A great sail
by Rick Davies 02 Nov '14

02 Nov '14

Sailed a two-boat, 8-10 mile race on the Potomac yesterday against an AMF 2100 that usually (that would be almost always) beats me, but we were sailing in a sustained 15 kts, gusting to around 25. The AMF was struggling, while we forged ahead under a single-reefed main and a partially rolled genoa. I'm always blown away at how easily the M17 sails under those conditions, even in the short, steep chop the river throws up in a breeze. Just puts her shoulder into it and keeps moving ahead. We made a steady 4 to 5 kts to windward and around 6 downwind. The competition was barely in sight astern as we crossed the finish line. Just wanted to share. I've had the boat for 7 years, and she never ceases to amaze me. Rick M17 #633 Lynne L

Would you like to 'win' a Montgomery 7-11 sailing dinghy in a raffle???
by GILASAILR＠aol.com 02 Nov '14

02 Nov '14

It WAS a rumor - now it is substantiated! - A Montgomery 7-11 Sailing dinghy is to be raffled for 'pennies' at the 2015 WICR event - 'faux legalese' qualifying criteria to be met: 24 - changed to- 20 boats registered in WICR FLEET and on the line for at least one race at the 2015 WrinkleBoat Intergalactic Championship Regatta & Ran-Tan. Total number of raffle tickets limited to the number of participating boats -$1. per (if someone would like to pony-up for an additional donation to theLeukemia/Lymphoma Society - PLEASE do.) A ONE in 20 CHANCE! All the proceeds will go to the LLS in the name of the WrinkleBoat Fleet. (If you would like to support Leukemia/Lymphoma Society please sail one of the Leukemia Cup Regattas or check our WrinkleBoat fundraising page.) Additional details as the scenario gets complicated by some 'JD types' or accountants - the boat goes off to raffle when there are 20 or more registered and sailing - let's hope it stays 'simple'. Let's show our support for the Leukemia/Lymphoma Society We have been the largest fleet in past regattas - this is hoping to put us over the top - Small boats and a BIG fleet! This year there were 12 boats in our fleet - bring a friend and win a boat- - ANOTHER WrinkleBoat for YOUR fleet! Montgomery 7-11 sailing dinghy complete with rig,sail, daggerboard and rudder/tiller - used condition, as-is where-is at time of raffle. If you register in the next 20 minutes you will get 2! - just pay additional postage and handling charges...... Have Fun, Come Sail in January in the 2015 WICR & R-T GO

Winter is almost here - Will you be sailing in January??? Join your fellow WrinkleBoaters at the 2015 WrinkleBoat Intergalactic Championship Regatta. Montgomery and Sage sailboats - WrinkleBoats. There will be two fleets this year - Corinthian and Grand Prix if registration permits. Scoring is done using D-PN (Portsmouth) ratings- 15's, 17's, 23's and all manner of modified sizes* - as long as it was a WrinkleBoat when 'born'! This is fun racing and sailing with a triangle course format - Sunday's race will be an 'Out & Back' event of approximately 10 miles +/- (It sounds much more official than it is!) See the web page here for additional info - _http://www.wrinkleboat.webs.com_ (http://www.wrinkleboat.webs.com/) If we have 20 boats 'on the line' for at least one race of the weekend - one of the participants can win a Montgomery 7-11 sailing dinghy (used) for 1$ per chance (raffle proceeds benefiting the Leukemia/Lymphoma Society). Come to Phoenix in January 2015, the weekend of 16th-18th for some sailing, racing and a vacation from that COLD weather. Camping/Slips at the venue - Hotels nearby. This is the 4th annual running of the event in conjunction with the Arizona Yacht Club Birthday Regatta and Leukemia Cup - sail in the desert in the middle of winter and support a good cause to boot. The AzYC provides great support and puts on some great meals and parties for the Ran-Tan side of things. Additional details to come - watch this and the 'wrinkleboat.webs.com' spaces. WrinkleBoaters from far and wide are making this an annual regatta - the goal is to have fun SAILING! * - the Portsmouth ratings seem to be working well - we have a couple of M-15's that are capable of winning the 'whole enchilada' sailing against a varied group of boats - don't think you will be competitive? If you stay home you sure ain' gonna win OR have this kind of Winter Sailing Fun!! Have Fun, Come Sailing! ! GO M-17t sail # 354

Henry, You may want to keep your rudder for 'deep water use' - the sails will make great 'motorcycle covers' depending on how much life they have in them ! {;>). Seriously - I would hold on to the rudder. LOOKS GREAT - glad you got out before the season end - pretty. Glad you like the boat. Gary H.O In a message dated 10/21/2014 9:15:45 A.M.

How Do You Spell Tragedy?

I joined a friend at a seafood restaurant this evening in Pasadena, MD. As I walked up to the restaurant, I noticed a Monty 17, unfortunately, it wasn't on a trailer. I immediately looked for the VIN to confirm. I'm sad to report that one of Jerry's works of art is now a lawn ornament!! I won't be eating there anymore!! Skip Campion M-15 #201 1982 M-5.8 Dink

Re: M_Boats: Montgomery 15 Visits Baja (Long)

Thanks, George. Probably done for the season here too. Although days are around 75, it's a lot colder at the local lakes. The extension came with the boat. Essentially it is a piece of square tubing about 5 or 6 feet long with a hitch ball at one end. The tubing is the right dimension to go into the hitch receiver on the truck and has a horizontal hole drilled just like the normal hitch. To use it, I unhook the trailer, pull the truck forward, take out the normal hitch and replace it with the extension, secure the extension with the pin, re-hook the trailer using the ball on the extension, and put the boat in the water. It works fine although the extension accentuates the pitching movement of the truck which normal a trailer extension wouldn't do. If you want more information or photos, let me know. ________________________________ From: George R.

"(our trailer actually doesn't have an extension so we use a trailer hitch extension instead)." Can you please describe your solution so that I might take advantage of it next season, I am in the Mid West Valparaiso, IN 50 mi. from Chicago the boat is in the driveway ready to go in the garage today frost is forecasted for tonight:-( George Merry Helen II 96 M15 #602 -----Original Message----- From: montgomery_boats [mailto:montgomery_boats-bounces@mailman.xmission.com] On Behalf Of David Grah via montgomery_boats Sent: Friday, October 17, 2014 9:21 PM To: For and About Montgomery Sailboats Subject: M_Boats: Montgomery 15 Visits Baja (Long)
