Looking for the owner of the Montgomery 17 on Lake Dillon...
by David Hall 23 Nov '15

23 Nov '15

Hello: I’m in the market for a Montgomery 17 (I’ve been sailing a 1980 Catalina 22 for over 20 years, and am looking to “upgrade” to a slightly smaller--and newer--boat), and I happened to see information on your site about a Montgomery for sale on Lake Dillon, dated Sept. of this year. Can anyone tell me how to contact the owner to see if the boat is still for sale? By the way, my Catalina is for sale, so that I can fit the smaller Montgomery in my barn. Thanks in advance for any help you can offer. I’m looking forward to learning more about these beautiful boats. Sent from Windows Mail

Increasing Boat Collection

All, I just picked up another Lyle Hess boat. This time it's an 8' Fatty Knees complete with sailing rig. We're well into fall here in the Northeast, so I'll have to store my new toy for the winter. Then I'll spend the early spring sprucing her up. She' s a bit large to tow behind my M-15, so I plan to use her in the local tributaries of the Chesapeake Bay to putt around with my 7 yr old son.

Sealing Sliding Hatch on Montgomery 15
by David Grah 20 Nov '15

20 Nov '15

Hello Montgomery Group! When we have the opportunity to sail our Montgomery 15 in larger waves that occasionally get up on deck, we find that water gets under the sliding hatch and into the cabin. This summer I found that towing the boat on the highway in rain has the same result, water getting into the cabin. This isn't a big problem but sometimes even a little water where you don't want it can be a nuisance (wet blankets and sheets for example). I wonder if anyone has improved this situation with some sort of seal attached to the hatch. For instance, I could imaging a strip of mylar attached to the hatch covering the gap between the hatch and the deck could cut down on water getting in to the cabin but also realize it could gum up the easy sliding of the hatch. Does anyone have successes, failures, or insights to share on this topic? Thanks! David GrahBishop California

Bill, Thank you for taking the time to explain the windward sheeting cars assembly. The traveler on an M23 is much longer than the stock traveler on the cockpit floor of the M17. GO offers a good point about whether it is worth the effort to install one on that boat. However, sailors that have seem to love them. Of course, GO being the excellent sailor he is, has unconventional ways of outfitting his custom two toned M17, like putting windows in the boom and using his boomvang as a mainsheet.
