Boarding Ladder
by George Iemmolo 04 Apr '18

04 Apr '18

Wrinkle Boat Mates I am looking to mount a boarding ladder as soon as the weather cooperates, presently 40 deg. in NWI 50 mi. E of Chicago. Would like some feed back as to which type and any ideas on mounting same. Looking at where I would have to get to indicates either mounting a hatch on the starboard side of the cockpit stern to get to the mounting screws or borrowing my great grand daughter (6 yr.) to clime into the starboard locker and hold the nuts. I have spoken to my grandson and he is o.k. with that😎 George "We Can Not Control the Wind But We Can Adjust Our Sails"

$14,400. Lyle Hess Wrinkle NorSea 27 project
by Bob Eeg 31 Mar '18

31 Mar '18

For someone who loves ❤️ a NorSea 27 I have this project NorSea on a like new (under 200 miles) Galvanized, 3 axle trailer with brakes and new electric winch. Spare included. New these trailers are $11,000+ I think this trailer is worth $7000. I re gelcoated the entire hull, deck, nonskid above the waterline. Replaced all the teak caprails with new teak. She comes with a used mast. A Yanmar 2GM 20 in a basket, cleaned and ready to assemble. Had 59 hours on it. I think I have the gasket set. Easy to assemble. Have a bunch of stuff for this 1979 Bote. She needs work down below but not that difficult. She has the heavy 3000 pound ballast already. New bowsprit with anchor platform and new stainless bow pulpit. She was a factory complete boat. Bote with extras $7400 Newish trailer $7000 Total $14,400. Contact me via email on the backside. I don’t want to clutter this forum. Or call me 949-307-5699 Cell. Viva Lyle C Hess.

Thanks, Bob and others, for these helpful replies. (I should also pass on a particular thanks to Dave Scobie, the man who knows everything, for patient assistance by email ever since he made the mistake of being kind to a curious thirtysomething at the 2016 Annapolis Show and, fatally, handing over a poster that made wrinkleboats sink deep into the wrinkles of my brain.) I'll proceed with caution using the tips you've mentioned, and have now heard off list that at least one owner of a boat that presented this particular challenge was able to remove overlying characters without damaging the cove stripe at all, but am glad to know of this useful product to replace the original colored tape, or even to change the whole look of the boat if so desired. Hope to get some Eastern Montgomery gatherings together before long; Brad and I will use our strategic location in the Keystone state to be the keystone of our greater union. And now to try out one of those nifty sailor signatures for the first time... -Will Coleman M15 #669 "Aino" > Date: Tue, 27 Mar 2018 19:04:58 +0000 > From: Bob Eeg <montgomeryboats(a)hotmail.com> > To: For and about Montgomery Sailboats > <montgomery_boats(a)mailman.xmission.com> > Subject: Re: M_Boats: Success! > Message-ID: > <CY4PR17MB197501AB815F6F491F59FD21B7AC0(a)CY4PR17MB1975.namprd > 17.prod.outlook.com> > > Content-Type: text/plain; charset="utf-8" > > BOB here.....:-) > > We use Boat Striping Tape (vinyl) from West Marine, both Seafit and West > Marine brand.

Bottom paint
by Thomas Buzzi 27 Mar '18

Small boat skippers, Is applying bottom paint necessary after sealing the hull with Inta....2000? I am keeping the Monty 17 in a fresh water lake this year. Tom B. Monty 17, "AS-IS"

Success!
by William Coleman 27 Mar '18

27 Mar '18

I wrote to the list two weeks ago in a last ditch effort to find an M15 a reasonable distance from Philadelphia after all other methods failed. With thanks to all the friendly folks who replied on and off list with potential East Coast boats and helpful advice, I have now concluded the purchase from a list member of #669, a pristine 2012 model that will be re-christened "Aino" after a character in Finnish mythology. Hooray! After some dry land rigging practice, I'm looking forward to daysails on the Delaware River, meetups with the one other PA M15 person I've found so far, Brad K of #656, at Lake Nockamixon, building up to some multi-day cruises on the Upper Chesapeake and beyond. If there are any other wrinkleboaters around, do get in touch and we can form a li'l fleet. While I'm writing, maybe someone on the list will have some pertinent experience for a looming question: the best way to remove vinyl characters (both reg numbers and previous boat name) that have been applied directly to the blue vinyl top stripe this recent Nor'Sea model came with from the factory to its previous owner? I'm hoping the characters directly on the gelcoat on the stern will be easier but am concerned about damaging the attractive stripe in the process of updating the boat's identity. Has anyone had success with this already before I start experimenting? Thanks, Will

Hi Tom, I would recommend it. Consider bottom paint "sacrificial " so all the nasty stuff will not stick to your hull. I would lean toward one of the new eco-water based green products from Interlux or Pettit. Such products were not available when I did my hull in Micron CSC 15+ years ago.
