Well, the reef lines are there...you must have just missed them. You'll see a yellow and red line going up from the base of the mast to the luff reef points...in fact...if you look at some of the sail shots....we are reefed in one or two of them. The rear reef point lines are yellow for the first and white with a blue tracer for the second. I don't as of yet have pre-run lines for the third reef, but will by this winter. As for the cunningham. Nope...the sail has one (grommit), but I as of yet have not run one back to the cockpit. My boom gooseneck is fixed....i.e. it cannot slide....so I can control luff tension with the halyard which is run back to the cockpit and on a winch. That's what I have been doing so far....but you are right , I should probably run the cunningham. What I like about using the halyard is that you don't get that ugly bulge of fabric under the cunningham cringle when you tighten it up. It takes up tension along the entire luff and results in a smooth entry the entire distance. So that's what I do to control luff tension, and draft position. What you don't see on this sail are nettles in the reef tie off points maybe that is what you were referring to. After tucking a reef, I have some webbing sail ties that I just reeve through and tie it off when it's convenient. You can see them tied off in the shot of the reefed sail as well. It's east to do, takes only a couple of seconds longer and I think, now that I am doing it this way, that it looks cleaner.

Bones, I should have mentioned that. Recently retired, I succumbed not to the 2+ foot move but a 2X jump: I have a Nonsuch 33. We plan to spend more time sailing, and in an enlightened moment I realized you can only sail one boat at a time. We still have a Flying Scot and 2 Sunfish, so this is more of a fleet reduction. I am sure that small boats will be a part of my life as long as I am able -- maybe now I can actually build one of those I have been admiring. Nick

My M-17 now has a new owner. I have been tinkering away on refurbishing it for 2-3 years and it hasn't been in the water, and I recently purchased another boat which will redirect sailing time. I wanted to send a note to the group to say I have enjoyed your company and I think this forum is a very positive reason to have an M-boat. Your discussions and advice were valuable on the projects I undertook, and the community of sailors is a real asset to Montgomery boats. I expect to check in from time to time, and I will definitely be on the lookout for you on the water. Fair breezes, Nick
