M-17 Transom
by larry parks 28 Apr '04

28 Apr '04

Howdy, I'm new to the Montgomery Sailboats, have sailed in the past and currently have a little AMF Puffer sailboat but back to my question as I window shop for a M-17. I have noticed that some older boats have a cut out transom for the aux. motor. Is this from the factory or an owner field modification and what about following seas coming into the boat?

CBC 2004 - coming soon
by Doug Kelch 28 Apr '04

28 Apr '04

Saturday June 12 Saturday June 19 Only 6 weeks to go before the 2004 Montgomery Chesapeake Bay Cruise on the Chester river! If any of you had a chance to read a cruising guide on the area skim through it again. It will make you quiver with anticipation. When John Edwards writes his article on the best places to cruise in the US via small boats this will rank in the top 2! (no bias here :)) Protected waters yet open to the breeze and wide enough for some long effortless tacks. Lots of shore line to explore, lots of clams to dig, lots of beaches to walk (well at least 2), an absence of jellyfish and best of all the company of likeminded sailors. 8 skippers confirmed so far! If interested respond off-list Thanks Doug Kelch doug_kelch(a)yahoo.com M15 "Seas the Day" __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Win a $20,000 Career Makeover at Yahoo!

Not enough Monty Group mail...
by BILLAMICASR＠aol.com 28 Apr '04

Hi All, Seems that there is a lull in MSOG Emails. Well, I found something worth mentioning. Seems that there are some Monty owners that also own PSC Flickas. I've looked at them and sailed a couple. Excellent Sailing ships. So, I happened upon the "possible deal of the day on Ebay - Item number: 2476193281 is a 1980 Flicka with trailor with a buy it now price of ONLY $12,500.00. She is in Marquette, Michigan. She's not for me... But I sure hope someone deserving ends up with her. Suppose the economy is driving the prices down? Seems very reasonable. I looked at the Flicka quite seriously just a year ago and didn't find any under 20K. And this one is with trailor! Have fun looking! Bill

Returned home today to find the 2004 updates to the Great Lakes Cruising Club log books in my mailbox and a batch of charts and sailing directions for the North Channel next to the door. Naturally, I spread the charts out. A fellow could get LOST among all those islands and spend the rest of his days wandering around never seeing the same place twice. It will probably be chilly, but that should mean more anchorages shared with only the loons and other wildlife. Last year I saw fox, eagle, snake, etc. Hopefully this year a bear will put in an appearance. I plan to be prepared with better photo equipment this year.

Interested in M-17
by Derr, William E Mr USAMRIID 27 Apr '04

27 Apr '04

Hi to all Montgomery boat owners. I would love to hear from someone with a M-17 in the Maryland/Virginia area. I currently sail an Ensenado 20 (another Lyle Hess design) which is very capable, but I'm not 100% sure it will be my final boat. I've read enough about the M-17 that I need to see one, and hopefully sail one. William E.

Re: Cruising in (former) Yugoslavia

Hi Scott. To further whet your appetite about cruising in the Adriatic and the Yugoslavian coast, read the article in CRUISING WORLD - May 2004 issue, Pages 54 to 60. Stan Smith, the author, was an American Professor at the University of Zagreb for a number of years, and with his family sailed extensively in the area I described to you. Great article; would almost make me want to sell the M15; buy a Flicka, and head back there again. Connie
