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

Cruising San Juans and Gulf Islands
by Jason Leckie 02 Aug '18

02 Aug '18

Just getting ready to do some cruising around the San Juans and Gulf Islands for the next couple of weeks and contemplating how much fuel to carry for my 6 hp four stroke engine. Not sure how much a little engine pushing a little boat (M17) would consume, if the winds are not agreeable. David Scobie, how much fuel do you usually carry on your travels?

Does anyone have links to photos (or information) of their mast raising equipment used to raise the mast by one person using the winches? I have a M17.

MSRP for 1974 M-17?
by John Schinnerer 31 Jul '18

31 Jul '18

Hi all, and maybe Jerry in particular... I'm curious if anyone here can authoritatively cite the "retail price" of an M-17, new from the maker, in 1974. Or at least the ballpark or mid-range cost, if there were a lot of options that affected the price. What got me curious was seeing some receipts from when my dad bought aluminum "cartop" boats back in 1966 & 1975, and an Evinrude outboard in 1969. The prices were surreal in modern terms - but in those days' dollars of course. cheers, John -- John Schinnerer - M.A., Whole Systems Design -------------------------------------------- - Eco-Living - Whole Systems Design Services People - Place - Learning - Integration john(a)eco-living.net - 510.982.1334 http://eco-living.net http://sociocracyconsulting.com

Mast raising.
by Lenny Corin 30 Jul '18

Hi, For mast raising I made a gin pole using a 2x4. It works great. I can provide photos of it and provide a description of how it works. When my M-17 was profiled in Good Old Boat back in March/April 2014 there’s a pic of me raising the mast using the gin pole. I use the boat trailer winch for raising and lowering the mast. I do use lines attached to the port and starboard toe rails for stability and attach a short line to the jib halyard for raising and lowering the mast. Cheers. Lenny Corin Sent from my iPad

Hi- My sailing buddy for the CC just emailed and is in the hospital in S CA. Does anyone living in the area (monterey) wish to sail with me? If you’re on this list I’ll assume that you are an experienced sailor but if you haven’t raced, it’s hard work! The race is this weekend.

Does anyone have some good photos of your outboard mount on your trailer. I want to carry my motor there so it can remain upright and easily accessed. Thanks.

Re: M_Boats: Emailing to Montgomery group question

Doug- look at the CC above. From: doug Sent: Sunday, July 22, 2018 3:38 PM To: jerry(a)jerrymontgomery.org Subject: Emailing to Montgomery group question Jerry… Sorry to bother you with this. I have somehow lost the email address to reach out to the Montgomery fleet with questions and responses. I need to know who owns the M-17 docked at Elk Lake, Bend, Oregon. I just saw this beauty last night and since I live in Oregon and just bought a 1980 M-15, I would like to meet the owner and maybe do some sailing on that lake together on our boats. So, please send me the email used by the fleet for basic back and forth on issues, questions, remarks, etc. And thanks so much again for designing such a little gem of a sailing yacht. I am loving mine and plan to move up to a M-17 in the future. Doug Michaels 1980 M-15 Bend, Oregon
