I have two of them Jazz, they have an internal frame to keep p them locked in place.,. I have also seen some lighter ones for backpacking that simply use straps to keep them at a 90 degree angle. All good......

I've been through hundreds of locks in Holland, Belgium, and France, but this one is the strangest one I have ever seen. Go to GOOGLE -> YouTube -> "Falkirk Wheel, Central Scotland" Watch the YouTube video and enjoy a wild ride. Connie

US Mountain Standard Time, stevetrapp(a)Q.com writes: the old mariner's superstition that re-naming a boat brings bad luck, I rename my boat whenever I get a good name - bad luck be damned. Has not been an issue to date. 'No Quarter' , 'OhhhBoy!' , 'Looks Bad / Goes Fine', 'Tiny Purple Fishes' have all been in rotation. Obviously not one for superstition. GO

Hi Bones, Interesting that you are selling your M23. Good luck. I'm sure she will find a new owner. We just began finishing our 2011 M23 this summer. Lots to do. More than we originally thought. You are one of the few that watched the entire saga. We probably won't be doing the traveling with her as originally intended but we'd like to get her finished. We also find ourselves sailing the S17 more and will probably travel with her. sal

Re: M_Boats: Cockpit drain..

Hi, anchored in Quartermaster Harbor. Vashon Island, WA. Gorgeous day and a good place to study some work junk. 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@mailman. xmission.com> Sent: Wednesday, August 10, 2016 2:37:48 PM Subject: M_Boats: Cockpit drain..

Pleased to hear pictures worked. How are you able to see them? I can't. It's great to hear from you, Bob! We probably would have never crossed paths if it wasn't for Chuck McCoy. Where are you, Chuck?? Bones. Pictures were taken on Lake Don Pedro. they were taken in August 2006. I belonged to the local sailing club and a member with a Catalina 25 and an avid photographer asked if we could sail together so he could take pictures of Really. We departed Fleming Meadows Marina at 10 am and sailed east to Moccasin Point Marina for lunch and back again. It was 6 pm when we parted. He took a ton of pictures. They can be blown up to unbelievable clarity. Try zooming in. I've never been able to post them because my previous computers couldn't handle the volume. I just purchased a new HP Spectre Computer and when I logged in my pictures showed up in the cloud.
