Anderson 22 up for grabs.

 

[newtothis]

Anderson 22s are not "up for grabs". You're invited to prove your worthiness as a temporary caretaker.

Dont think I could live up to one

You’re a real dufour

Few of us mere mortals can tolerate such performance and are wise to acknowledge our limitations before following Icharus' path

Be sure to wear appropriate clothing.

And Seajet, if you are still around, thanks for your great contributions that has put the Anderson 22 into forum folklore!

Isn’t that lower pipe what diesel drivers use to prevent premature stops on longer journeys?

Not seen in these parts since 2020. Anderson 22 ownership is usually the last step before an sailor Sublimes.

Oh dear….I don’t think you got it…it was a compliment

You gotta love a pocket rocket ship.

That will float on a heavy dew

Affordable sailing and with a trailer!

If this doesn’t find a new enthusiast/ custodian then it certainly says something about boat ownership today. ( Not sure what it says, different things to all)

I’ve sailed the Cape Dory17ft Typhoon, a Hunter , Corribees, a liberty 22, a Sadler 25and a few older small wooden starter boats but never the legendary model A22 ! Yet…

Various car manufacturers have tried that line over the years.

Which is better, ancient grasshopper?

A Dufour afloat in the waters of life.

Or a A22 wheeled on its trailer under a shady oak tree, with the bow aligned to the morning sun ‘ just so’ with the kettle plugged in and but a few steps from favourite sofa bed.

Ah so. There are many paths to happiness..
Man must make his own path

What are you taking

A long hard look at todays weather!
Yesterday was the perfect sailing day even here in Blighty
Today? Plug in that kettle and fettle.

Only the most hardcore long distance HGV driver would consider that hose as a catheter
