Transom Ladder, Bob Becker and Daniel Rich.
by Lawrence Winiarski 28 Aug '16

28 Aug '16

I've been working on my M15 and I wanted to put in a transom ladder. I did a little research andthought I'd use the ladder that's for the potter 15 sold by International Marine. Boy was that a mistake.Apparently IM is out of business and they've lost all integrity. Anyway they sent me a standard 3 step fold over platform ladder while doing everything possible to mislead me into thinking it was their custom transomladder (which was nice) at custom prices. He was being evasive enough, I didn't want to buyit without a picture, but he shipped it anyway and billed me after it was already in the mail. I naively trustedhim and paid for it without a picture and now I see it was a confidence game to con me into paying for something I obviously didn't want and could have easily purchased on my own without the 300% markup....Good grief. Anyway, while I dispute the charges, I find myself back into the ladder market. I saw on thehttps://msogphotosite.com/Scripts/StoryTechnical/storytechnicaldetail.ph… (Or you can see it by looking at "M15 Mount and Ladder Installation" at the msogphotosite) A nice ladder writeup by a "Robert Becker". Apparently he may have sold his boat to Daniel Rich. in his writeup, he gives a part number for a "westline" ladder R-1185.....anyway, I don't know ofa westline, but was it "windline"? Does Mr Rich or Mr Becker know what type of ladder he has/had and where to get it and coulddouble check the make and model for me? Having a lot of fun with the M15. I put in a nice lithium lifepo4 100ah battery up front (only 30 lbs)and depthfinder. Yet to do are the ah meter, solar panel and lights. Incidentally saw a nice light setup here from Marinebeam. Basically it's an LED that can eitherbe a white anchor light, or a 3 color masthead light. So you only need 1 fixture instead of 2. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4R92WLV88cQ

Hyde way 2 is, as we speak, on her way to the San Francisco Bay Area. Specifically, to Forestville CA. We plan to sail her on the lakes, maybe the Bay, and do a trip or two up the Delta.

M23

Hi Bones, Good luck on your boat. I'm sure some happy sailor will get her. There's quite a bit of work to do on our boat still, besides rigging, sails. We're having to do a lot of work on the interior as well. We just finished the new boomkin. (The original surprisingly delaminated), We're extending the bunk, wiring, stove mounting, potti location, etc. We're working on her in between building boats. I'm sure the Sage crew will do a much better quality job. I hope we get her finished and I get to sail her before I'm too old. I'll send you pics when she's finished. sal

Jazzy....love seeing those action photos of sailing in Puget Sound. Good stuff. Please note the Potter Yachters (a great group of folks) are having a Pacific Northwest Mess-a-bout cruise that has the option of launching in Olympia and Ending at Port Townsend in time for the Wooden Boat Festival. September 9, 10 and 11 is the Date for the Wooden Boat Festival. There are other launching options besides Olympia as well. There ARE Montgomery Boats in this Group and I know of several from outside Washington that are driving up for this Group Cruise. Lots of fun every year. Make new Friends.... Click this Potter Yachter link below. Yes. We won the Cruiser Challenge in Monterey Bay July 22 and 23.! Dan Phy and Dave Bacon (2 man crew) won both Races. !! In Dan's M 15 named SIX. Both Sage 15s showed up. Jerry's SageCat 15 dismasted before the Start and the Sage 15 Sloop came in second in both races. It was WINDY. A full report with photos and other information is at this LINK. http://potter-yachters.org/members/2016_08.pdf August Potter Yachter Newsletter^^^^^ Uncle Stan and Bernard won First in the large class. In Jerry's Sage 17. There were no M 17s at Monterey this year......second place by a Minute was a Marshal 18 Catboat. That boat was surprisingly fast. Bob 949-489-8227

My crack crew, Henry and Peter. Henry is an old salt. He knows were going sailing way before we leave the house. He knows the drains have to be clear and makes a check before we go. Peter...well...let's just say Peter is the FNG. Puppy rail beef. Fairly useless but willing to learn when he's awake. Jazz
