How about 4 strong friends? :) of course, they may not stay friends long if you asked this too often.

Bob, Sorry to hit this on the list, but I didn't have your address in any of my correspondence. I can not get to the second page of your M23 area. Not sure if it is my computer, or if you have a broken link. Steve

Tod, What it looks like we are going to do is have a John Deere tractor lift the boat while we quickly paint the parts we haven't already painted. This sounds really scary but all the marinas are busy now and won't lift it and our garage is too full to fit the boat. I like your idea for the future, but we'll give the tractor a try. Friday's the day to do this, so I hope I have a boat left Saturday.

I am wondering if anyone has ever built a boat cradle for an M-15 to do work on the hull and , if so, what the specs were on it. I need to do bottom paint and would rather not have to pay a marina to lift it. Cherri M-15 #322 Cherri's Jubilee

New Sails for 15" Montgomery
by Shirley Fleming 09 Apr '02

09 Apr '02

I'm the owner of a "91 15' Montgomery that I bought new from Jerry Montgomery near Sacramento. I am now in the process of having to get new sails. Could anyone please answer the following questions: 1.Can you tell me the dimensions and sq ft of the mainsail and jib sail that came in 1991 or comes now as standard equipment on a new 15' Montgomery? 2. Can you tell me the jib sail size as expressed as a percentage, i.e., 100% or 80%, that came in 1991 or comes now as standard equipment on a new 15' Montgomery? 3. Can you explain and advise me on the following: the specifications for the 1991 and current new 15' Montgomery list the sq ft of sail areas as 122, yet when a sailmaker measured the actual sails that came with the boat, the sq ft comes to 102 (mainsail 62 sq ft and jib 40 sq ft). Sure appreciate any info you could give me on this, because I have a meeting with the sailmaker on Apr 15. In advance, thanks for your help. Harvey (Mike) and Shirley --

Re: M_boats: Raise/Lower Sail

Hi Steve: You do make life complicated. On my M15, the jib halyard leads to the cockpit. The main halyard is on the mast. So is my topping lift. I lie at a marina where my bow is pointed at the prevailing wind. The drill is: raise the jib, standing in the cockpit; and let the sheets fly free. Raise the main; standing on deck at the mast - main sheet is free. Release the topping lift. Push out of my marina slot,and turn LEPPO 90 degrees - heading north: which now puts me on a broad reach. Jump aboard; drop the center board; tighten the jib and main sheets and off I go on a broad reach......... Pretty as you please. After sailing for a few hours I have the luxury of having a marina berth that points into the prevailing wind. I can approach my berth on a broad reach; then turn 90 degrees; let everything fly, and arrive at my dock space without a bang - if I time it correctly. At that point I casually step on the finger pier; grab the shroud of the M15 and stop the boat. Then I fasten spring lines: bow and stern lines: and start tidying up the boat. Getting "bonked" by the boom doesn't happen. When the boat is in it's slip, it is head to wind - i.e., the boom isn't going anywhere. The main is flaked down with a bungee cord on the boom: the topping lift is tightened so that the boom is raised: the sail cover is put on the main; the main sheet is tied off so that the boom can't swing back and forth; I gather up my cooling container/ radio/ and clothing and depart. Raising the main while standing on the foredeck shouldn't be a problem, unless you are trying to do it in 30 knot winds. If that is the case, then it's better to head for a bar and tell sailor's stories, than to be out sailing.

Hi: I just returned from the Montgomery factory in Ontario, CA and talked with the new owner Bob Eeg and Jerry Montgomery. Then placed an order for a new M23. The plant is small there were two Nor'seas being built and about five each of M15 & 17's plus a M23 in a mold. The shop was very full with that work load. They also have some outside space for storage etc. There were only a few workers on site. I checked the BBB they didn't have a current address or any negative reports. The quality of the boats being put together looked very good. I don't have any hard evidence one way or the other. They do have some other ties with Nor'sea purchasing material and parts, I think to get discounts on larger purchasing power. I will have hard evidence in about 90 days. I was pleased that they accept payment on a percentage of completion plan which helps reduce everyone's risk. Fred (aka: derf sails(a)aol.com)

considering the M17...request for info
by Jeffco923＠aol.com 09 Apr '02

Hi, I'm glad to see that there is an active group of Montgomery owners here. We have been searching for the perfect(for us) boat for sometime. The M-17 meets most of our criteria and we're getting very close to placing an order when I stumbled on to a bunch of "stuff" on the net that suggested that the builder had some financial and credibility issues. If any of you have recent experience with the builder and can give me some info I would appreciate it. Also, I'm interested in knowing how easy(or difficult) it is for one person to raise the mast on the 17. I live in Portland Or. and will be using the boat on lakes, rivers and on Puget Sound. If there are any active Montgomery sailers in the Portland area I would love to hear from you. Thanks
