Hey folks, Work & family obligations have kept me off the water for a good chunk of the summer.... I am now trying to make up for lost time... Just thought I would share a couple of pictures of Serenity docked for a quick coffee pick up at Ambleside midway through a day of sailing yesterday in English Bay... Jazzy - I still owe you a couple of close up pics of my anchor mount set up... I will grab a few shots when I am down at the slip in the next couple of days I hope everyone is out enjoying their wrinkle boats.... Keith *Keith R. Martin, P.Eng.* *Burnaby, B.C.

Is your bow chainplate a forged fitting? I would not recommend a cast fitting at this location. Have Fun - Go Sailing! GO In a message dated 8/19/2016 9:43:17 A.M. US Mountain Standard Time, griemmolo2(a)gmail.com writes: We have had some rain here lately so I am a little late with the pics

The naming of boats
by David Rifkind 14 Aug '16

14 Aug '16

I've become dissatisfied with the name I picked for my M17. This isn't a new problem. We've had a lot of dogs and it's sometimes been hard to find the right name, though we've always managed eventually. But it's preying on me. I never formally named her so I have no qualms about changing it. Not really looking for suggested names but maybe for ways to go about thinking of one.

Hi Rich. I think posting photos to this group is as easy as attaching them to the email you post to the group, but I may be wrong. I do know I am no longer able to access the links to images that appear in some messages and I have been unable to find out how to resolve that. I just get the message Not Found The requested URL /lurker/list/montgomery_boats.en.html/attachments/20160807/05ffc00c/attachment.jpe was not found on this server.

Oh, two of these on the back of the transom ..one for the brass thing and one for this one. On Aug 10, 2016 3:27 PM, wrote: Quartermaster. ...

Here's a pick inside... the brass deal is a 90 degree elbow, then a hose, double clamped and out what looks like the stock through hull... I like the setup. Was just wondering if you guys had a fancy flapper valve or something. ..

Again, done well, that is a good upgrade because bronze lasts forever in a marine environment and aluminum does not. I would be interested to see photos of what was used where the drain exits the hull, and what was used to connect it all up. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jazzy" <jazzydaze(a)gmail.com> To: "For and about Montgomery Sailboats" <montgomery_boats(a)mailman.xmis sion.com> Sent: Wednesday, August 10, 2016 2:37:48 PM Subject: M_Boats: Cockpit drain..

West Marine Go Anywhere Seat...

Forgot to tell you all I picked up one of these. Its a tad pricey but so far worth every penny...if you can't get comfy in the cockpit with your tired old back like mine, it's worth a try! It looks big in the store like it might not work, but it does. http://www.westmarine.com/buy/west-marine--go-anywhere-seat-2--10385656?rec… Jazz
