Hi. I have a 1983 22 that needs some work and I am getting ready to get to it. Already have a motorcycle jack and didn’t think of using it till I saw your video. Thank you.

Your welcome

Man glad your hand is okay! You probably just saved me from doing the same thing 😂

[@SailingtheWestWind]

Be safe, go slow.

Good job...

Thanks

Your video helped me a lot. Just bought a secondhand yacht and after seeing the mechanism I now understand how everything works. Thankyou very much.
Mine has a similar problem-the pin has too much clearance due to both wear and rust on the swinging keel segment.

[@SailingtheWestWind]

I’m glad I could help. Don’t be afraid, just ask lots of people lots questions. You got this.

[@peterandkodiak9762]

Excellent content. Thank you A+

Hi great video, I'm planning on doing the same on my Jaguar 22 which is the uk version of the cat22. So your informative video very helpful Thank you

[@SailingtheWestWind]

Thank you for taking the time to come in. I appreciate it. I’m glad I could help. That’s one of the reason I make these videos.

[@dennismiller2536]

Need to do this to a venture

[@Simonious1]

I've got a rough Hughes 22 I've never had in the water, I'm slowly going through it and I'm concerned that the swing keel may need some love. We'll find out.

[@SailingtheWestWind]

Go slow. Be safe. Maybe have a friend to help you. Good luck.

[@Mike-tc8ob]

Fond memories of dropping out the keel on my SC 22. just kidding, it sucked but once it's done your one big job closer to sailing and you'll probably never have to do it again.

[@SailingtheWestWind]

So glad to be done. It works great. Thank you for the comment.

[@joea537]

Hi, thanks for the video. I just purchased a Catalina 25 and I love the first hand experience that your videos portray. By the way, how big are those jack stands that you bought from West Marine?

[@SailingtheWestWind]

@@flaviotello they are the shortest ones you can buy. Maybe 36 inches or something like that

[@benkanobe7500]

Hi. I just purchased the same boat and don't have a clue!

[@SailingtheWestWind]

Hopefully this video will help

[@benkanobe7500]

Where do I purchase those blue jacks?

[@SailingtheWestWind]

West Marine

[@amaturemusicians]

Oh man! How is your hand?? Looked so bad it made me jerk my hand! Anything broken? I’d be amazed if there weren’t any!

[@SailingtheWestWind]

Thanks. It hurt for a week. All good now.

[@davidellis4534]
