My new Sailor Tailors M15 cover
by Karen & Smiley 15 Sep '17

15 Sep '17

I have posted pictures on the Photo Site in the event the attached photo does not come through. I can say these guys know how to make a cover, I had to make a template and they did the rest. LOVE it and I think now that the heavy lifiting is done you can get my identical cover without doing a template of your own.

Varnishing set up for rudder
by Jon Barber 14 Sep '17

14 Sep '17

Just wanted to send this photo of my set up for varnishing my rudder. After pricing a unifoil rudder I decided to clean up the original mahogany stock rudder. Will plug screw holes top and bottom later. This allows the piece to rotate so you can reach both sides without touching anything. Happy Sailing!

Keep on a beach?
by Bruce Wulkan 12 Sep '17

12 Sep '17

Hello, I'm brand new to this forum, I really admire Montgomerys, and I'm wondering if an M15 could be kept on a beach that dries completely at low tide? Our waterfront home on Puget Sound has a great place to dock a boat, but only one that can sit on its hull when the tide goes out, which is twice daily? It's a very calm, protected inlet with no wave action. Would an M15 work in such a place? Thanks for your replies! Bruce W Sent from my iPhone

Lake Powell Video
by David Grah 23 Aug '17

23 Aug '17

Thanks, John. I'm probably not a good expert on Lake Powell, but have been there three times with the boat. I think two were in May and one was in June. The June one was good but hotter and less wind. This year we got on the lake the 13th and off the 20th, I think. I bet fall would be nice but I wonder if there would be much wind. Roughly the daily mileage was 12.5, 22.5, 18.5, 27.3, 0, 28.9, 39.7, 12.5.

How early/late in May were you there? Is that an optimum time of year? Fall maybe also, I assume. What kind of distance were your typical days? The tracks are great but I don't have any sense of distance. thanks, John S.

Recommendations for replacing my furling headsail M17
by Tyler Heerwagen 18 Aug '17

18 Aug '17

Headsail is dying, coming apart, forestay is bent and kinked.Thinking about getting a new headsail, ideally furling, maybe suited for single-handing, since that is my normal mode.Has anyone tried a headsail with a shorter J and or LP dimension, including maybe a higher Clew?Any recommendations?Thanks,Tyler H.M17 Seranita1977 #232
