North Channel Cruise
by htmills＠bright.net 02 Nov '06

02 Nov '06

I'm planning on a two week North Channel Cruise in mid June. I'll probably drive from Ohio to Tobermory, take the Chi-Cheemaun ferry over to South Baymouth (Manitoulin Island), and then drive to Little Current (Manitoulin Island) on Saturday June 5th. I might end up taking the ferry on the morning of the 6th depending on how late I hit the road. At the present time I'm thinking of making a general counter clockwise spin around the North Channel, launching at Spider Bay Marina in Little Current and going north and then west to the Bustard Islands and west and then crossing south to the west end of Manitoulin and returning east again. Of course, all plans are subject to the weather and whims of the person at the helm! Mid June will probably be a bit ahead of the crowd and still kinda nippy. There is some info on the area at: http://www.continuouswave.com/north-channel/ and here: http://www.continuouswave.com/sail-logs/ If anyone else is planning on a trip up there, perhaps we can meet up!

What have you folks who have the Yamaha 2.5, 4 stroke pay for your motors ? I am getting $950. and up here in the Sacramento Valley region. Does that sound right? Of course the manufacturer's site displays a much lower price....what a tease! ---Larry ---M-15 hull #189 -----Original Message----- From: Randy Watkins [mailto:watkins@iodp.tamu.edu] Sent: Friday, July 30, 2004 9:26 AM To: montgomery_boats(a)mailman.xmission.com Subject: RE: M_Boats: Yamaha 2.5 Rik, The spc sheet says 38 lbs. http://www.yamaha.com/ Randy W. >>> sanderico(a)earthlink.net 7/30/04 9:50:00 AM >>> I am curious re the Yamaha 2.5.

Bottom Work?
by Mark Escovedo 04 Aug '04

04 Aug '04

Ahoy All, I'm currently stripping quite a few years of old bottom paint off the boat. While visiting my local boat store today I ran into a guy who is the local go fast guru for the Martin 242 fleet. As it happens he is redoing the bottom of his boat as well. He mentioned he would be using "Proline Superwhite epoxy" and no anti-fouling as most of the 242 fleet is dry sailed. Has anyone used or heard of this product. I've had only limited success in finding information on the web about this product. Any thoughts Mark M17 F/D #103

Wannabe, requests M-15 picture
by David Wood 04 Aug '04

04 Aug '04

Hello all, After rummaging through the archives here, the MSOG site (and others), and visiting Bob Eeg's operation in Ontario, I am convinced that an M-15 is the boat for me. Now for the tricky part: convincing She Who Must Be Obeyed that it's also the boat for her. To that end, I'm looking for a great picture of an M-15 under sail. One that will plant the seed of desire, if not absolutely seduce her. I've seen many good pictures so far, but none that will really close the deal. So if any of you have such a picture and could either tell me the link to it or email it to me, I would be most appreciative. What I'm looking for is this: an M-15 under full sail, full frame, with pleasant weather, happy crew--you know, something that will make her think that sailing an M-15 is the absolutely best thing one could possibly imagine. I'd just as soon not have a picture of an M-15 becalmed under an overcast sky, or with the boat heeled way over, crew getting wet or hanging on for dear life. Or a picture of a great sunset with a tiny speck of a boat in the distance, or boat on a trailer, or some such thing. I looking for something I can point to and say: Look Hon, doesn't that look like too much fun? So anyway, if any of you have such a picture and wouldn't mind sharing it, you'd be doing me a huge favor. Thank you in advance. And great archives, by the way. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= David W.

This is just a heads up for anyone interested in buying a late model Montgomery 17. There is a 1992 M17 for sale in Oregon for $8500 including trailer. This one obviously has a fiberglass board. You can view it by doing a search on www.boattraderonline.com. Good luck!

I'll be wanting to solo on a few occasions, and I see folks are saying that launching & rigging an M15 by yourself is OK. How about riggin an M17 solo? Part of the thrill of Michigan, is that there are literally hundreds of good sailing inland lakes, besides the Great Lakes, and Lake St. Clair; so, being able to trailer her is half the fun.

RE: M_Boats: Preventer
by Smith, Tom 31 Jul '04

31 Jul '04

To my knowledge, no M15 or 17 came with a dedicated preventer. Certainly easy enough to rig one. On our M15 I use a shackle in the aft hole in the shroud chain plate (I rig the shroud from the forward hole, obviously) combined with my boom vang. It's easy to disconnect my boom vang from the foot of the mast and move it to the plate, which is what I do. I'd add that I don't utilize a preventer all the time going downwind--mostly when I'm sailing wing/wing and I'm more apt to sail by the lee, or when there's a big swell on.

Hi Steve, I've tried reaching the M-15 owners in White City and Klamath Falls, but the one in White City doesn't respond to my emails, and the one in Klamath Falls doesn't seem to be there anymore, and hasn't left an email address. I'd sure like to see one of the boats in the flesh, but so far all I've seen is a partially assembled one at the factory in Ontario. Kind of frustrating. But thanks for responding to my post.
