Yeah, the original formulation left something to be desired but the 'natural teak' Cetol has given me a very nice finish. The clear gloss topcoat has also produced a lot of compliments. It may indeed be time to give it a try. It certainly holds up much better, with less effort than varnish. Mark bownez(a)juno.com wrote: >Tom, Rick and Mark, > >Thank you much for your replies.

Tom, Rick and Mark, Thank you much for your replies. I will be going the heat gun/scraper route, and yes, be careful because wood DOES scorch easily! The M23 rudder is in the sun all summer. I have been doing the bottom paint on the portion that sits in the water with the rudder raised. I normally use varnish on brightwork that can be removed from the boat (dropboards, rudder, tiller, etc.) But the attached teak (grabrails, trim) get Penofin oil. I used Cetol years ago as an experiment on my M6.8. I did not like the muddy, dull look. However, some boating friends are using Cetol's updated product on their Island Packets and it does look much better. I think it is a "Light" formulation? It may be time to try it again, it does seem to hold up better than varnish.

Heat gun and scraper is the best method I've found, Bones. I didn't apply varnish to anything that I stripped though. I've been very happy with Cetol (Natural Teak)on all my brightwork. The rudder gets bottom paint below the waterline and Cetol above. If you like the gloss of varnish Cetol has a clear gloss top coat too. I tried that last winter and it turned out very nice. But, if you're a varnish lover, you'll probably stick with the varnish! To each his own. :) Happy maintenance to you.

Hi Gang, Well, time has come to re-varnish the M23 rudder (again) and thought I'd ask the collective group about the best methods to strip the old crased varnish. I seem to recall Don Casey suggests a heat gun and a putty style knife. Has anyone had good luck with chemical liquid stripping compounds? Here come the winter boat projects. Thank you.

US Mountain Standard Time Subj: Arizona Yacht Club Fall Race Series Hi Gary, I'm the Racing Fleet Captain at Arizona Yacht Club. I'd like to invite you and other Montgomery 17 sailors to participate in our Fall Race Series. It is 5 weekends running from October 5 to December 8. The "full series" includes sailing both Saturday and Sunday, while the "Saturday Only" option is of course only the one day per weekend. We have one Montgomery 17 singed up already, I would really like to see a fleet of 5 boats or more. I'll attach our Notice of Race for your consideration, please forward it to other Montgomery 17 sailors who might be interested. We had a great Montgomery 17 representation at our last Birthday Regatta, so I hope there is interest. For those who would like to sign up ( or learn more), go to the AYC web site: http://arizonayachtclub.org/racing/ Enter the Lake Pleasant "Sign up now" and make an entry for the Non Spin Fleet. If we get four more boats entered we will create a separate Montgomery 17 fleet and you will all sail together with your own start. Best Regards, Greg Woodcock Racing Fleet Captain Arizona Yacht Club

Another M17 Gets A New Owner
by swwheatley＠comcast.net 08 Nov '13

08 Nov '13

Hello from Massachusetts. I'm down-sizing from a 1979 Cape Dory 28 and just acquired a 1976 M17 (hull no. 215).. I've had my eye on M17s for a while but they're rare as hen's teeth in New England. This one came on the market just as I was closing on the Cape Dory so I grabbed it. No motor, original Trail-Rite is pretty sketchy, but the boat itself is in decent shape for its age. Lots of questions, but won't launch until next spring so there will be plenty of time for that.
