Introduction (Corin)
by Thomas Buzzi 13 Jan '16

To whom it may concern, I have the old style Ida Rudder on my 17 and plan to sell it for their newer version. If a kickup rudder is all you want than that is what this is. It uses a line to raise the bottom half of the rudder, I use it to hold the rudder blade up just a bit when launching and retrieving the boat. Asking $250 plus shipping. I started with the stock wooden rudder and the shape of this Ida rudder really does seem to add to the performance of the boat. Pictures upon request.

GO, I'm with you pal. I never trailer with the rudder or motor attached. I have a home brew kick-up rudder (the Ida was not yet available) so I mount that before launch with the blade kicked up. The tiller needs to be locked mid-ship to keep the boat from biasing itself while launching. No problem.

Hi JohnI don't know of any. Still some work to do before I can get her on the water.Cheers GeoffCongratulations Geoff! Are there any other Montys in NZ that you know of? I sailed with a guy this past fall in the SF Bay whose brother (IIRC) was somewhere in NZ and wanted one but said there weren't any to be had. Unless you've got a relative in the SF Bay area who owns a Wharram Tiki 21...then maybe that's you...! cheers, John S. __________ Information from ESET NOD32 Antivirus, version of virus signature database 12859 (20160112) __________ The message was checked by ESET NOD32 Antivirus. http://www.eset.com

Notice - Registration closes at midnight Wednesday 1/13/2016 - get it in there if you are racing! forwarded from AzYC post : What do you want for your Birthday Regatta? You can’t have too many parties —there's going to be one at Spinnaker Point Friday night and another at Dillon’s at the marina Saturday night. There will be food and drink and live music. And you can bid on the gifts you’ve always wanted at the silent and live auctions Saturday night. There’s all that and racing, too, in 1-, 2-, and 3-day formats around marks and islands. Registration closes at midnight Wednesday. John Riddell reports that we'll be served BBQ by the new Dillon’s restaurant in the marina. BBQ is their specialty: pulled pork, bone-in chicken, and beef brisket, with sides of coleslaw, mac & cheese, and BBQ beans. They'll also prepare a veggie lasagna as a veggie option. The Cardinals game will be showing on all 11 televisions with Leukemia Cup auction at about halftime. Later: a band. The AYC Board and a lot of volunteers are working to make this year’s Birthday Regatta a great event. Celebrate your yacht club. Support the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society. Your Birthday Regatta only happens once a year, so sign up, show up, and, bottoms up. It’s going to be a blast! I look forward to seeing you there, Chris Smith, Commdore forwarded by GO

Strawanza

11 Jan '16

I am now the proud owner of a M17 hull # 646 Strawanza renamed Warowlua. I think I will name her Strawanza again. I towed her back yesterday and I have pulled everything out of the cabin to see what is there and what is missing. She has not been sailed for about 7 years now so the odd bit has fallen off ,lost or has been sold I am an ex Zimbawean and have been living in New Zealand for the last 14 years. My closest sailing water is New Plymouth and I've just join the New Plymouth Yacht Club. I built a 15ft plywood dinghy from which I learned to sail in protected harbor waters . So I'm still a novice but there is no shortage of advice her in New Zealand. .

Dinner schedule for WICR - Optional, but we are somewhat 'out-in-the-sticks' at the Lake! - Friday night is Burger Place (Wild Horse West -local info is dispensed by your truly and any other locals re. Lake, breezes and RC,launch ramps etc.) Saturday night dinner is at the Marina - new restaurant - BBQ (traditional) - Saturday night is party for Yacht Club, Leukemia Cup raffles,awards and auction. Yes you need to sign up for Saturday Dinner if you want to - That is the group plan at this time. Jerry M, Michael M, myself and crew will be having dinner at YC on Saturday - will post this to all others too. Last year on Sunday night everyone drove down the road to a Mexican restaurant and had dinner - lots of dining out - but it seems the only way to congregate out of the weather. There will be a 'Bar' in the parking lot on Friday night, Pancake Breakfast on Saturday morning (proceeds to Leukemia Cup). Folks - the latest weather forecast is for "cooler" than typical Phoenix weather - 60-65 degrees F. highs and 46 degree F. lows - mainly Sunny skies and to be honest, a 'bit' less breeze than I would prefer - forecast shows 4-8 knots during the racing part of the weekend. Did I say it will be SUNNY and no snow ! ! Call if you need additional info and when you arrive ! Motor Safe, GO 602 703-7245 - gilasailr AT A O L . com If you have NOT registered - Registration closes at midnight Wednesday evening - if you have registered please notify me by email so we know the full roster - Thanks ! this is copy of a note to another party and is being forwarded to the MSOG List.

That is sort of not true - maybe...but they encourage me to make a fool of. . . . . . Actually the Ran-Tan activities have been subduded as of Late - I hope it is not a sign of advanced calendar exposure - Or as Little Feat sez - 'when your mind makes a promise that your body can't fill' - Sub Dudes/Dudettes - I suggest we work on some Ran-Tan Activity - everyone here is a big boy/girl and we have a crew just in case. . . what say you ???

Hello Folks
by David Rifkind 09 Jan '16

09 Jan '16

My father-in-law is giving me his Montgomery 17, which has been out of the water for ten or twelve years. I’ve sailed but never owned a boat, so this should be interesting. There’s a bunch of refitting to do but it is mostly quite sound. I’m sure nearly everything I’lll want to know is in the list archives so I have some reading to do, but wanted to say hello. We are in Tucson; not a sailing mecca but within reach of Mexico and Southern Cal. and a few lakes. I learned to sail long ago around Oxnard and Ventura in California.
