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

Montgomery 15 parts?
by Peter Zimowsky 03 Feb '19

03 Feb '19

Hi: The other day while heading to the reservoir to sail, a pin on my my rear mast crutch cracked. I’m having it welded back into place but it brought concerns about a 30 something year old boat. Metal is going to fatigue. Where do we get Monty 15 replacement parts? Thanks, Pete Winter Sky (Zimowsky) outdoors writer and photographer www.getoutdoorsnorthwest.com <http://www.getoutdoorsnorthwest.com/> Twitter: @zimosoutdoors "Be with Tahlequah" Tahlequah, you did this. From the day you lost your baby in the summer of 2018, then your 17-day tour of grief, you've brought the KEY crucial issues to the world to help us save your Orca family.

Anchoring stowage
by Peter Kick 01 Feb '19

01 Feb '19

Does anybody have any thoughts on foredeck anchor stowage and modification/ improvement for easy fast safe deployment? My M17 has only a 5 dollar nylon cleat that I can move with my hand ( having tightened everything thoroughly). This set up fails to reflect the boat’s intended use. And it makes me nervous!
