Check valve drain for a Montgomery 15
by Jim Dahlquist 21 Nov '12

21 Nov '12

I am a new owner of a 1994 Montgomery 15 for about 4 months now. Right now I am trying to install a home made check valve in the cockpit drain to block water trying to enter due to wave action. This also requires a pvc pipe for the centerboard rope. I have some "G/flex 650" that I think should be ok. Any ideas on how to get the two parts mounted and fully wetted by the epoxy while keeping it from dripping excessively into the CB trunk will be appreciated. I tested the valve. It seems ok. I made it from concentric polycarbonate cylinders. Also, the seal and ball are removable or replaceable from the top as instaled. The checkvalve has an ID of 0.875 inches and could accept a rubber or cork plug. There are some project photos linked below. The present plan has a smaller rope pipe fitting than shown in the view 1. Thanks, Jim Dahlquist jim(a)dhlqst.com Palatine, IL 847-341-0086 https://dl.dropbox.com/u/28005645/CkVlv1Assy.JPG https://dl.dropbox.com/u/28005645/CkVlv2Hole.JPG https://dl.dropbox.com/u/28005645/CkVlv3Hole-PipeHole.JPG https://dl.dropbox.com/u/28005645/CheckValve01.jpg

Mainsail reefing
by Tim Erwin 06 Nov '12

06 Nov '12

Hello from the Texas Redneck Riviera I am new to the boat and new to the group. I have learned a great deal from the discussions and looking to learning more. After sailing my Alberg 30 for many years she became too much for me. I've done a great deal of research on smaller boats and the M15 won out , hands down. I am very fortunate I found one 3 hours from my home. I'm 64 and have MS but I'm going to keep on sailing and this boat is going to allow me to do that. Now for my question. My boat is a 2007 model. Looking around, standard equipment is mainsail reefing . There is no sign of any reefing equipment on the boom. There are two turning blocks and two cleats on the outboard end. They are for the topping lift and outhaul. No other equipment on the boom at all. The mainsail has grommets for double reef! Do you think this boat was delivered incomplete? Do you think the folks that made this boat gave a discount for taking less than standard equipment or stripped down? I'm confused at least. Can anyone help me figure this out. Thanks, Tim Erwin. M15 # 641 Dark Star, Rockport, Texas

Hurricane Sandy
by Conbert Benneck 30 Oct '12

30 Oct '12

Hi gang, The storm anchor held. We survived unscathed in Glastonbury; no downed trees; no power outage; just a lot more downed leaves and twigs lying around. The Long Island Sound shoreline areas were hit hard. high tide coinciding with storm surge raised flood waters to new levels. Our barometer started going up again about 2030 last night, and at 0800 today it is up to 997 mb. Thanks for the worries for our well-being. Now life goes back to normal, as Sandy dies slowly far inland. Connie & Katrina

That is why I like facebook for putting photos and videos on, much easier and people can look at them any time by clicking on photos and don't have to hunt for them. https://www.facebook.com/groups/330782353662726/
