Not to blow a horn or anything (yeah, right), but for all the recent list
subscribers who may not have heard, there's a lot of information on our
boats at
http://www.msog.org,
The Montgomery Sailboat Owners Group, written for, by, and about
Montgomery boat owners.
It would be difficult to come up with a question that hasn't been
discussed on this list in the past; the MSOG site has a searchable
database of every posting ever made to this list, more than 15,000 of
them. It's at
http://msog.org/cfmods/list_archive_search.cfm.
Recent messages (last few months) not yet added to the searchable
database, as well as any back to March 1999 can be found at
http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/private/montgomery_boats/.
This address is also in the middle of all those links at the top of every
message sent to the list under "List-Archive".
If anyone needs assistance finding stuff on the MSOG, email me directly
at msog@msog.org.
Hope this helps. We welcome you to the elite (meaning small) family of
Montgomery owners. You are clearly a person with shrewd judgement and
acute perspicacity. (huh?)

Hello, my name is Dusty Lane,
I live in Kodiak, Alaska. I bought a 15 foot Montgomery sailboat this
spring from Sailing, Inc. in Seward, Alaska - I brought it over here on
the Ferry (it is on a trailer). My boat is a 1985 and comes with complete
rigging, sails and a 2 hp outboard. It is my first sailboat, and I hope
to hear from
other owners about advice on rigging, sailing, repairs, general tips,
etc.
I grew up on Kodiak Island, commercial fishing with my family for a
living(mostly seining and longlining), and I now work for the
Alaska Department of Fish and Game(talk about role-reversal)... A 15 foot
boat is so small! and a 2 hp outboard! But from all I've read,
Montgomerys are sturdy little boats, and it seems a great boat to learn
on(I will be a singlhander). I love the shallow draft as well. Please
send me your suggestions, tips, stories,etc! I wait to hear from you
sailors out there:) -Dusty
