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

Seems like responding directly to Jed rather than the whole group might be more appropriate in this case. www.rustyknorr.weebly.com > On Mar 18, 2020, at 11:00 AM, montgomery_boats-request(a)mailman.xmission.com wrote: > > Send montgomery_boats mailing list submissions to > montgomery_boats(a)mailman.xmission.com > > To subscribe or unsubscribe via the World Wide Web, visit > https://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/montgomery_boats > > or, via email, send a message with subject or body 'help' to > montgomery_boats-request(a)mailman.xmission.com > > You can reach the person managing the list at > montgomery_boats-owner(a)mailman.xmission.com > > When replying, please edit your Subject line so it is more specific > than "Re: Contents of montgomery_boats digest..." > > > Today's Topics: > > 1.

Trying to find a home for my dad's sailing gear
by Capn Jack Rackham 18 Mar '20

18 Mar '20

Hi all, My name is Jed and the reason I'm here is my father used to have a Montgomery 17. Through a series of unfortunate events, he let possession of his girl slip away. While I fear the hull and mast are likely gone for good, he kept a BUNCH of sails, the tiller, mainsail/boom, most of his records, whisker pole and other ephemera in his home. I'm sadden to say he passed away late last year and I am left to settle his estate. I refuse to discard all this gear without trying to find a useful home for it. You, fellow sailors, are my first step in trying to figure out what to do next with this equipment. If this isn't allowed here, please accept my apologies. Hoping to at least get some advice on where to go next. Thanks so much, peace, and fair winds to all.

jib sheet diameter, material, and construction
by Rob Bultman 07 Mar '20

07 Mar '20

I need to add a missing jib sheet. The existing one looks to be 7/16" diameter. Casey (This Old Boat) recommends polyester double braid for sheets ("Period."). A sail-rite document ( https://www.sailrite.com/PDF/Rope%20Selection%20Recommendations.pdf) has a table of recommended diameters, and it looks like 5/16" would work for my M17. Does that sound reasonable? Thanks, Rob First Time Sailboat Owner

Thetford 135 portipotti from Montgomery 15
by Home 05 Mar '20

05 Mar '20

Thetford 135 a spare from my Monty 15 , the base is 13.5 by 11.5 inches and willing to part for it for a reasonable offer PLUS shipping. So here is the story it was purchased when I learned that these would be gone and discontinued, this one is not new used one or twice or three times when I did not know which one to use in my boat for the season but its been garage stored since 2013 so if interested let me know if NOT its going to be used when I dry camp in my RV (yet to be purchased). I can send pictures so let me know and I would say it looks like a +9 in condition. Smiley ex Monty 15 # 616 Karen & Smiley Magoo252(a)comcast.net <mailto:Magoo252@comcast.net>
