HI Doug, Who will be gracing your Admiral's presence? I'm sure Rick and Frank are in....John is retired and ready, is Todd on the fence?

Oh, yeah! Can't you just picture 97 Montgomery's sailing in formation?! Speaking of cruises, the dates have been set for the 2009 San Juan cruise. We'll be launching on June 13th and cruising through the San Juan and Canadian Gulf Islands until the 27th. Larry Yake M17 #200 CornDog "In a power boat you get there faster.

Hi Doug, Well, 7 boats I did see. (our 6 Monty's and Annie's Slipper 17). Looks like I didn't miss anything after all. I thought maybe you and Larry Yake may be in competition to see how may boats you can form in a group to go adventure sailing. Good to hear a return trip to the North Channel is being planned for 2009. Later pal. Bones ____________________________________________________________ Hotel pics, info and virtual tours.

Doug, That's going to be a fine looking boat. Fast too, I guess. How tall with the mast be? Will you have a boom crutch and a tabernacle like the pocketship? As you know I have tanbark sails on my boat, my first boat with this color. One thing I really like about these sails is they are easy on the eyes in the bright sun. I can't wait to see the finished project. After seeing your drawing, I want a boat like that. Rick

Hi Harry, Thanks for the info on your M17's. I too have visited the North Channel with a fine group of Monty sailors in June, 2007. I am located in Mpls, Mn and slip my M23 "Dhana" on Lake Pepin. My M17 is in Duluth, Mn resting on her trailer awaiting the next adventure. (Isle Royale?). Bones ____________________________________________________________ Save $15 on Flowers and Gifts from FTD!

Hello Harry, Wow, two M17's of 1976 vintage. My '76 yellow M17 is hull #92. I know Larry Yakes '76 yellow M17 is hull #200. I think Jerry was very busy that year! What colors are your hulls?

Re: M_Boats: Full battens on main
by bownez＠juno.com 21 Dec '08

21 Dec '08

HI Gordon, I have a full batton at the top of my mainsail on both my M17 and M23. There have been no issues. I recall the top batton will "kiss" the back stay on the M17 but does not hang up like I have seen on other boats. My M23 sails were made by Sails East out of Chicago, my M17 sails were made by Western Sailcraft out of Jordan, Mn.

Full battens on main
by Gordon Gilbert 20 Dec '08

20 Dec '08

I plan to replace my mainsail this winter (original 1983 sail by McKibben), and I'm considering going with one or two full-length battens at the top. I've read that full battens will aid sail shape, limit flogging and ease handling. Are there any M-17 owners out there who've had any full battens in their mains? Did they enhance the sail's performance? Was there any problem with the battens catching on the backstay on tacks? I've talked with Harry Pattison at Elliott Pattison Sailmakers about this, and he cautioned me that full battens on an M-17 may catch on the backstay when tacking. I suggested that I send my old main, which doesn't hit the backstay, as I recall (fall sailing already seems like a long time ago), to help him avoid extending too much roach. Harry knows his stuff, so I'll definitely listen to his advice. I'd enjoy getting anyone's feedback on this as well, either pro or con. Thanks much and happy holidays!

phil: spam filters can be a pain ... don't know how to use the email programs/sites you quote. i did at one time use eudora, which was very nice as i could really control things and easily edit persons or ISPs that were blocked. yahoo's is OK .. but does have moments where i don't know 'what it is thinking'. for example. i just responded to a mboat listproc posting about hull numbers. yahoo blocked this email when the listproc 'sent' the email to my account. why? i don't know as i can't look at the filter details. add to this ... my first response to you wasn't filtered. i've told yahoo i am 'not spam' ... will see if i can now get email from myself. dave scobie M15 #288 - SCRED visit Scred's www-site: http://www.freewebs.com/m15-named-scred --- On Sat, 12/20/08, Phil & Frances <srelt(a)iclub.org> wrote: Dave, Thanks. I opened your mailist-archive and the 12th of Dec. is the last posting. In fact, that is the place where I have always read the comments. Therefore, something is blocking my pc from the list since the beginning of my membership. I am also including here a reply I made to Keith. Maybe it will allow you to help me figure out what is blocking that one forum. Other forums I am on come in fine. I had thought all this time that the problem was with the forum instead of my pc. I could uninstall the spyware, malware, etc. and see what happens. I use Firefox Google Chrome for a browser and Thunderbird for email on a Vista Home Premium OS. Phil Thanks Keith. I have gone over my firewall, anti-virus, spyware, malware, etc. So far no results. I use Google Chrome for my web browser and I cannot find the usual block spam filter. I am sure it is in there somewhere, but it must be really hidden. I had thought maybe it was my firewall since I had to reinstall it, but I told it to accept everything, every cookie, etc. on the program lists it shows. Still no results. Hmmmmmmmm. I wonder what would happen if I created a new account with Montgomery Boats. Think that would help?
