M-10 Sailing Rig Help Request
by Jon Freeman 16 Oct '08

16 Oct '08

Hi folks - I just picked up a M-10 that is nearly complete. The hull has been abused, but is very recoverable. The sail is a little dirty, but in good shape. I have the rudder, gaff, boom and dagger board. However, NO mast! I can probably design one, but would really like to make this as close to original as possible. Anybody happen to have the same gaff-rigged M-10 (to share pictures/dimensions), OR a design sketch? I pinged Jerry M., but no response yet. Thought I'd try the group. Here's a little more data: Hull number appears to be #271. Sail dimensions are (I hope close is good enough for now): Foot - 103" (about 6" curve downward from horizontal) Leech - 179" Luff - 59" Head 105" The hull has molded-in side seats, but no bow or stern seats. There are oarlocks. All in all, this should turn out to be a beautiful little dinghy with a little patchwork and paint/varnish. Any info you all might provide would be much appreciated! Thanks, Jon Freeman

HooWee!!! Would you believe 17 boats signed up already! And I'm still expecting to hear from several folks who mentioned interest throughout the past year. This could be the biggest Monty cruise ever! If you think you wouldn't like sailing with a group, well... then you've never done it. It's a blast. In fact, it makes sailing alone seem almost boring. (This from a former self-proclaimed "loner".) If you're just toying with the idea of joining us, you don't have to sign up now, but the better idea I have of the size of the group, the easier it will be to plan a suitable route. Plus, you get to voice your opinions on dates and destinations. Larry ____________________________________________________________ Win the battle of the bulge with great liposuction solutions.

"and friends, they may think its a MOVEMENT!" Arlo Guthrie I believe this ranks as a "flotilla"! Great turnout, I am looking forward to hearing about the trip. GO M-17 # 316a "LB/GF!"

I might come see you guys off again; it was really nice getting to see some of the boats and meet their crews in 2007. More boats, more fun! Bobbie

Hi Bobbie, Too bad, but then cruising to Alaska isn't so bad either. Someday I plan to sail up there. We'll keep our fingers crossed for next time.

I wish... but many circumstances are going to prevail against me this year. I'm being forced to go on an Alaskan cruise. Actually I may end up getting out of that due to other obligations. But no way can I go sailing. Maybe 2011 or so my sister will borrow the boat (if I still own it) and go on the trip.. she really wants to do it but she's also stuck on the family cruise. Bobbie
