Naturally, I hit the Send button and the commercial came on two seconds later. It will air this Thursday and is about National Parks. Don't know if it's one episode or a series. ------------------------------------------ Doug King M-17 #404 "Vixen" Montgomery Sailboats Owners Group Web site: http://msog.org Email: mailto:msog@msog.org

TV Show about Dry Tortugas
by Doug King 11 Dec '02

11 Dec '02

There was a promo last night on the Travel Channel about a new series that is starting soon on Thursday nights at 9 Eastern. One of the episodes will be about the Dry Tortugas. Looks interesting. By the way, the main anchorage is directly in front of the main entrance to Fort Jefferson, all of which was shown in one of the aerial shots.

Boat Covers
by Steve Foster 10 Dec '02

10 Dec '02

Hi I just purchased a 'almost new' Montgomery 15 hull #612. Just got it home and in the garage. I was wondering if anyone knows who makes a boat cover for the boat and it's cost. I'll be storing "Miss Q" outside and would like a really good cover. Thanks again and looking forward to meeting some of you sailors. We're from San Diego.

Hi Martin, Welcome aboard. I'm in Mpls and trailer sail my M17. I'm planning a trip to Duluth/Superior this coming summer. I'll get a transient slip at Barker's Island. Perhaps we can cross paths sometime, I'm in Duluth on a regular basis for work. I also sail a M23 on Lake Pepin.

Lenny, You asked for it............ You can fit as many people in a boom tent until it goes BOOM. Then subtract one person, and you should give you the definitive number. Connie

Hi! I'm Martin Johnson, a new list member and owner of Sunflower, M17 number 218. I've owned it for a little over a year and sail on lake superior near Duluth, MN and Bayfield, WI. I've seen four M17s in my area. I'm currently doing major keel/centerboard trunk renovation and was hoping to access the current archive by becoming a member. Is the 1998-July '02 the only searchable archive? thanks! Martin.

boom tent
by rc2222＠postoffice.pacbell.net 06 Dec '02

Tom: I'd need a digital camera and some assistance with transferring the pictures to a web site. Hogin Sails made a boom tent for Bert Felton. A picture of his setup is in one of the old newsletters. Mine is similar except that it extends forward of the mast with an open area to see what's going on off the bow ( I throw the sail bags up there at night so I have more room below and they won't be wet in the morning). It neatly fits over the lifelines and stern pulpit approximately three to four inches. You have approximately 5'7" standing headroom from the cabin sole to the bottom of the boom. I've never used the hatch boards when the tent is up. It has a zipper which you can unzip and zip from the inside as well as the outside at the end of the boom extending to the stern pulpit. The boom tent keeps you dry and warm and give you lots of privacy. It also seems to keep the bugs out. Many times when I anchor in the early evening I am attacked by all sorts of bugs but as soon as the tent is up they seem to stay away. I cook with the Origo stove and hang a candle arrangement from the boom for light, which I got at a backpacking store. It's also a great duck blind. Recently, at Silver Lake at the lee side of Treasure Island ( Hwy 88 at 7,200 foot elevation), I would sit on the bottom of the cockpit floor and watch all the many different birds swim all around the boat without a clue that I was there. You can take some fantastic pictures. The construction of the tent is first class sunbrella. Margaret and a helper spent almost an hour on the boat taking measurements. The cost was over $ 500. but it has made a world of difference in enjoying overnight trips. I don't like camping and I was really disappointed when I stayed on the boat overnight the first year I had "Really". Now, I go on six to ten trips from Spring through Fall and can handle one and sometimes two nights without any misgivings-yet. I also had lee cloths made. This time by the Spinnaker Shop in Palo Alto. They are classy looking. I can use them for privacy around other boats or as an addition to the boom tent to keep wind, rain, and bugs out, if need be. I've really only needed them to keep the wind out while cooking when anchored off the stern cleats, which I often do during the warm valley nights at Woodward, McClure or Don Pedro Reservoirs and at my favorite go to sailing lake - Trinity Lake. I won't use the boom tent during the winter months because I don't want to get it dirty. I cover the boat with canvass. Rich Cottrell "Really" M15 # 288
