Hi Sal, Attached are a few pics of my bronze winch which I understand is no longer available. I recall someone saying it was from New Zealand. Idasailor was offering a replacement pawl for it a few years back and I bought one. Other M23s used a crank winch in the lazarette locker and fed a wire rope through turning blocks to the top of the CB. Good luck my friend, great to hear your M23 is getting some attention!

Sal On mine there is a small winch located on part of the moulded step assembly, on the right hand side as you enter the cabin.

I'm trying to finish my M23. I believe the centerboard is installed, but I don't know how the raising system is supposed to be. There is none on the boat. Can someone with an M23 take a picture of the centerboard raising system? sal

Sailing M17 along East Coast (for Richard E...)

Consider coming to the Chesapeake Bay! Ches Bay Maritime Museum has a nice Small Craft Festival (geared towards wood boats of course) which should be lots of fun. http://cbmm.org/events/annual-festivals-and-special-events/mid-atlantic-sma… > > Message: 1 > Date: Mon, 19 Sep 2016 13:23:31 -0500 > From: Richard Everett <1.064um(a)gmail.com> > To: montgomery_boats(a)mailman.xmission.com > Subject: M_Boats: Sailing an M17 in the Florida pan handle gulf area > Message-ID: > <CAAVL5qBGHfByhRAm84LNrzP8KN06Hwf2qJS_TyS3rUhxX+fpkg@mail. > gmail.com> > Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 > > Hi this is Rick and Debora (M17 #635 Eidolon).

Sailing an M17 in the Florida pan handle gulf area (Richard Everett)
by csmithsquared＠aol.com 20 Sep '16

Sounds like fun! Saint Joe Bay is gorgeous and a haven for fishing and scalloping. While I have never sailed my own M17 out of Presnell's, I have taken power boats out.The bay is rather shallow so the folks at Presnell's have dredged a narrow channel so the boat motors don't churn up mud. If memory serves me right, the bay is only 4-6 feet in many places. Plenty deep enough for an M17 but you might need to watch out for shifting sand bars and pay attention to the tides.

Hi all, Here's a few shots of Larry at the helm of his M15 - he says he's a newbie sailor but here's proof he can go wing and wing! cheers, John S. -- John Schinnerer - M.A., Whole Systems Design -------------------------------------------- - Eco-Living - Whole Systems Design Services People - Place - Learning - Integration john(a)eco-living.net - 510.982.1334 http://eco-living.net http://sociocracyconsulting.com

by John Schinnerer 19 Sep '16

Hi all, Saw an M15 heading south on highway 101 in the Del Norte Redwoods State park in way northern CA (just south of Crescent City) this weekend...was that anyone here on the list? A nice looking one, white hull, red stripe. Curious where you were sailing prior and where headed, if so. cheers, John S. -- John Schinnerer - M.A., Whole Systems Design -------------------------------------------- - Eco-Living - Whole Systems Design Services People - Place - Learning - Integration john(a)eco-living.net - 510.982.1334 http://eco-living.net http://sociocracyconsulting.com

Fern Ridge report
by John Schinnerer 19 Sep '16

19 Sep '16

Hi all, Thanks for the info on Fern Ridge reservoir (near Eugene, OR) from all who responded, and in particular Larry who did meet up with us there with his sweet little M15. He was there Sunday but I got there later than planned and only got launched and to my slip. Tuesday we were out sailing in the afternoon in brisk winds on a warm sunny day. It is a great sailing lake - probably the longest reaches without constant trimming that I've had with my boat since getting it about a year ago! Wednesday was calmer winds - glassy for a while early afternoon - and I got to use the "cruising" jib for only the second time. Richardson county park marina & campground is a very nice facility - friendly staff & clean modern everything for the most part. Sleeping on one's boat in a slip is cheaper than a campsite by $10+ a night with access to all the same amenities (including hot showers). Will post a few pics shortly... cheers, John S. -- John Schinnerer - M.A., Whole Systems Design -------------------------------------------- - Eco-Living - Whole Systems Design Services People - Place - Learning - Integration john(a)eco-living.net - 510.982.1334 http://eco-living.net http://sociocracyconsulting.com

It has been a long while since we posted on the list and we are no longer in the Pacific Northwest. We built a RV from scratch and are now full timing in it while pulling our M17. We have been on the road for four months and have sailed in Washington, Idaho, Montana, North Dakota, Wisconsin, Illinois and Tennessee. Eventually we want to sail in every state (maybe not Hawaii).

I am curious to know if any of you have sailed in that area (anywhere along the stretch from Pensacola to, say, Carrabelle). I would like to know how the sailing is in a M17 and also if you recommend any certain marina or preferably marina/rv park.
