Thanks Sal. I look forward to development of the company and the first boat. Bill Wickett On Wed, Apr 14, 2010 at 7:33 AM, <SALGLESSER@aol.com> wrote:
Hi all, Jerry felt like it was time to provide some additional information on the development of his new design. Gail and I are the clients behind the “start up” company that has been working with Jerry Montgomery. Sorry for the delay in offering this information. We really didn’t have enough information to offer and the project wasn ’t far enough along to answer questions. Jerry offered some information at the Havasu Pocket Cruiser event. As long time admirers of the Lyle Hess / Jerry Montgomery design lineage, Gail and I will accept the responsibility of being a custodian of part of that design lineage. We have great respect for their designs. Jerry’s finished design is 16’-9” long and Jerry decided that the boat would be designated as a 17 footer. Many of the suggestions made to Jerry on this board have been incorporated into the design. (eg: sitting headroom, no pole in the cabin, etc.). We would also be interested in any of the “little details” that come to be important with experience, like the current discussion of efficient latches on cockpit hatches. Jerry and I will be pleased to answer questions, but I don’t think it proper to discuss commercial issues on this board. Design issues are welcome and invited as it is our goal to produce the best Jerry Montgomery design to date, and your valuable input helps. So you won’t see any “sales pitches” on this board, at least not from me. For those that might have interest, we have a Web-site in progress that should be up and running in the next 3 weeks. We’ll show drawings of the boat and photos of the progress. The web-site will include a forum. While our production will be of only one design, that design is a cousin to all of the other Hess / Montgomery designs and all interested in that design lineage are invited to participate. Monty sailors are a special group. Their experiences and adventures are always enjoyable. Jerry Montgomery will participate in the forum. Since the boat is still in development, all suggestions that would make the design a better boat are encouraged. The name of the new company is “Sage Marine”. (WWW: SageMarine.US). The yacht will be called a “Sage 17” design by Jerry Montgomery. Thanx much. salngail _______________________________________________ http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/montgomery_boats
