Dulcibella arrived in good shape
by David Fann 15 Mar '03

15 Mar '03

The truck carrying Dulcibella, my shiny new Montgomery 17, reached Gainesville (FL) late this afternoon. Boat and trailer are in excellent condition. We started getting compliments even as the unloading proceeded in a mall parking lot. At home, we found she is just a hair too large for the garage. On to Plan B for storage... Now for some boat rigging. The mast/boom package was nicely bubble wrapped, so tomorrow will be like an early Christmas, with presents to open. Thanks, Montgomery Boats! David Fann M17 Dulcibella

[Montgomery_boats] M_Boats: NW get together
by Harvey Hochstetter 16 Dec '01

16 Dec '01

Gary, Steve & Diana, et al: Or whom ever is compiling a NW Montgomery list of possible participants for a get together. Deena and I would be interested as well. At this point most of the summer is open except for the first part of June, ( we are going to Atlanta for her sons wedding ). My work schedule is, at this point rather inflexible, every other weekend, Wednesday to Wednesday, either on or off. It alternates so that I'm on one week and off the next and maintains that rotation through the year. We are kind of in the middle of the Northwest, so either direction would be fine. Deena likes N Idaho, I like the lakes, we are close to the rivers. There is good sailing on either, given some cooperation from the breezes. Keep us posted, please. Harvey and Deena M-15 #348 "Pelican" Walla Walla, WA

montgomery 15

Greg, I just bought a 93 Montgomery 15 this fall. I live in the Scranton, Pa area and have sailed it on Lake wallenpaupak 4 times. So far I really enjoy it.. It is a more lively sail than my cat rigged Seaward 23. I can rig the boat in 30 to 35 minutes and launch by myself with ease. I have put the boat in a garage for the winter but would be glad to show it if you have never seen one. I suggest you watch the classifieds in the website as that is where I located mine.

Thanks! It's been well worth so far. It's snowing here. Time to pull out the sailing manuels.

I'm sure she'll bring you many happy days of sailing. Randy & Greta Watkins M15#194 College Station, Tx <<< vhimsl(a)turbonet.com 11/17 6:00p >>> Hello to all, Everything went well picking up our new M15, "Duet", at the NorSea boat shop in California. Bob Eeg greeted our grins with equal enthusiasm and then proceeded to help Vince insert the battens, attach the rigging, and hoist the sails, etc. (I stood below with the camera and scribbled step by step instructions on a pad). Believe me, when you've only sailed once, you need all the ABC's you can get. Thanks again Bob, if you read this!! We saw David Fann's M17, "Dulcibella", and from what we could tell, she looked ready--real pretty too. Hope you get her soon. All in all, the transaction went quite smoothly. We did however have trouble with the Subura's (Forester) trailer light hookup--the blinkers and brake lights didn't work. Vince and Bob put their heads together and couldn't figure out the problem, so two Subura dealers later (who couldn't fit us in that day), Vince was pulling hairs. Finally, another thorough look revealed a 2nd plug had not been connected (wasn't there only suppose to be one?!). Arrived home that Thursday(11-6), and took Duet out the following Monday on the Snake River for her baptismal sail. She performed beautifully! Fifty degrees, blue skies, and wind about 3 knots. Couldn't have asked for a better beginning. We had our trusted friend/instructor on board, Gary Hyde (owner of Vanilla-M15), to keep us from getting into too much trouble. His M15 dates back to the 1980s, so he really liked some of the new features on ours, in particular: the 3 hatch boards (his only has 2), and also the slotted tabernacle, stern pulpit, and seal between the hull and deck. We sipped hot coffee and munched on gorp and oatmeal cookies, and agreed this was the life for us. Stay tuned for pictures and a more detailed story on a web site Vince is building. Later, Vince and Sharon Himsl M15 Duet Moscow, Idaho
