Mini "Man" Overboard Drill
by Randy Wirth 22 Dec '07

22 Dec '07

My reality therapy came with losing my favorite hat overboard in a 35+ mph day on Bear Lake. I was able to retrieve the hat after 45 minutes of effort. My son's 12-year-old friend who was along for the adventure laughed at me when he saw me in the hat some months afterward. It was scary and sobering thinking about what it would have been like if it had been one of the kids overboard! Practice,practice,practice! randy M-17 "Fore Play" ----- Original Message ----- From: <montgomery_boats-request(a)mailman.xmission.com> To: <montgomery_boats(a)mailman.xmission.com> Sent: Thursday, December 20, 2007 8:50 PM Subject: montgomery_boats Digest, Vol 58, Issue 22 > Send montgomery_boats mailing list submissions to > montgomery_boats(a)mailman.xmission.com > > To subscribe or unsubscribe via the World Wide Web, visit > http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/montgomery_boats > or, via email, send a message with subject or body 'help' to > montgomery_boats-request(a)mailman.xmission.com > > You can reach the person managing the list at > montgomery_boats-owner(a)mailman.xmission.com > > When replying, please edit your Subject line so it is more specific > than "Re: Contents of montgomery_boats digest..." > > > Today's Topics: > > 1.

Hello members: I bought M17 hull number 626 (2004) in late winter, and still need more time to bring it back to "new" before taking it out. I think there is a picture of the finished boat on Bob Eeg's website (taken at the factory in '04, with tanbark sails). Now it has a roller-furling jib, and I bought an Idasailor kickup rudder to try it out. The complete electrical system might have been unnecessary for my purposes, but it is pretty slick. I live in June Lake, which is high up in the eastern Sierra Nevada of California, and I want to sail in the local lakes to start, but I have designs on some Colorado River lakes (Powell, Mead, Havasu), Puget Sound, the Texas and Florida gulf coasts, and who knows what other great American waters. I would also like to return to Bahia Magdelena and other localities in Baja California and along the Mexican mainland. I have had a Nor'Sea 27 forever, but I wanted something more agile to hit small lakes than the 27, but more capable than my venerable gaff-rigged WW Potter. I certainly look forward to interacting with the group. Tom Jenkins Scintilla #626

M-15 Keel surgery with Happy Ending

Jim, Nice job on Pelican and way to hang in there. As you know, I can relate to the painful process and the occasional feeling of , uh-oh,,,,,,now what! Now to get her wet again! Think about coming over to Lake Havasu in Feb and joining us for the Pocket Cruiser Get-Together. We've got 6 other Montgomerys planning on attending as well as 3 or 4 Potter and a couple of Catalinas. You can find details on the event at: _http://pic1.piczo.com/havasumontgomerys/?g=29794824_ (http://pic1.piczo.com/havasumontgomerys/?g=29794824) That invite goes for anyone. It's starting to sound like there's going to be a friendly rivalry between the Monty and Potter gangs! There is also a message board set-up for info on the event at _http://www.quicktopic.com/40/H/LSmQsY3ZHAv_ (http://www.quicktopic.com/40/H/LSmQsY3ZHAv) So far the Monty's have the number son their side...But Capt Howie of the Socal Potters (a good friend and great guy) has put out the call for Potter reinforcements! There is a list of those that have said they are planning on attending on the webpage. Again.....Congratulations on a job well done!

M-15 Keel surgery with Happy Ending
by Jim Sadler 21 Dec '07

21 Dec '07

Through out the keel surgery I was a nervous wreck. I wondered if the Pelican would every sail the high seas again. Bob and his expert fiberglass artist got me through it. The Pelican is "stitched-up" and once again sea worthy. I will no longer be just a virtual sea captain on this list. I am heading for the launch ramp and out to sea! Check-out the last pictures on my blog. http://picasaweb.google.com/jascopacific/M15KeelRepair It is unbelievable excellent craftsmanship that is almost impossible to find What a Christmas present Thanks Bob Felix and Lorenzo at Montgomery (949) 489-8227 Captain James Albert Sadler Skipper sailing vessel Pelican M-15 montgomery_boats(a)mailman.xmission.com James A.

plastic in the ocean
by Nick Chappell 20 Dec '07

20 Dec '07

Rick, thanks for sharing the article about plastic trash in the Pacific. "(Check out: http://www.mindfully.org/Plastic/Ocean/Moore-Trashed-PacificNov03.htm)" I have been following the discussion on the group with interest -- it does my heart good to see there are others who are as incensed as I am about the random dumping of plastic. It seems there are many boaters in my home waters who pitch overboard anything and everything. We usually return home with a garbage bag (yep, plastic) with a lot of stuff we have picked up at the ramp and on the water. Kind of a mini man overboard drill while sailing. Only a small step, but you know: "Think globally, act locally" Merry Christmas! Nick C. M17 #69 --------------------------------- Be a better friend, newshound, and know-it-all with Yahoo! Mobile.

We are switching to the new Yanmar 2YM-15 (twin cylinder) for the M_23. I have bought TWO of the now discontinued 1GM-10s and only need one of those. So I have one extra 1GM-10 brand new in the crate, for sale. I am using the other 1GM-10 in a production M_23. I am selling only the extra 1GM-10. It comes with the deluxe panel and all the exhaust elbows etc. The Tranny is 2.62 to 1. (normal) and is set up for a one inch shaft. Email on the backside if your serious and interested. Future M_23s will have the 2YM-15. Thanks..! Bob Boat Builder
