Length Overall on Trailer
by Jeffrey Johnston 11 Jan '12

11 Jan '12

I am sure that trailers for the Monty 15 vary some in length, but does anyone know somewhat accurate overall length of their 15 on its trailer - tip of tongue to stern most end? I am starting my search for the right 15 but want to be certain that it will fit in my typical home garage. Many advance thanks! Fr. Jeff+

We are now the owners of a 1982 (#227) "Saffron" (yes she's yellow). Trailer and a 2.5 hp 2 cycle Mercury included. Hope to be sailing shortly. Just had bottom paint, added a spare tire and outboard motor mount to the trailer. -- August & Susan Trometer 5711 Longleaf Dr North Fort Myers, FL 239-849-4681 S/V "Adagio" - Nonsuch 22' 2010 Casita Liberty Deluxe, 2009 Jeep atrometer(a)gmail.com

A small one - three to one with cascade is plenty - Harken 40 mm blocks or equivalent are plenty search eBay (works for me) fiddle with becket at upper and fiddle with cam at lower (or vice versa), then add cascade with single at the bottom of the boom. Harken 26XX series works. Have Fun Go Sailing GO

I too have experienced a recurring leak in the joinng of the centerboard trunk with the cockpit mold on my M 15. It is a difficullt place to work and even the patches of fiberglass I've installed were hardly esthetically attractive but they did the trick. Any chop encountered resulted in leaking water into my two "dry stores" drawers I installed on either side of the trunk. Stan Carol II, M-15 #177

Gordon, Thanks for your support ! You may help or participate in a number of ways: Of course we would love to see you sailing in the desert in January - but that is a long and arduous drive from the Twin Cities and we understand that may not be possible. One may participate by sponsoring our 'Team WrinkleBoat' in efforts to raise funds with the help of the community (BTW -again, from the past efforts of community support - a huge 'THANK YOU' to all who have sponsored us in the past - thanks, it doesn't happen without your support). _Click here: Leukemia Cup Regatta - Desert Mountain States Chapter - Gary Oberbeck_ (https://dsm.dojiggy.com/pledge/index.cfm?585F220813637F7B7E0F01737B74151504…) You can sail at the nearest Leukemia Cup event in your region. You can participate through the Auction at the event (I will have a list of items ASA they are available) there have been some very exciting items -trips, artwork, useful gear etc in the past auctions. I am sure there are other means of assisting the Foundation - I will ask the local liaison for more information. Thank You for your support - the Montgomery Sailing Community has done a 'Bravo Zulu' job in helping out ! Thank You. Gary H.Oberbeck and Steve Witt Team WrinkleBoat
