life lines
by flickasf＠aol.com 25 Nov '09

25 Nov '09

I have a M `15 and installed a stern pulpit and life lines. I like them for the following reasons: 1. My boom tent gives me more head room. 2. They stop my jib from going over the side. 3. When over nighting, I have plenty of drying space. 4. Can attach weather cloths so that I can take a solar shower. 5. The stern rail has prevented me from falling over board once. Bert Zephyr

M15 Transom ladder
by Ken Wheeler 25 Nov '09

25 Nov '09

I am going to add a transom ladder to my older (#128) M15. I have used and like the ladders sold on the Potter site. I installed a 4 step on my M17 but I'm not sure whether I need a four step or three step for the M15. It looks like most M15 ladders are mounted pretty low on the transom. Does that mean that a three step ladder works or should I go with the more expensive four step ladder. I guess Windline has a three step but no four step. Anyone care to comment? There is a $40 difference in price between the three and four step ladders. Ken from California M15 # 128

Bert, Can you tell me from where you acquired the stern pulpit? -----Original Message----- From: montgomery_boats-bounces(a)mailman.xmission.com [mailto:montgomery_boats-bounces@mailman.xmission.com] On Behalf Of flickasf(a)aol.com Sent: Wednesday, November 25, 2009 5:38 AM To: montgomery_boats(a)mailman.xmission.com Subject: M_Boats: life lines I have a M `15 and installed a stern pulpit and life lines.

Re: M_Boats: North Channel

Dear Eldor, Chad, Gordon, John, and all M-Boaters from the 2007 cruise, I would like to plan a North Channel trip for June of 2011. I think we should launch from Little Current or Spanish Harbor. I have plans to sail Vermillion in Minnesota a few times for summer trailer plans in 2010, as well as servicing my swing keel. This is a long way off but it never hurts to start thinking about it. Food for thought. Thanks, Bones in Mpls ____________________________________________________________ Wholesale Hardwood Floors Never pay retail again.

Sailing Lake Pleasant, AZ
by Doug Kelch 24 Nov '09

24 Nov '09

Well I finally got "Seas the Day" out on Lake Pleasant, AZ on Saturday and today. Light variable winds with at least one gust both days in the 15 kt range. A very pleasant couple of days. The Lake Pleasant Sailing club is having an overnight on the lake this coming weekend so I think I will do that as well. Who else sails Montgomery boats on Lake Pleasant? This sure is a looonnnng way from the North Channel :-) Doug Kelch "Seas the Day" M15 #310 G

Sorry for the delay....Shirts are done and the hats are going to be doe this week , they promised. We ran into a snag from the shirt supplier. When we went to order the Long Sleeve T-s the ash gray color was no longer available. We had to go with a darker gray for those. If anyone is decides that they just cant live with the darker gray color you can let me know and we'll work it out. I held out for a week trying to get the ash color but it wasn't to be. All the other items are in the ash gray color. I'll be emailing you all offline as we ship everything. Thanks for your patience.

Doug, I used to sail there six days a week, a change of scenery is welcome although I may move the boat up there again after the fist of the year. Lake Pleasant can be a very pretty place - Say Hello to John Bagwell from the LPSC if he is there this weekend - a good guy. Gary O. In a message dated 11/23/2009 6:49:01 P.M.

Hey Monty Sailors This is something we definitely want to do but we are committed all of the summer of 10. We are taking a 56 day R.V. caravan thru the Canadian Maritime Provinces and we won't be taking the boat as much as we hate to neglect her that long. Would you consider delaying this until the summer of 2011 or doing another then. Eldor and Dorothy M17 Motu iti
