Hi Doug, Here is an outboard mount for my trailer that I made for about $30. Here is the link to my facebook post describing the steps along with pictures. https://www.facebook.com/groups/1005054962848194/permalink/1356369671050053… Hope this helps.

Crjuiser Challange

Hi- My sailing buddy for the CC just emailed and is in the hospital in S CA. Does anyone living in the area (monterey) wish to sail with me? If you’re on this list I’ll assume that you are an experienced sailor but if you haven’t raced, it’s hard work! The race is this weekend.

Does anyone have some good photos of your outboard mount on your trailer. I want to carry my motor there so it can remain upright and easily accessed. Thanks.

Doug- look at the CC above. From: doug Sent: Sunday, July 22, 2018 3:38 PM To: jerry(a)jerrymontgomery.org Subject: Emailing to Montgomery group question Jerry… Sorry to bother you with this. I have somehow lost the email address to reach out to the Montgomery fleet with questions and responses. I need to know who owns the M-17 docked at Elk Lake, Bend, Oregon. I just saw this beauty last night and since I live in Oregon and just bought a 1980 M-15, I would like to meet the owner and maybe do some sailing on that lake together on our boats. So, please send me the email used by the fleet for basic back and forth on issues, questions, remarks, etc. And thanks so much again for designing such a little gem of a sailing yacht. I am loving mine and plan to move up to a M-17 in the future. Doug Michaels 1980 M-15 Bend, Oregon

Boom tent
by Jon Barber 14 Jul '18

14 Jul '18

My boom tent uses a stock gray tarp over the boom and three fiberglass tent poles salvaged from a defunct tent. The poles go thru the grommets front, back and center and bungees pull them down. They are attached to holes in the metal toe rail. The front edge can be attached to the shrouds for extra security and the tarp and poles can be stretch cord attached for and aft at boom and mast. My description may sound complicated but this goes together in minutes and is pretty secure. Roll to stow with bungees inside. Jon Barber Monty 17 Ol"44

Attached is a photo of SWEET PEA's. I've also used it on my M15 (actually made for my old M15 SCRED), and the Sage 17 and Sage 15 & SageCat (though short for the SageCat with her ling boom).
