I like the idea of two people being able to sit across from each other. Hi Tom, I cut my sailing teeth on a Catalina 22 with just such a galley. We never used it, slid it out a few times to see how it worked. May be an idea to see how they make their factory set up. I wish I had the cents key on this laptop... Then I could add - just my $.02 cents. Bill Sailboatless in Oregon

Hi Rich, Sound as if the leaves are still in the centerboard trunk. Any chance of getting a garden hose into the cockpit while the boat is at a dock and the CB is down? Then you could try directing a stream of water into the CB pennant hole, and hopefully flush away the leaves. Since leaves and twigs tend to float inside the CB trunk, a sail on a brisk day with decent waves, CB down, might cause your debris to be ejected via the cockpit drain hole for collection and disposal. Repeated raising and lowering of the CB might also grind them down into pieces that are small enough to eventually disappear. .....or get Harry Potter to use his "Disparo" charm .... Connie

I happen to know that Bob is experiencing computer problems. They're replaceing some stuff and it could be a bit until they are done. Second dilema... Nor'Sea doesn't have a shipping department nor does it make the bow rail. Maybe the person who makes them can / will do a shipping for Bob. Bill www.msog.funtigo.com

Hi Rachel and all, I also saw that boat for sale many years ago, it was offered by Northland Yachts in Minnetonka, Mn. It was very worn and tired, but you also need to consider that Dave Nixon claimed to have sailed that M17 many hundreds of miles through the Carribean. I chartered a variety of boats from Dave, who formerly was chartermaster of Superior Charters in Bayfield, WI. Great guy, but he did have a stern side. (no play on words intended). This is a high NM M17, too bad we don't have odometers. Dave put me in touch with a charter captain that worked for him, John, from whom I purchased my M17 1976 #92. Later, Bones

M-15 Topping Lift
by Paul Baker 17 Aug '05

17 Aug '05

Hi Fellow Sailors. My name is Paul Baker, from Orange County, California. I have an M-15 "Chili Pepper", made in 1982. I would like to install a topping lift but there is no block aloft. Any suggestions on where and how to install on the aluminum mast ? This is a great forum....I have been reading it for some time now and have learned a lot about the Mongomerys. Thanks!
