1) BBQ 2) m23 speed

Just curious what the preferred grill mount is for the m23 if you have the little round magma one. I see Dauntless had it drop out and down just a hair off the stern on starboard side. (Can see on you tube under dauntless) Can an m23 do 8 knots ... In shore costal on lake Minnetonka.... I just restored one but have never sailer her! I think according to Bones it will do about 6.5. Any other m23 owners have any thought to add here? Ps how many m23 owners are in Minnesota ... Are there more than two.?.? Fair and fresh winds to all of you.

Franken Batten Update #2
by Jazzy 28 Jul '16

28 Jul '16

Today brings a bit firmer winds, not sure how much. No white caps but 5he surface is disturbed and I'm showed 7.5 kts with current. Franken Batten is holding sure. In 5he pic, its the middle one. So far I'd have to give it a super cheap and fast fix thumbs up. As an aside, I spent about 5 minutes trimming the sails, then I locked the tiller tamer and sat on the bow for 23 minutes before I got bored. If you don't have one, really it's well worth the money.

Maybe if I were not old enough to be his grand-pa I would still have the strength and agility to do it myself, but aging takes a toll on all of us. We do it on the side, because if I paid the marina's fees it would be about 4X more expensive.

Sail
by George Iemmolo 24 Jul '16

24 Jul '16

Sailing today wind from the WSW blowing 12-19 k steady gusting 25 increased to 20-25 steady gusting 30. Was able to keep her on her feet with full Main centered on boat. Sailed to east end of lake Wing on Wing. Tacked back to Marina with wind on the nose. Wind shadow prevented any attempt to sail into slip, motored in. Took instrument board home to add Cell phone holder so use of sailing app SailDroid will be improved. Will also add gimballed cup holder ordered from Defender. .T Merry Helen II 96 M15 #602 George "We Can Not Control the Wind But We Can Adjust Our Sails"

Blustery sail today
by John Schinnerer 23 Jul '16

23 Jul '16

A quick report on how well behaved an M17 is, even in blustery gusty winds and lake chop with whitecaps, under main only with first reef in...that was the latter half of my sailing this afternoon, when the flukey southerly on Howard Prairie lake (southern Oregon) died away and then switched quickly to a strong gusty northerly (about 15 minutes from zero to whitecaps) while I was briefly anchored with northerly exposure. Darn near got blown aground trying to get outta there. But then Pajarita did amazingly well to windward under single reefed main only, moving along some even when I luffed her slightly in the wickedest gusts. And so well behaved - she would sail herself close-hauled safely to windward as I let go the tiller briefly twice (one to better secure the hastily retrieved anchor; one to better secure the jib on foredeck), luffing slightly but not stalling as (I assume) the windage on the bow quarter argued gently with the slight weather helm. The boat was relaxed...it was only me that was tense! 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

Broken batten experiment...
by Jazzy 22 Jul '16

22 Jul '16

So I found a broken batten... I've previously made a wooden batten that worked fine, a plexiglass/electrical tape wrap batten that also worked fine (on my snipe)...so now I'm trying a fiberglass fix for kicks on the Monty. I laid two layers of cloth and a heap of epoxy. I only plan on sanding any rough edges. I'll update! Any bets? Lol. I'm thinking it's 50/50. I def could have used more glass, but that would not have been sporting... The centerboard splashing fix is holding solid by the way. I dread changing the pennant one day though. Will require Drexel and a redo. But the clay like epoxy is super easy. Jazz
