Strawanza
by G & P Otterson 12 Jan '16

12 Jan '16

I am now the proud owner of a M17 hull # 646 Strawanza renamed Warowlua. I think I will name her Strawanza again. I towed her back yesterday and I have pulled everything out of the cabin to see what is there and what is missing. She has not been sailed for about 7 years now so the odd bit has fallen off ,lost or has been sold I am an ex Zimbawean and have been living in New Zealand for the last 14 years. My closest sailing water is New Plymouth and I've just join the New Plymouth Yacht Club. I built a 15ft plywood dinghy from which I learned to sail in protected harbor waters . So I'm still a novice but there is no shortage of advice her in New Zealand. .

Dinner Arrangements for WICR - optional of course!
by GILASAILR＠aol.com 11 Jan '16

11 Jan '16

Dinner schedule for WICR - Optional, but we are somewhat 'out-in-the-sticks' at the Lake! - Friday night is Burger Place (Wild Horse West -local info is dispensed by your truly and any other locals re. Lake, breezes and RC,launch ramps etc.) Saturday night dinner is at the Marina - new restaurant - BBQ (traditional) - Saturday night is party for Yacht Club, Leukemia Cup raffles,awards and auction. Yes you need to sign up for Saturday Dinner if you want to - That is the group plan at this time. Jerry M, Michael M, myself and crew will be having dinner at YC on Saturday - will post this to all others too. Last year on Sunday night everyone drove down the road to a Mexican restaurant and had dinner - lots of dining out - but it seems the only way to congregate out of the weather. There will be a 'Bar' in the parking lot on Friday night, Pancake Breakfast on Saturday morning (proceeds to Leukemia Cup). Folks - the latest weather forecast is for "cooler" than typical Phoenix weather - 60-65 degrees F. highs and 46 degree F. lows - mainly Sunny skies and to be honest, a 'bit' less breeze than I would prefer - forecast shows 4-8 knots during the racing part of the weekend. Did I say it will be SUNNY and no snow ! ! Call if you need additional info and when you arrive ! Motor Safe, GO 602 703-7245 - gilasailr AT A O L . com If you have NOT registered - Registration closes at midnight Wednesday evening - if you have registered please notify me by email so we know the full roster - Thanks ! this is copy of a note to another party and is being forwarded to the MSOG List.

That is sort of not true - maybe...but they encourage me to make a fool of. . . . . . Actually the Ran-Tan activities have been subduded as of Late - I hope it is not a sign of advanced calendar exposure - Or as Little Feat sez - 'when your mind makes a promise that your body can't fill' - Sub Dudes/Dudettes - I suggest we work on some Ran-Tan Activity - everyone here is a big boy/girl and we have a crew just in case. . . what say you ???

Hello Folks
by David Rifkind 10 Jan '16

10 Jan '16

My father-in-law is giving me his Montgomery 17, which has been out of the water for ten or twelve years. I’ve sailed but never owned a boat, so this should be interesting. There’s a bunch of refitting to do but it is mostly quite sound. I’m sure nearly everything I’lll want to know is in the list archives so I have some reading to do, but wanted to say hello. We are in Tucson; not a sailing mecca but within reach of Mexico and Southern Cal. and a few lakes. I learned to sail long ago around Oxnard and Ventura in California.

Hi Jazzy, I'm on Whidbey and I know of another M-17 sailor (Betsy) over across the Great Divide in Port Townsend. Enjoy your M-17. If you find yourself in the area, stop on by. My 17 is currently resting by the side of my garage. I'll probably have it in the Oak Harbor Marina for a month this summer. Do check out the Wooden Boat Festival and Pocket Yacht Palooza in PT. Good opportunity to meet other small boat enthusiasts and pepper Dave Scobie with questions and receive his sage (!) advise.

Hi John Sailed as far as Vanuatu then shipped to New Zealand. 6200 miles 100days The trailer was bought in New Zealand - Aakron. I think the frame is made in NZ and parts from China.

Companionway hatch boards
by Thomas Buzzi 05 Jan '16

05 Jan '16

While shopping for hatch board material I visited Hardwood Lumber Company in Houston, Tx. On sale was a wood called "sipo" also known as "utile". Turns out that sipo is a type of mahogany imported from central Africa. It is characteristically very much like mahoganys from around the world and is actually classified as a type of mahogany. It is also called utile. It was half the price of "regular mahogany" being 5.50 a board foot as opposed to $11 for mahogany. Both are used in boat building and look very similar. Sipo is also used in flooring and fine furniture so it is tough enough for hatchboards as well as hatches themselves. It works well with power and hand tools also. I have no affiliation with this outlet but this is a new product for me and perhaps it would work out for someone else doing winter projects on their boat. For $65 I was able to purchase one totally knot free board which is 14 inches wide and 9 feet long so all my hatch boards will be clear of knots, will all match, of course and should last a long time with proper protection from UV. Happy dithering.
