Heat gun and scraper is the best method I've found, Bones. I didn't apply varnish to anything that I stripped though. I've been very happy with Cetol (Natural Teak)on all my brightwork. The rudder gets bottom paint below the waterline and Cetol above. If you like the gloss of varnish Cetol has a clear gloss top coat too. I tried that last winter and it turned out very nice. But, if you're a varnish lover, you'll probably stick with the varnish! To each his own. :) Happy maintenance to you.

Hi Gang, Well, time has come to re-varnish the M23 rudder (again) and thought I'd ask the collective group about the best methods to strip the old crased varnish. I seem to recall Don Casey suggests a heat gun and a putty style knife. Has anyone had good luck with chemical liquid stripping compounds? Here come the winter boat projects. Thank you.

Another M17 Gets A New Owner
by swwheatley＠comcast.net 08 Nov '13

08 Nov '13

Hello from Massachusetts. I'm down-sizing from a 1979 Cape Dory 28 and just acquired a 1976 M17 (hull no. 215).. I've had my eye on M17s for a while but they're rare as hen's teeth in New England. This one came on the market just as I was closing on the Cape Dory so I grabbed it. No motor, original Trail-Rite is pretty sketchy, but the boat itself is in decent shape for its age. Lots of questions, but won't launch until next spring so there will be plenty of time for that.

M12 Remove Centerboard
by jaredprindle 06 Nov '13

06 Nov '13

I'm looking to drop my centerboard on my M12. Since I'm at work and away from the boat, I thought I'd ask here and see if anyone has done it before. I'm wondering if there's some pin like the M15 but instead of being on the keel stub, could it be located on the CB trunk? Any ideas and suggestions are welcomed. Thanks Jared

Re: M_Boats: depth for launching
by bownez＠juno.com 03 Nov '13

Hi Gang, Fenders under the water is about right. Ramp angle and steepness has a lot to do with it. I calculate roughly looking at a launch site that 17 feet from the shoreline the water level next to the dock needs to be 4 feet deep. At that point my truck tires are in about 6 inches of water. I have the Trailrite stock trailer. 1976 M17 #92.

Good Old Boat article
by Ferdinand Johns 03 Nov '13

03 Nov '13

Hello, Good Old Boat magazine is planning a review of the Montgomery 17. We will be contacting owners of M-17s to collect comments about their experience with the boat. In addition, we need to find at least one owner in the Seattle/Bellingham area willing to sail his or her boat for a photo shoot under way, as well as allow us to come aboard for a brief sail and photography session that will preferably include a ramp launch and recovery. If possible, we’d also like to photograph boats from each primary era (three berth/galley w/cast iron centerboard, three and 3/4 berth Jerry Montgomery model w/lead & f.g. centerboard, etc., as well as examples of the more recent Nor'sea/Montgomery Boats models). Test sails and photo shoots will be scheduled between mid-August and late September 2013, as mutually convenient. If you are willing to participate in our owner survey, please reply by email to oldferdj(a)yahoo.com. If you have a boat in the Seattle/ Bellingham area that you are willing to provide for a photo shoot and test sail, please include a bit of information about the boat and your phone number in the email. Thanks in advance for your help. Best, Ferd Johns for Good Old Boat 360/240-1343

depth for launching
by Tom Jenkins 03 Nov '13

03 Nov '13

Out here in the west we are having some water level issues at launching ramps. Just wondering if anyone has measured the depth over the axle necessary to float a 21st century Montgomery 17 with a stock Pacific trailer. I hate to drive several hundred miles to find she won't float. Someone told me that 4' is a rough figure, but I have always been too busy at the ramp to confirm this number. Thanks much.
