For rigging parts & pieces and making up stays & shrouds to order I have had good service and good prices from Rigging Only: https://www.riggingandhardware.com/ Shop is in Fairhaven, MA but they ship everywhere of course. Knowledgeable phone support, they were able to answer all my questions and explain various options to me before I ordered stuff. Also, if it were me, starting from scratch with a whole new rig, I would consider soft standing rigging instead of 'traditional' steel wire. cheers, John On 8/13/24 09:32, Gerry Lempicki via montgomery_boats wrote:
I’m in western MA and have an M17 we restored 6 or 7 years ago. I bought a new mast from Dwyer and fit it along with new standing rigging. -Gerry

Welcome aboard. I'm in Massachusetts and have been sailing M17 #215 for about 8 years now. Not too many of us Monty owners here in New England. It probably would be a few days before I could get to it, but I can provide measurements if you still need them.

Hello from Maine,
I've recently acquired Montgomery 17 (1985 Hull no. 397), photo attached. The boat needs a new rig. Can someone in the group share specs on the mast and rig for this boat?
I welcome any and all thoughts and suggestions on this hull and rig from experienced Montgomery 17 owners.
The boat is in good share overall, but it hasn't seen water in the last 20 years.
Thank you,
Jim <monty.17.20.10.03 (3).jpg>
