Fred, Great job on Dulce. She's a beauty. I'd love to see more photos of her some time.

Bill, Thanks for what you are doing. It's a great web site! A minor point of correction. The picture of the boat up on blocks in front of our house is a 2004 shot .... I believe in April and was in the early part of the refit. Had to take here off the trailer to take out the centerboard and do the bottom. Thus, the overhead rig to suspend her so that I could pull the trailer out cleanly and then crib up the bow. The blocks under her while on the trailer were needed to raise her high enough to paint a spot covered by the hull supports. Once the boot top was painted and cured I took those blocks out and she is down where she should be.

Hi All, We have a new M-17 on the photo site. Fred Berthrong's 1979 #300 "Dulce". Red Awlgrip Hull. Just finished the refit. Very pretty... you'll probably want to ask Fred about his motor and charging system. Remember Fred made his own Genoa? Wait till you see the rest of the boat. Also added a couple more boats and people to the MSOG Boats and owners albums. Fair Winds, Bill www.MSOG.funtigo.org/ PS.... I need more dinghys, M-15's and a few nice 23's for the site!!! I know it's winter, but that's a good time to drag out the photo's to see what you've got.

Does anyone have any information on the Montgomery 12 sailing dinghy. I am in the process of restoring one and would be most appreciative of a sailplan, brochures picturing the boat or any info that might be pertinent. Thanks Keith Harris

Recommendations for a M15 solar panel?
by Norm Bundek 21 Nov '04

21 Nov '04

I've looked on line for solar panels and found that they seem too big for my M15. Does anyone use solar panels for battery charging? If yes, what brand and where did you put it? What size battery are you using? Norm M15 #172

Hi Larry, Put me down. It may be a pipe dream, but keep me in the loop anyway. I'd like very much to attend. Bill

San Juan Rendezvous
by Larry E Yake 21 Nov '04

21 Nov '04

Last years San Juan Rendezvous was such a great time that planning is already underway for the return trip. Several boaters who weren't able to make it last year have already said they won't miss the next one, so I'm expecting we'll have an even larger turnout. We're talking about possibly making it a 2 week trip this time. A week in the San Juans and then a week in the Canadian Gulf Islands. People could come for either or both weeks. It will probably be in early June again to miss the big crowds and take advantage of the long days. If you're interested in next years trip, let me know and I'll start a separate e-mail list of possible participants for planning and updating purposes, with occasional updates to the whole list. Last years list had 18 boaters on it, although only 7 were able to make the trip, so don't feel like signing up is a commitment. Mark your calenders for early June! Last years trip was the highlight of my summer and I expect next year to be just as good or better. Only 5 1/2 months to go...... Larry Yake M17 #200 Tullamore "In a power boat you get there faster.

HI Larry, I did miss it last year and would love to attend this year if possible. Please add me to your mailing list. Two weeks sailing in the San Juans sounds like a dream come true.
