tends to gull easier, and properly bed them when you replace them. 2. Class rules don't allow a roller furler, so just bite the bullet on that, and get a proper head stay, that you can adjust. 3. If you see surface rust on your keel bolts, they may have miss-matched nuts on the bolts. My 1985 J22 has 304SS keel bolts and that is what the nuts and washers should be. OR, what you are seeing may be salt water stains.
  13. I have an old 3.5 Nissan that does a great job the few time a year I need it (I take it home once a year and change the water pump and check gas lines). You may look into the electric outboards. I crewed on a 22 with one, good speed and power. It's total weighed was about that of my Nissan, with the battery being most of the weigh. Only draw back I could see is the run time depending on how fast you want to go.
  14. International J/22 Class Rules, effective March 1, 2021.Rule G.3.3(d). The foot of the mainsail may be loose or have a boltrope. Thanks Christopher Howell for getting out the updated rules.
