Re: M_Boats: Running Rigging

For what it's worth, I gave up on the clam cleats, except on the jib halyard. My main halyard and all sheets now run through Harken cam cleats. (The sheets lead to tracks I installed atop the coaming, to accommodate the genoa. The cars carry cam cleats. I usually use these same tracks even for the working jib, which I in fact rarely use.) I first made the switch on the main halyard. Especially when single-handing, when I get the main up, especially in a good wind, I want the halyard to set immediately and without any question as to whether it's going to slip. And I got tired of seeing slack in my main and realizing that the halyard had slipped through the clam cleat. The clam cleats seemed to wear quite quickly, too. It's just easier to release halyard or sheet from a cam, and trimming is, well, a breeze. Steven Paint4Real(a)aol.com ************** Looking for a car that's sporty, fun and fits in your budget?

Running Rigging
by Phil & Frances 10 Aug '08

10 Aug '08

Paint4Real, Thanks for the info. Most of my lengths are about right but the diameters were way off. Sometimes they would slip in the jam/clam cletes. I could have guessed at the diameters, but it would have been a guess. Your information really did the trick. Phil

I forgot the main sheet. My M15 came with 27 feet, 3/8 inch. I really don't know if Montgomery supplies or specs these out, or if it's all dealer prep. Anyway, there's no magic number, save for the minimum, which is quite easy to sort out, if you just trace the path that the line has to take, with a little extra when everything's run out as far as it needs to at maximum. ************** Looking for a car that's sporty, fun and fits in your budget?

Refueling underway...
by Lou 09 Aug '08

09 Aug '08

I appreciate all the suggestions that I have received about fueling while underway and I just have one more question. When you re-fuel do you shut the engine down? I have always done so and of course that is even more of a problem than the re-fueling... Lou (Monty-15... Still The One)

ROLL CALL!!! August Channel Harbor/Ventura/Anacapa trip
by Nebwest2＠aol.com 09 Aug '08

09 Aug '08

Hey California Montys!!! Join us the end of this month for a Thurs thru Sunday Channel Islands Harbor(Oxnard)/ Ventura Harbor/ and Anacapa Island sail. We'll be arriving on Wed night at Channel Islands harbor to join Capt Howie and his Socal Potters (which includes numerous Montys) for four days of sailing and friendship. We've made this trip the last two years in a row and it was a blast. Good sailing breezes both times. Our plan, tentative to weather conditions of course, is to sail up to Ventura Harbor on Thursday and overnight at Ventura Isle Marina returning on Friday. Sat morning those that are only making it a one day event will arrive and join in for the annual trek out and back to Anacapa Island. We'll overnight Sat night in Channel Islands Harbor and then pull out and pack up on Sunday morning. This year the dates fall over Labor Day Weekend. Bring the spouse! Lots of time for hanging out at the docks, cooking out on the boats, maybe dinner at the Whale's Tail where you can sail right up to the docks and eat overlooking your beautiful boat....like a real "yachtie" hahaha. Channel Islands Harbor has been the most small boat friendly place we've been. Ventura is beautiful, although, not quite as easy on the pocket book. You will need to have liability insurance on your boat (300,000) in order to secure a slip up there, but you really should have that anyway and it's not too expensive. The sail from CIH to Ventura is an easy 7 miles up the coast. The Anacapa Island daysail is about 11 to 12 miles each way. Last year conditions were calm enough that some boats dropped anchor and had lunch out there before returning. We've always had pretty good conditions at Anacapa but we have been assured that it can get "sporting" on the trip home sometimes. Consider joining us and the Socal Potters. At last months San Diego "kickback Cruise" we had three Montys attend and we had a blast. So.....ROLL CALL!!!! Who's gonna join us????? **************Looking for a car that's sporty, fun and fits in your budget? Read reviews on AOL Autos.

New Tiller
by John and DesAnne Hippe 09 Aug '08

09 Aug '08

I also made a new tiller for my M-15. This was necessitated by another one of my "stupid boat tricks." A couple of winters ago I decided to refinish my tiller and rudder. The refinishing went very well and I was quite pleased with the results. When I went to reattach the hardware, however I had a bit of a problem getting one of the bolts to go through the tiller. Not being one to allow a simple matter of size get in the way, I decided to get my hammer and "tap" the bolt through. You can see it coming, of course, the bolt ripped out a significant portion of the bottom side of the tiller... Fortunately I had some oak flooring left over from a project so I ripped these to size and laminated them together. Since this was a custom project, I decided to add about 6 inches to the length which I have appreciated having as it allows me to sit a bit forward. This was a simple project that only took a few evenings to do. By the way, when attaching the hardware, I made sure the hammer was no where near... John Hippe M-15
