historical Chesapeake Bay cruising
by htmills＠bright.net 21 Jul '06

21 Jul '06

Someone posted this link to cruising on the Chesapeake/Delaware Bays and area in the early 1900's: http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~fassitt/barrie/cruises.html Tod M17 #408 BuscaBrisas Warning, there is, as would be expected in historical writing, some language that today is considered offensive. Nonetheless, there are some interesting notes on cruising in that day along with historical photos of places a number of us have visited.

Northern California Montgomery sail
by Bobbie Mayer 20 Jul '06

20 Jul '06

I'd be interested if it is after Aug 20 and someone needs/wants crew; my M15 is staying in Washington but I have to return to Fresno. (I have sailed it on the Bay, though, many years ago.) Bobbie

Jeff, you might want to practice reefing without your friend. You'll be surprised and pleased at how well-mannered your M17 will become in very windy conditions. t Tom Smith & Jane Van Winkle M17 #496 -----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 Jeff Royce Sent: Thursday, July 20, 2006 10:40 AM To: For and about Montgomery Sailboats Subject: Re: M_Boats: Anyone interested in a N.

Would like to see a M-15 and M-17

I'm interested in buying a small sailboat and the M15 and M17 are on my short list of boats that sound like they'd be what I'm looking for. I haven't seen them in person though. Would someone locally let me come by to see your boat? I live just south of Portland OR, near Wilsonville. Please e-mail me if you wouldn't mind showing me your boat. Thanks so much! Jan Laurin

Mark; There is, for sure, one M15 at Richarson Park Marina. I can see Faith from my boat. The 17's are on the D and E dock with Dream Catcher as well. I'll be there tororrow morning (Friday) to do some work, but with the temp forcast for 100 degrees in Eugene, don't know if we will get out for a sail or a "float & bake" if the wind is calm. DC is getting new genoa sheets a Cunningham and a boom vang. Hopefuly we will see you at the lake sometime. Hi Jan; I would be happy to show you my M15 if you are planning to be in the area let me know.

Monty T-shirts Sweatshirts, etc.
by Nebwest2＠aol.com 19 Jul '06

19 Jul '06

It's Crunch Time gang. Today is 7-15, 1 month from when we announced you could order Monty T-shirts, Sweatshirts, Long Sleeve T's, and Zip-up Hoodies. It looks like its a go, but just barely. We didn't even come close to the minimum order of 50 items. Right now we are standing around 25 or so. I talked to the T-shirt place and if I agree to pay additional set-up fees they will run a smaller order. So I think that's what I'm gonna do. I really want to see this come together, especially after David Wood went to so much trouble to do the artwork for us. If you are wanting to get in on this I need to hear from you ASAP to make sure that the items you want in the sizes you want are ordered. I'm not going to order a bunch of extra stock like the I did on the caps and mugs because I'd never in a million years guess right on which items and what sizes to order. Mrs. Mulligan says "No stockpiles of Monty shirts are to be laying around the house...and no, we are not going to be giving them out birthdays, weddings, bridal showers, etc., to clear out the office out of unsold stock!" So, under the threat of having to move out and onto my Monty (with all my Monty Mugs, Monty Hats, Monty ...you get the idea) I'm going to make the order specific to what has been ordered and paid for. If you already ordered stuff, Great! and thanks. And...if you have a Monty buddy that might be interested and doesn't get on the MSOG list very often you might want to mention it o him/her. I am going to contact the t-shirt place on Monday and tell them to start the process of burning the silk screens for the artwork. It will probably take them at least week or two to get that done. Once that's done I'll have to finalize the quantities of the items. So there is still a little time left. Please email me off list so we don't tie everything up here. Thanks......and if you are tired of reading about Monty T's...thanks for your patience!! If you still need to check out the artwork go to www.havasumontgomerys.funtigo.com and click on the T-shirt Sweatshirt link. Sean

Anyone in Southern California wants a M-17 FREE ($50 donation to United Way appreciated but not required)?
by Carlos Albar-Diaz 19 Jul '06

I have just ordered a new trailer from Pacific trailers so I need to find a home for my old trailer (the boat was made in 1982; the trailer may be made in 1982). The trailer is OK for normal use except for the rusty fenders (I took one off already); I only buy a new one because I need a trailer that is shorter to fit in the garage of my new house and I do not have time to find a place that will modify the old trailer before I move (August 3rd). DMV documents are in good order an dlights work excpet for the side marker on the right side. I do not have the time to sell it so I am ready to give it away (this is only subject to the new trailer being ready on time) . A check for US$50 payable to United Way is not required but it would be appreciated. DMV documents are in good order. The trailer is stored at the Pacific trailers plan in Chino, CA. If you are interested and you are prepared to pick it up from Chino, CA at a time to be defined Saturday July 29th am please drop me an email with your name and cell number. Best regards Carlos

T-shirts, Sweatshirts, Long Sleeve T's and Zip-up hoodies are a go! We've got enough orders in to make it possible. Artwork is in the process of being burnt onto silk screens as of today. All payment checks that were sent in have been deposited. Thanks to everyone who supported this project. I need to give the T-shirt shop a final count of items and sizes in about a week to week and a half. If you were waiting to see if we pulled this off, we have. Make sure to get ahold of me asap if you want to add anything to the order. We should ship in 4-5 weeks. Thanks guys! I'm excited about having my Zip-up hooded sweatshirt this fall! Sean
