Any of you skipper ever careen your M15 to refresh the bottom paint or wax the top sides? In the old days we used to do that with out islander 32 in Cat harbor Catalina. Now They want $1000 to haul out at the OS boat yard. No thank you Capt Jim Get Outlook for iOS<https://aka.ms/o0ukef>

Careening M15 - images
by David Grah 27 Aug '24

27 Aug '24

For several years what I think are photos embedded in messages to the group come through to me as pages and pages of gibberish and no images. The images used to appear but not for a long time. Usually, as in the case of this whole careening topic, I really wish I could see the photos! Would anyone care to post these careening photos somewhere else where I might be able to see them, say facebook or the Montgomery photo site?

Specs | Mast & Rigging
by Jim M 13 Aug '24

13 Aug '24

Hello from Maine, I've recently acquired Montgomery 17 (1985 Hull no. 397), photo attached. The boat needs a new rig. Can someone in the group share specs on the mast and rig for this boat? I welcome any and all thoughts and suggestions on this hull and rig from experienced Montgomery 17 owners. The boat is in good share overall, but it hasn't seen water in the last 20 years. Thank you, Jim
