New Monty 15 owner introduction
by nbundek 10 Nov '04

I just bought a 1981 Montgomery 15' hull number 172. I took it out of Channel Islands Harbor, CA harbor between Anacapa Island and the harbor this past Saturday and had a wonderful time. My boat is now in a Ventura Harbor dry slip. This will be my non trailerable water entry. I have always been a power boater. Six months ago. I bought a sailing Hobie Outback which piqued my interest in real sailing. The Hobie experience changed my mind about sailing. Now, I want to take my Hobie behind me to the channel Islands for some exploring. After reading every post, article and user group web sites, I settled on the Montgomery 15. I wanted a small first time boat, trailerable by a regular car, with some space inside and a head. This was the perfect boat as you already know. It seems to be sea worthy but needs some cosmetic work which I am looking forward to. I only need to figure out a way to raise the mast by myself and set up the sails for single sailing. Any suggestions? Now I have to learn by doing since I've read just about every thing available. If there are any Montgomery's in the Ventura area, please contact me to sail around the area.

My jib halyard wond reach the bow cleat, pulpit, or stem fitting so I clip a short length of rope to the bow cleat. The rope has a ring in the end and the jib halyard attaches there. I then hold the jib halyard in one hand while raising the mast with the other. I cleat the jib halyard to the mast and VOILA! the mast stays up. After snapping the forestay in place. I drag the boom out of the cabin. the boom has the main already flaked to it so I dont have to rig the sail. I tow with the motor on the mount and the rudder in the back of the truck ready to drop in place. I little organization and its a quick job Don

RE: M_Boats: Question about M-15 Keel

Ron, We sail an 88 M15 #407. I had always thought the keel was lead, I had thought (assumed) the 15's switched from cast to lead the same time the 17's did in 1987. Others on the list had suggested to use a magnet against the keel to check as a which ballast material you had. I was surprised to see on our 88 model that the magnet had an attraction to the keel; thus cast iron ballast. The magnet attraction was very slight, but never the less there was an attraction. My guess would be the switch from cast to lead occurred shortly after hull number 407.
