Hi all! I am a newbie to sailing and this group but an oldie on the water (mostly canoes, kayak). I have been interested in sailing for a long time and went to sailing school last year. Think I need a refresher course :) I am looking for a Montgomery 15, somewhat late model (I want the boat to outlast me). Condition matters most but I don't really want an older boat. I seek a well cared for boat that has only been sailed in fresh water. Safety is very important to me, such as the bearings on the trailer being maintained regularly when the trailer is used. I am petite and don't have much upper body strength. Singlehanded stepping the mast easily and singlehanded sailing the boat is a priority. My budget is modest because I haven't really sailed much, so don't want to invest a lot in a boat because I am a beginner. However, I can finally push aside some of the busyness of life in favor of the water. Does anyone out there have a Montgomery 15 for sale or can give me a lead I can follow to find one? I live in upstate NY near Lake Ontario. I will travel for the right boat. BTW, any opinions on the West Wight Potter 15? Bob Eeg scared me with some info he sent about their turtling because of little ballast. So many people own them and love them. The Potter is one of the few boats that I'm also interested in. However, Montgomery seems to trump Potter. Thoughts? Thanks much. Pat
