Bow pulpit. My boat did not come with a bow pulpit. Is there any resource for getting one made or used.

Puget Sound cruising fleet
by Rusty Knorr 27 Jan '19

27 Jan '19

So Steve....about that....😇 I heard that the Montgomery owners group is not really doing owners group cruises in Puget Sound any more. Is that because the group has been more or less rolled up into the Potter Yachters? I really want to do as many group sails as possible, I think it’s so much more fun sailing with a group, and I’m hoping to see a lot of Montys on the water. I’m signed up for the Salish 100, and will do the Palooza Crooza, but I’m hoping for more group sails throughout the summer. Maybe we need to resurrect the owners group cruise? Looking forward to this summer!

Welcome back! I’m on Whidbey with my M-17, Orli. Is there any interest in folks in and around Puget Sound setting up an email list? I’d love to be in contact with M-15 and M-17 sailors. Lenny Corin, Orli. Sent from my iPad

New Owner - M17 Poppy
by Les Schuldt 06 Dec '18

06 Dec '18

Hello Montysians, I was fortunate enough to snap up Mitch Carnes “Grace” (now renamed “Poppy” for my granddaughter). Briefly owned by Craig Smith, she is the boat featured in Craig’s M15-M17 comparison video, (Youtube ibcontent). I only had a chance to sail her a few times before the weather turned cool here in Reno, but I’m hoping to join a few others for a week at Lake Havasu, then on to the Lake Pleasant Messabout. I’ve sailed, raced, lived aboard, and restored wooden and fiberglass boats for the last 30 years on S.F. Bay. As a long-time fan of Lyle Hess designs, I think the Montgomery is going to be the perfect boat for my new home in the Sierras. I’ve already blocked off a month next summer to spend aboard exploring Lake Tahoe. Looking forward to meeting you all, Les & Ingrid Schuldt Reno, Nevada

Tender
by Rusty Knorr 06 Dec '18

06 Dec '18

Just curious what the M-15 sailors here are using for a tender. In Puget Sound your really need one because anchorages are rugged and rocky and beaching is a challenge or impossible. Please share your thoughts, experiences, opinions, etc. M-17’s need not apply! (Unless you also have an M-15. 😜) Rusty www.rustyknorr.weebly.com

Roller
by doug 30 Nov '18

30 Nov '18

What have you used for beaching a M15? What type of roller or cushion to protect from small rocks in the shallow water when beaching. I see West Marine has a roller but its inflatable and I don’t see that working. Actually theirs is for the beach sand. This one has to sink and stay on the bottom so the boat rolls up over it as it moves towards the shore in shallow water, less than one foot. Thanks. I was wondering about PVC, like 4” PVC but it seems that it would have to be covered in something so the boat would not slide off of it as it rolled forward. Maybe a carpeted 4”x4’ PVC tube would work. Got any ideas.

Doug, Sorry for the sarcasm there. There are trees around the lake - people from other parts of the country call them 'large shrubs', there are also sunken remains of some gnarly tough trees that eat anchors on occasion! There are also saguaro cactus, creosote, and other beautiful plants!You will be fine anchoring out and kayaking to shore if we don't have a nice sandy beach.I hope to have a 7-11 'going' by then that could serve as a shuttle dinghy for those that do not have adequate back-up. I may even sail the little bugger!Take a look at the photos in the link below for Lake Pleasant - they are for 'advertising means' typically showing conditions at 'high water' - we may expect good water levels based on data that will a bit lower than those shown, but should be good. https://www. maricopacountyparks.net/lake- pleasant-regional-park-lp/ We will have a good idea as to the exact location in January or even late December. A quality location shoreside is our goal! Keep the questions coming - if we don't have the answer.....we will make one up! {;>) GO -----Original Message----- From: doug <doug9326(a)gmail.com> To: Gary Oberbeck <gilasailr(a)aol.com>; For and about Montgomery Sailboats <montgomery_boats(a)mailman.xmission.com> Sent: Thu, Nov 29, 2018 9:04 am Subject: Re: M_Boats: Lake Pleasant AZ Winter Messabout ( replacing WrinkleBoat Ran Tan for 2019) That would be helpful. Or just say, ‘there are no trees to anchor to’. That works. I just want my boat to be safe with those rocks around. I use an inflatable kayak as my dinghy and can anchor out a bit and still get to shore without swimming.

Camping on the shore with room for tents and RVs but no water or electricity. Non-primitive camping available about 5 miles away and hotels/Motels are about 12 miles away. Scorpion Bay Marina and Pleasant Harbor Marina are about 3 miles away by water. Group campfires at night.Brats on the Beach (no sandy beaches at Lake Pleasant)Bragging rights for event winners! Lots of on the water activities in a protected area with: - possible 8 mile RAID event with remote desert camping - possible 5 or 10 mile long distance race(s) following same general course as the RAID but finish is back at the start. - rowing/paddling events - exploring events - just messing about. - "Itinerary" to follow. Location is dependent on water level, but is likely to be in a deep narrow creek with little swing room so large boats need to be aware (unless they have a dinghy?) Best if the bow of your boat can be pulled up on a gravelly shore with stern anchor (deep water little scope) or pull the boat on shore.
