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

Keith Diehl's Passing
by Randy Graves 24 Sep '20

24 Sep '20

Friends, Many of you may recall Keith Diehl. Keith started the M-List; I believe it was as far back as the mid-1990's. Keith's wife emailed to let me know he passed away in late July. Keith had been battling cancer. And as a result of the cancer treatment had developed a life-threatening condition. I had never met Keith, but we kept in-touch through the years and more so as he became ill. Some of you may have known him better than me and could possibly offer further information or reflection on his involvement with the M-Community. One thing his wife Karen shared with me was how much the M-Community meant to Keith; "Good People" she said. I agree! Randy Graves M17, CdA Idaho

Please extend our condolences to his wife. Keith had been maintaining the Montgomery list for years after he stopped sailing. His selfless maintenance of the list should be a lesson to all of us. The last time I spoke with him was when he was seeking someone to take over the list. I recommended Dave as I thought he had all of the right stuff to carry on Keith's selfless act. salngailSage Marine In a message dated 9/22/2020 7:37:12 PM Mountain Standard Time, rkgraves(a)gmail.com writes: Friends, Many of you may recall Keith Diehl.

Hi Randy, Thank you for sharing that info on Keith. I had never met him, but I'm certainly grateful for how he pulled information and us M-boaters into the fabulous group we had become. Live every day to the fullest.

If you have something like a Woodworkers Source, they'd have teak lumber and be willing to cut and plane it for you. That would be the expensive approach, if you really want it and can't find anything else. I was just in the middle of making a set out of birch plywood when I changed course and switched to HDPE plastic. Stained and coated with Epifanes, the plywood does not look bad. But it wouldn't fool anybody.

Stern Rail for M 17
by Tim Brown 03 Sep '20

03 Sep '20

I want to install a stern rail om my M 17. Railmakers, who did the pulpits for the M's, is here in Costa Mesa and were getting ready to send one off to an M 15 owner. They let me size that one to my M 17. I have attached a couple of photos. The M 15 stern rail seems to be shy about 8" from being the correct width for the M 17. My question is this....does anyone know the exact specifications of the cockpit of the M 17 (specifically that area where the stern rail would mount) ? Railmakers does not have that info for the M 17. Thank you.... Tim Brown Hull #254
