New M15s
by George R. Iemmolo 22 Mar '13

22 Mar '13

I have just taken possession of what is titled as a "96" AM CLASSIC but looks like a Montgomery 15 (it was listed on the MSOG for sale site) it has the name American Classic on it. As this is after Jerry sold the company in 1995 this must be from a company he sold the molds to. I was wondering if all the specs and information on the MSOG site are valid for the boat I have. I could not find a company under that name, I know that in the boat business they come and go. I understand Montgomery Boats @ Dana Point is building them now. Any help would be appreciated as I get ready to rig her as soon as the snow melts. It appears that the forestay on this boat does not have a turnbuckle and I am concerned that I will not be able to adjust the rake on the mast. George M15 NoNameYet

Joe, What a great looking M17 you have...... As far as your search for a live-aboard, are you looking for a monohull sailboat, cat, motorsailer, or a powerboat? I have thought when I get old and lazy and need more protection, a small motorsailer may work. I like the lines of the English made Fisher 25.

Re: M_Boats: Mast sizes
by W David Scobie 19 Mar '13

19 Mar '13

the standard as built by Jerry is for the mast extrusion to be 19', with the masthead fitting making the overall length 19'2". there are different lengths for M15 masts ... some are short as a result of damage and Bob's masts are longer than Jerry's spec. i've attached, i hope it comes through, to this email a 'spec' for the M15 mast from 1985 (this comes from the msogphotosite.com) the current-build M15s are using the DM4. as Jerry states the DM3 will also work. a DM4 mast, with sail feed and masthead fitting, will cost you about $245 + shipping. the DM3 mast is a bit less expensive at about $200. the DM3 uses a smaller tabernacle than the DM4, so this will add another $25 ... making the total $225 + shipping. the DM3 is a nice alternative as it is lighter than the stock mast (less weight aloft), bends a bit more ('auto' reefing) and is smaller (less windage). remember, you may also need a pivot pin. then there is the need for a boom and gooseneck if you are missing 'the entire rig'. for mast shipping expect about $130 ... but this depends a lot on how far from Dwyer you live. :: Dave Scobie :: former M15 owner - www.freewebs.com - m15-named-scred :: M17 #375 SWEET PEA - www.m17-375.webs.com --- On Mon, 3/18/13, Chris Smith <chris.r.smith(a)gmail.com> wrote: > Hello all, > > I know that there has been some discussion on Mast length > (which I think > was settled around 18.5'), but I've got a question about the > widths.
