cover for M15
by David Grah 14 May '13

14 May '13

I liked the cover in Dave Scobie's photos but have to admit I am very happy with my $35 tarp and would probably take it over the cover in the photos. It fits pretty well, stays on in high winds, and covers most of the hull. Almost as good as a garage, if you ask me. Hopefully I have successfully attached a photo of it.

Rudder Craft rudder, two or three pintles.
by IdaSailor Marine 11 May '13

11 May '13

Hi, Just to be clear, the rudder craft rudders come with either two or three pintle set-ups, as your boat requires. We also build them with either size pintle on the lowest pintle, either 1/2" or 3/8" depending on how your Montgomery is equipped. We've built more than two hundred of these assemblies in various configurations, and we build them to fit an owner's particular boat exactly. We do not keep them on the shelf in any given configuration, but build them as they are ordered, to ensure a perfect fit. Thanks, -Joel -- Joel Santarone General Manager Rudder Craft www.ruddercraft.com 866-400-2204 toll free

cover for M15
by Daniel Rich 11 May '13

11 May '13

Montypals: I want a nice cover for my M15. So, I emailed the Sailor's Tailor, but they don't have a pattern for the M15. They would need to have the boat. Not possible, since they are in Ohio, and I am in California! (Well, I know Dan Phy could do it, but that is another story...) So, where can I go in the SF Bay Area to get a nice cover? I am tired of the $50 tarp I use. Daniel M15 Kestrel

Hi Daniel, When Momma aint happy, aint nobody happy! sal In a message dated 5/11/2013 8:56:26 A.M. Mountain Daylight Time, danielgrich(a)gmail.com writes: I am doing the same thing. Fits well, cheap, covers the whole boat, really easy to take on and off. But my wife thinks it is ugly! That is the problem. Since the boat sits in the driveway next to the house, I get grief over that.
