Hello All, I found Montgomery boats quite by chance surfing on the last day of the year 2007. I was very intrigued and thought I would buy a secondhand M17, but could find nothing for sale in the South. I live in Virginia. I believe I like the Ms for the right reasons: wellmade, seakindly, easy to sail, minimal, shoal draft. Meanwhile I bought a very nice Tiki 21 catamaran. That last feature has been true of all my boats. It's because I live on the water, on the Rappahannock River, but my mooring at low tide is under two feet. My boats have been, in order: Town 16, Rhodes Bantam, Mobjack, Sunbird 18 trimaran, Tremolino 23 trimaran, Bolger Martha Jane, and the Tiki. I sold my it this past 8/24. Why? Cabin too small. You touch three out of four sides. The one drawback of all small multihulls. I am very eager to look at an M15. I know a couple of M people nearby own M17s. Does anybody know who owns an M15 around the Chesapeake?
