"Ladyship"
by BILLAMICASR＠aol.com 20 Mar '05

20 Mar '05

Hi All, Just got off the phone with Steven Wilkinson, owner of the Nor'Sea 27 "Ladyship" on the Photo Site. She wintered at Dana Point and is now on the hard in Berkeley, just across the bay from me. I'm invited over, when it quits raining, to take pictures of her new undersides. When she's splashed and rigged, she goes to Sausalito (close by) and then she'll be cleaned and I'll go over for pics of her custom interior. I'll have new pics up in the next few weeks. Yea, I know, she's not a Monty. But, she's a Lyle Hess design, built by Bob Eeg, absolutely beautiful and she looks just like my M-17, only larger... sorta.

My opinion is we dont need to get personal with any of this... or was that comment in fun? Certainly hope so. If not...What did I do to make you so upset?

Dear Bob Olsen: I'll say this and then no more about the subject... I've been reading the M list for several years. Up until now it has been the most mellow and friendly list I've ever joined. But now, you get the award for the most hostile and angry post yet...by a long shot. It seems you have no regard for civil order and don't follow rules that differ from your ideas. You were very disrespectful to all here and owe an apology. Nobody on the M list is trying to "muffle" your political views. Actually, few care about reading your political views HERE. However, there are political lists for people like you to have "free" speech on. The M list is for people who want to talk boats...and the majority of posts against political messages here clearly sends that message to you. It is proper etiquette to respect the majority and THAT IS the "American" way. Last but not least...Next time I see a post from you it will not be read and immediately deleted. However, IF you continued to spout the same angry jargon and I was the M listmaster, you would be banned. On the other hand, IF I was a political listmaster you would be most welcome...especially if it was a haters list. Respectfully, Bill Pritchett

Boats: milk crates
by Rick Langer 19 Mar '05

19 Mar '05

Hi Connie, That size milk crate sounds like a good solution. I've been using round buckets which keep things separated, but are inefficient in the rectangular space of the locker and have to be squeezed to be removed. Obviously I need a better solution. I'll look for something the size you mentioned. Can you get an anchor, chain and rode in one of them? The anchor that I keep in the port locker is a danforth, so flat might work. But the bruce type I keep in the forward v-berth locker doesn't seem to want to fit in any container. Thanks, Rick Langer M15 #337 > Hi Tod, > > Somewhere in my wanderings I found some form of plastic "milk" crate: > 14" L x 7" W x 14" H, which has been ideal for our M15. > > The holes are small enough so that the rode doesn't ooze out; it fits > neatly against the forward bulkhead of the port sail locker; and I always > have an anchor / chain / rode at hand instantly, if needed. > > I haven's seen any crate that size again, but if I find one, I'll grab it > for additional compartmented storage in the M15. > > Connie

That Bill Guy

This is a non political endorsement of that Bill Guy. The service provided by Bill Lamica in the photo section of the MSOG site is much appreciated by this sailor. I go there often to see how others have things rigged. I can't wait until more of our boats are there. By the number of hits to the site others are also using it. Thanks and keep on pushing Bill. I find Randy's and Doug's sites also helpful, just in case no ones been there; http://sailing.gravesfam.us/default.aspx http://dkelch.funtigo.com/ Fair tides, Rick Langer M15 #337 Hudson River > > Date: Sat, 19 Mar 2005 14:22:29 EST > From: BILLAMICASR(a)aol.com > Subject: Re: M_Boats: political discussion > To: montgomery_boats(a)mailman.xmission.com > Message-ID: <19c.2f8591d8.2f6dd5f5(a)aol.com> > Content-Type: text/plain; charset="US-ASCII" > > In a message dated 3/19/2005 6:53:17 AM Pacific Standard Time, > scgray(a)worldnet.att.net writes: > (and send photos to that Bill guy who's always begging for > pictures). > > Now, is that a slam... to that Bill guy who's always begging for pictures. > Between you and me I try to do the M-Boats a service.

I like a political discussion as much as anyone, but we don't do that on my boat. I find that I can get along with most anyone, and that there is no point in letting the minutae of political discussion detract from the purpose of sailing... That purpose, obviously, has nothing to do with getting from point "A" to point "B" as fast as possible. Let's please leave it out of this list. Remember, there are two sides to environmental arguments as much as on any other topic. Calm down, go sailing, and then have a drink in a tavern. If the tavern discussion turns into a brawl, then Count Me In!

I've been having trouble getting onto the site myself. The Photo Site is getting over 1000 hits a week. That times other Funtigo sites and my guess is, it's overwhelming them (again). It will take a week or two for them to upgrade and then we'll have smooth sailing for a while. It promises to be a fun summer, Bill

It's James Not Steven...

I could have waited to be corrected. Just thought I'd get it first. I said it was Steven Wilkinson. My error, it's James Wilkinson who owns "Ladyship"... Nice guy none the less. Bill
