Wow, lots of interest for Kestrel
by Daniel Rich 01 Sep '19

01 Sep '19

I just placed the add on Thursday night, and by early Friday morning a guy already wanted to come by to buy the boat. I couldn’t be available last night, but he is on his way with money right now. In the meantime there are like 7 other people interested in the boat too. These Monty’s are popular! I must have underpriced it, but it doesn’t matter. I hope the boat gets lots of use. Such a great boat. I am shedding a tear already… But I got lots of work done on my SCAMP today, so fair winds in the future. Daniel Kestrel #208

As you know, the M15 is a fabulous boat. Sails great, like a little BMW. I can wax on about how good the boat is. So, why a SCAMP? I sailed SCAMP #1 in Port Townsend about 5-6 years ago and fell in love with it. I really am a day sailor, and try as I might, my lovely wife just doesn?t like it as much as I do. So, I solo sail most of the time. The M15 is 1600 lbs with the trailer, which can be a handful in the driveway and at the launch. Even though rigging is straightforward, it is a sloop with lots of lines to deal with. The SCAMP is basically a dinghy with a dry ride. High freeboard, lots of buoyancy, and easy to launch and retrieve are all reasons that I want the boat. It is ?beachable" too. Yet it has great manners for a boat so small. The water ballast and offset heavy centerboard all help with that. Add a lug rig that is unstayed, and the boat is just much simpler to set up and maintain. So, that is where I am going with this. I will miss my M15 for sure, since it is just a great sailboat.

I purchased a fiberglass Scamp for some of the same reasons Daniel decided to build his. I think the Scamp will work out very well for me but I am having a hard time parting with my M-17. Even today I got some pictures together to put in an ad and when looking at the pictures I just can't quite put it up for sale yet. I guess time will tell what I decide to do with the Monty.

If you can keep two, why not? The M17 will be great in a blow. I just did not have room or time, and my sailing is really day sailing, so the SCAMP should meet my needs so well. Just gotta finish her!!

Kind of a tall order but I will hold off selling anything until I see where we end up. Nice thing about trailer boats if you have room at home they don't cost you anything but registration and insurance. Post some pictures of the Scamp when you finish it.

Add for Kestrel
by Robert Becker 30 Aug '19

30 Aug '19

I just heard that Kestral is for sale. I am the previous owner, and had her from 6/30/94, until I sold her to Dan in 2011(?), due to health considerations. She is a really good boat. I sailed her in San Francisco Bay and occasionally in Monterey Bay, and whatever dumb thing I did, she always came through for me. Fun to sail, great single-handed sail, safe and dependable. Don’t be concerned about her age, she still has many more years in her, and the price is a real bargain. Yes, I really miss sailing her, but she gave me wonderful memories. Give her another good home. Bob Becker

Centerboard line attachment, Montgomery 15
by Steve Pidcoe 27 Aug '19

27 Aug '19

Hello, I have a 2002 Montgomery 15. Has anyone had to replace the line to their centerboard? I thought this would be easy, but I don't see how to get to it. A squirrel chewed through the line at deck level. The boat was on the trailer so the centerboard did not drop. There is a wood step in the way across the hatch entrance with a hole where the line ran through. I don't see any easy way to remove this either. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Steve
