Benneck Books
by David Grah 18 Mar '22

18 Mar '22

Hopefully others in this group have read Conbert (Connie on the group) Benneck's books on sailing. After way to long of a delay I finally read his first book and am well into the second. What a joy they are to read! I am certainly no literary authority but I know how much I have always appreciated Connie's posts here. His posts are always smart, insightful, and often with a dash of humor and often give the topic of discussion perspective. I find his books to be all of that and more. Connie is a great story teller and what stories to tell! Reading the books one can see Connie's is a life well lived and we are lucky he has shared a bit of it with us here and in his books (I got mine on Amazon). Right now I want to take my Montgomery 15 to Europe and run around for a while and try to relive the magic I read about in Connie's wonderful books. Check them out!

Pendant Override Success!
by John Taussig 10 Mar '22

10 Mar '22

Thanks for the suggestions - I did try to jack the board up just a little while the boat was on the trailer and it worked just enough for me to slowly loosen the override. Back in business! Back in the water 4/1! Planning on doing the first leg of R2AK once I figure out the easiest way to attach oars to Sick Chicken without drilling a lot of holes. My trip - Bellingham to Pt Townsend. Then the race from Pt Townsend to Victoria after removing my my 2 horsepower kicker from the boat. Finally Victoria back to Bellingham. Any suggestions on the rowing station - much appreciated!! Even looking at rigging a bow sprit and using a drifter but first - oars! John Sick Chicken 375 Sent from my iPad

Thanks! We carry a cheap inflatable boat as a dinghy which I used in Barkley and we often tow an inflatable paddle board we can also use for the purpose. ----------------------------- Date: Wed, 9 Mar 2022 21:54:33 +0000 From: Willy Gorrissen <gorrissen(a)hotmail.com> Subject: M_Boats: Re: A Montgomery Video To: For and about Montgomery Sailboats <montgomery_boats(a)mailman.xmission.com> Message-ID: <CO6PR14MB42583327B8C934E0B0D8FE30A50A9(a)CO6PR14MB4258.nam prd14.prod.outlook.com> Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Great video, reminds me why we sail. How did you get the remote shots of the boat? Did you have dingy?

Replacing centerboard pendant
by John Taussig 06 Mar '22

06 Mar '22

I have managed to generate a really tight line override on my centerboard winch on Sick Chicken - an M17. Occurred when pulling the boat for the winter. I am going to try to jack up the board on the trailer just a little to see if I can take any pressure off the line to help release it but wanted to know if anyone had any suggestions other than cutting it when out of the water and then replacing it when it’s fully down (on jack stands when I am doing the bottom). And any suggestions on replacing the line would be appreciated. Thanks! John Sick Chicken #375 Bellingham WA Sent from my iPhone

Diamond Lake was very pleasant to sail! I didn't make a video but did post a few images and videos on Facebook. I don't know if you are on Facebook or if this link would work, but the post is: https://www.facebook.com/michele.r.thomas/posts/10208983714987154 Date: Thu, 3 Mar 2022 14:45:51 -0800 From: Mark Dvorscak <mdvorscak56(a)gmail.com> Subject: M_Boats: Re: A Montgomery Video To: For and about Montgomery Sailboats <montgomery_boats(a)mailman.xmission.com> Message-ID: <CAA3iV0KgMF1UEkskxULzbL5d8LZgVMw5-dQ0h4C=M3ZksGEfbA(a)mail.gmail.com> Content-Type: text/plain; charset="UTF-8" Diamond lake is in my neighborhood but I've never sailed it. I'd be interested to hear about that one too, even if there was no video. Mark Dvorscak M23 M15 M10 Roseburg, Or

I'll start on the Princess Louisa one soon though it can take a while for me to complete a video. I admit it is nice to have encouragement! After Barkley Sound I took the ferry back over to the mainland and picked Michele up at the Vancouver airport. We left from there for Princess Louisa, so same trip. On the way home we stopped at Diamond Lake in Oregon for a sail which was also great.

Thanks for this David. Narration sounds fine. No worries! Can't wait to see the one you make for the Princess Louisa inlet trip. Did you do that after this while still up there, same trip? cheers, John
