Fin Keel Photo Album
by Bill Lamica 26 Apr '06

26 Apr '06

Hi all, Here's an exclusive... Thanks to Dorothy Eisen for sending the photos, I've started an album for Motu iti, the fin keel M17. I've only just begun on it and have the first three in the water photos posted. I think I'll have a few on the trailer shots ready by tomorrow and should be able to complete the album. What a nice boat! Bill Start at the What's New Page http://www.msogphotosite.com/WhasNew.html

I'm sure you've all heard of Robert Manry and his transatlantic trip aboard the smaller-than-an-M15 Tinkerbelle, but you may not have read these articles: http://www.cleveland.com/sundaymag/plaindealer/index.ssf?/sundaymag/more /tinkerbelle1.html http://www.cleveland.com/sundaymag/plaindealer/index.ssf?/sundaymag/more /tinkerbelle2.html http://www.cleveland.com/sundaymag/plaindealer/index.ssf?/sundaymag/more /tinkerbelle3.html

Anything you could tell us about the boat would be greatly appreciated. I have the impression she flies like a bat out of Hades. Am I correct? I would rather not humiliate myself in public, but I am prepared to beg for details. If you have more pictures...well you should know the drill. Thank you, steve Steve R.

Motu iti

We appreciate your interest in our boat. We realize it is rare and will take someone special to appreciate it. The only reason that we are selling it is because we have retired and spend the majority of our time traveling in our RV. It would be a shame to see such a wonderful boat deteriorate from lack of use. When we bought our Montgomery is was registered in Alaska and owned by a retired Army officer in New Mexico. It's name at that time was Valhalla. We renamed it Motu iti which in Tahitian means little island. I will try to get some pictures together. The keel depth is approximatly 3 ft and because of this is not subject to side slipage while beating. We would be happy to answer any of your questions, curiousity or interest in the boat.

Bill(a)MSOGPhotoSite.com Thanks, I know the list would love to see her there and - What does her name mean? Bill

Potter turtled on the Potomac
by Doug Kelch 25 Apr '06

Just an FYI - third party report so it could be full of BS. I sail out of the Washington Sailing Marina just south of National airport. My race crew told me that our local WWP 15 turned turtle in the river on Saturday. A gusty day but not over 22 kts, there is a gravel bar along side the deep water channel where the big power boats plow along at speed. I have talked with the skipper on numerous occasions before the incident and he seemed to be a conservative sailor - reefed early most days. The report is that a combination gust and big wake flipped it over on it's side with the hatches open. The boat then filled with water and turned turtle. the single handed skipper finally got it righted by himself after spending 30 - 40 minute in the 60 deg water. The entire cabin was full of water and he could not pump it out or bail faster than it came back in. A local rescue/fire boat came out with a big pump and drained the boat. The owner then sailed back. My speculation is that the firs wake stopped all forward motion and the gust caught him broadside. Well - don't take waves 90 deg to the bow, 45 deg will keep the boat speed up. Thanks Doug Kelch __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!

I believe Montgomery Marine built only special order fixed keel M17s. Like Howard said, I'm also surprised to see a '92 with a fixed keel. t Tom Smith Next IT 509-242-0767 ext. 1035 -----Original Message----- From: montgomery_boats-bounces+tsmith=nextit.com(a)mailman.xmission.com [mailto:montgomery_boats-bounces+tsmith=nextit.com@mailman.xmission.com] On Behalf Of Robert L.
