Centerboard winch
by Larry Yake 25 Jul '24

25 Jul '24

Has anyone come up with a good way to realign the centerboard winch on the older model M17's? I'm tired of fighting the pennant's tendency to overlap due to the incorrect mounting angle. It needs tilted up about 1/4" when measured at the lower edge of the winch. A shim of some sort would be the ticket, but I can't add too much thickness to the mount to keep the pennant straight below the winch. Larry M17 CornDog

M-15 boom storage

Oh, wise ones, I've heard the M-15's boom can be stored within the cabin, but I've never managed to get mine in there. If possible, what's the secret maneuverations required? If not possible, where and how do you secure your boom when towing for distance? John Tyner M-15 #412 "Chimpanzee"

Problems with new sail
by Jennifer Wood 24 Jun '24

24 Jun '24

Long story short, I asked for a sail cut to OEM size and shape, and they sent me one with a giant roach that hangs into my back stay. When I asked them to fix it, this is the sail maker's reply. Is this for real, or is it a brush-off? >not completely surprised the sail hits the backstay...It would go through on a tack and is normal. Fully understand the customers mindset. We could trim some of the roach off not too big a deal I can't see this working well in low winds, and bashing the sail into my rigging doesn't seem good for either. Given how thoughtfully the boat was designed, is this going to mess with balance and performance? Thanks for your thoughts. --Jen

WTB - Montgomery M10 or M12
by Stephen Parsons 14 May '24

I am looking for a Montgomery Dinghy, preferably with trailer and on the West Coast. If you have one that you want to sell, or know of one, please let me know. If there’s a great deal on a M15, I might also be interested in that. I did see the ad that Charlie mentioned yesterday, but Florida is a bit too far. Steve

Hi, I've recently sold my Montgomery and don't have any plans to purchase another sailboat. I think I'm going to get back to fishing instead. So could someone please look to remove me from the Montgomery distribution list. Thanks, Ron McNeil

Re: Centerboard winch
by John Schinnerer 27 Apr '24

I made a wedge, pics attached. Just wood flour thickened epoxy resin, poured in some round plastic tub or lid or similar tilted a few degrees off level. My main reason was so the $#%@#%! winch handle would clear the CB trunk - it's not a ratcheting winch (not on mine anyhow - #38, 1974), can only go around in one direction. It did also help with the angle of pennant to winch drum. cheers, John On 4/26/24 14:19, Larry Yake wrote: > Has anyone come up with a good way to realign the centerboard winch on the > older model M17's?
