Bob That is a beautiful boat. The last time I was at your shop I was impressed with the boat in its early stages. The pictures show you and Jerry were able to stick with the high quality and the traditional image so characteristic of Lyle's designs. Good luck with this new boat. Tom

No problem, Tod. I was just kiddin'. Jump the gun anytime you want; it's good to know someone's surfing the MSOG. I talked with Bob today, there's still more to come, including cushions, more interior shots, bowsprit, etc. They'll be added to Part 6. The link to 7 from 6 works now, and I'm gonna do some other stuff to clean it all up and make it easier to move around. Thanks Tod, your input is always appreciated.

Part Five: Production and Assembly & other MSOG news
by Doug King 07 Nov '02

07 Nov '02

1. Well, Tod pre-empted me. Dude keeps me on my toes (somebody needs to). There is a new Part Five in the creation story of the new M-23. It went up last night (they all go up the day I get them). I didn't announce it yet because Part Six should be coming any day now and I thought I'd flabbergast you by announcing them both at once. At any rate, see the latest developments at http://msog.org/models/m23new/modelm23_new.cfm , Part Five. Featured in this installment: rudder, boomkin, bowsprit, galley, trim, and other goodies. 2. PLEASE DON"T RESPOND TO THIS PART NOW! It's time to update the MSOG registry. In the next couple of weeks, I'll be sending all MSOG registrants an e-mail asking you to please let me know whether to renew or delete your entry (except for the 12 for whom I have no e-mail address, who I'll contact through the listserv, except for the five for whom I have no contact information). It's either this or a login and password system that no one wants. More info will come with the renewal e-mail. This is just a preliminary heads-up. 3. Good News: The author of the Lyle Hess article saw it and gave us permission to keep it online, so naturally, Bad News: much of the article web page was immediately lost during a bad ftp transfer three minutes later. First time that's happened. One way or another, it'll be back online soon. I'll let you know when Part Six of the new M-23 is ready. I promise.

Centerboard on M15
by Bud Holzschuh 07 Nov '02

07 Nov '02

Hi I am a new owner of an older (1983) M15. The boat appears in good shape but was delivered without the centerboard installed. The centerboard is fairly small, weighs about 40 lbs or so. And on quick inspection appears not to have a hinge pin. The problem is - I'll be darned if I can figure out what to do with it!!! There apears to be no place in the cabin to operate it from! 1. I assume its installed from the outside (bottom) - but how? 2. How necessary is the centerboard ? I have had other shoal keel/CB boats where the CB was only used for upwind work and then was not much of an improvement. Any suggestions/advice greatly appreciated!!

Re: M_Boats: Calling all M23 owners

Hello Dennis, Thanks for the info on your M23! I will be happy to measure my boat on it's trailer, but it is 100 miles away in storage for the winter. I don't know how soon I'll be back down in that area. Theo has his in a pole barn a bit closer to St. Paul, where he lives. How about a rough guess-timate? Length 26 feet Width 9 feet Height 14 feet. I tried backing it into two car washes to spray the bottom after haul-out and I couldn't make it into either! Both had tall doors. Theo's bronze ports from New Found Metals are very classy.

Bones, I have Hull #2, 1978 M23 "Walkabout." I keep her in the water most of the year on the Maryland side of the Potomac River, about 14 miles from the Chesapeake Bay. Still warm temps here (60s) and good sailing through December. I'm leaving Thursday for 3-4 days down the Potomac to the Coan and Yeocomico Rivers in Virginia. This is a beautiful time of year with the leaves changing color. Pictures of Walkabout can be found on the MSOG web site. I've got a couple of projects I want to do this year that include installing shore power and brass portholes (thanks for the pictures Theo!). Can you or any other M23er provide measurements of the M23 while on the trailer? I'm planning to build a boat house and want to make sure I allow enough room for height and length to accommodate the M23 with trailer. Regards, Dennis Chapman M23 #002 "Walkabout"

Planning to Buy M-15
by Don Stubbs 06 Nov '02

06 Nov '02

I am contemplating the purchase of a new M-15 between now and Christmas. (Although I would consider purchasing a late model pre-owned M-15 if available.) However I would like to see one prior to placing an order so that I may judge the quality of construction and suitability of design. Would anyone be interested in showing their boat to me? I live near Greensboro, NC. Don Stubbs 4606 Joseph Hoskins Road Summerfield, NC 27358 Cell: 336-707-8220 stubbsd(a)msn.com
