2001 Montgomery 17 #615 "Alina" for Sale in Northern CA Here is your chance to own the best of the old and the best of the new. Alina is a 2001 Montgomery 17 which has been upgraded and pampered since she was purchased in June of 2001. She came well dressed from the factory with several options including shore power, and a rare teak and holly cabin sole. Since then, she has made several visits to Jerry Montgomery's shop, where he has equipped her with a custom rudder, carbon fiber boom (with internal outhaul), custom Harken traveler, and several other upgrades which make her a very special boat! With her ivory lap strake hull, royal blue stripe, and teak toe rail, hatchboards and hand rails, Alina is strikingly beautiful. But looks aren't everything, and Alina has the track record to demonstrate her outstanding performance. She took first place at the 2001 SCA Cruiser Challenge. And to prove it wasn't just beginners luck, she took first place in the first race, first place in the second race, and first place overall in the 2002 SCA Cruiser Challenge. You can read more about Alina in Small Craft Advisor Magazine issues 11 (09/10 2001), 18 (11/12 2002), and the upcoming issue 20 (03/04 2003 I think). Alina was also featured in Small Craft Advisor's "Mini Cruiser Madness" video. Alina is stored in a fully enclosed 10X30 storage unit which keeps her looking like the day she left the factory. Here is a partial list of her features and equipment: - Pulpit mounted running light (by Jerry Montgomery) - Foredeck / Steaming light - Fortress Anchor w/chain and rode - Stainless steel bow pulpit - Forestay relocated to tip of bow for improved performance and added strength (by Jerry Montgomery) - CDI FF2 furler - 100% Jib by Elliot Patteson (fitted for furler) - 150% Genoa by Elliot Patteson (fitted for furler) - Main sail with loose foot and 2 reef points by Elliot Patteson (Returned to Elliot Patteson for installation of second reef point) - Custom carbon fiber boom (by Jerry Montgomery) - Boom vang - Forward hatch - Nissan 4 stroke 4 Hp outboard with internal and external tanks (regularly serviced) - Additional mast compression post (by Jerry Montgomery) - Custom Harken traveler (by Jerry Montgomery) - Custom Rudder (by Jerry Montgomery) - Rudder Pintles and raise/lower hardware relocated to make rudder more effective by dropping rudder an additional 4 inches (by Jerry Montgomery) - Lewmar winches - Adjustable Backstay - Spare centerboard (ordered just to keep on hand) - Spare rudder blade (standard blade replaced by custom blade) - Spare aluminum boom (standard boom replaced by carbon fiber boom) - Full 12v DC/ 120v AC electrical system - Deep cycle marine battery - Tasteful blue fabric upholstery - Teak and holly cabin sole (Factory) - Teak trimmed interior - Porta-Potti - Pacific galvanized trailer - Spare tire and lock mounted on trailer - Internal locking lazarette and cockpit hatches (by Jerry Montgomery) - Lifejackets, throwable cushions - Flare kit - Fire extinguisher - Matching blue fenders - Matching blue Mooring lines (2 15' and 2 25') - No Through-hulls (except for cockpit drains through transom) If you buy a new Montgomery 17 and equip her as Alina has been equipped, you will be into her for well over $21,000. I'm asking $18,000/Offer for Alina and the work is already done! If you are seriously interested and able to take delivery of her in Northern California, please contact me (Bob Campbell) at racsrv(a)attbi.com <mailto:racsrv@aol.com> . But hurry before my big-boat-itis wears off and I come to my senses!

Cheasapeak Bay Cruise 2003
by Doug Kelch 03 Mar '03

03 Mar '03

To All: I will be using the same distribution I used last year so If you would like me to add or drop your name just let me know. It's been a long cold winter and the Bay tributaries are still full of ice. Spring can't come soon enough! I keep thinking back to last years cruise which had some fantastic sailing time. We had a wide variety of conditions all of which led to some good times. We had 4 days of intense heat with mild winds and 4 days of cloudy and cool with good winds. The thought of the evening sail from Battleship creek to Broomes Is was a study in tranquility. Latter in the week The beam reach up the middle of the Bay from Solomons to the Little Choptank was absolutely superb. I expect more of the same. This years CBC will be held Saturday June 7th and will run through the week. I am making the trip to the Dry Tortugas in April for two weeks and will be using much of my vacation time for that. I will be on the CBC from Saturday through at least Tuesday. I have been thinking of starting this years cruise farther south on the Bay around Reedville. This is in an area called the Northern Neck which only got it's first paved roads in the late 40s. It is still undeveloped with few restaraunts or Marinas but the area is great for pristine sailing. Tangier Is is only 14 nm across the Bay on a beam reach from Mill Creek. Tangier is a classic watermans scene. Everyone on the Island makes their living off of the water or the people on it. Many of them Still speak old English. It is a very worthwhile trip if the weather is right. If the conditions aren't good for the Bay crossing there is plenty of good sheltered sailing in the nooks and crannies of the Northern Neck. Please provide some feed back on your level of interest so that we can all get a feel on how things are shaping up this year. If it would be easier for those of you coming down from the North we could set a very nice cruise on Eastern shore above the Bay bridge. This area has more restaurants and power boats and has something for everybody. Ideas Please! If anybody wants a video of last years CBC send a request off line. The rest of the CBC correspondence will off of the mail list. Thanks, Doug Kelch "Seas the Day" M15 #310 __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!

RE: M_Boats: Vibration
by Morris, Giles 02 Mar '03

Just thinking about this, and I'm sure you got there before me... The axis that the laser rotates in will have to be perpendicular to the plane of the laser and the waterline, otherwise the pointer will follow a curved path. Did I make that obscure enough?

But now I've got my new toy and will have to play with it before I can try your idea. Thanks for the idea.

Craig, I haven't taken any special precautions around the decals. Doesn't seem to have affected them.
