Hi Larry, Thanx much. Very useful. Fred & Lilly had boat #1, ours is #2. #3 was sold to a couple in the North East. Fred and Lilly sold their boat to a couple in Canada, then they purchased a Sage 17. (They were present at the launch of the 1st Sage 17 that Jerry built, which I believe Tyler now owns.) We prefer the rear mounted rigging and will try to replicate it. best, sal In a message dated 8/17/2023 8:34:48 PM Mountain Daylight Time, larryyake@gmail.com writes: Sal, I looked back thru some pictures from the old San Juan Rendesvous and it looks like Sea Cutter, the first of the new model M23's, had end boom sheeting to the stern pulpit. I don't have any pictures that show the details clearly, but here's one of the original owners Fred and Lilly Shelley that shows its location.

Currently there is nothing set up. Any information or photos of a M23 Main sheet rigging set up would be appreciated.

It is boat #2 with the new style deck. Construction began in 2004. Gail decided to drive the project to completion (bless her) a couple of years ago. It had been sitting at our factory since 2010. The boat was completed by Mr. Ron Moore and his wife Martha (bless them) of Moore Sailboats. There was a lot of work to be done so the project took a while. Ron Moore is a master boat builder extraordinaire, so the build quality is exceptional. (He built our Moore 24 for us back in '84, which we still sail). He and Martha came out of retirement to do this project for us. Inboard diesel, custom sails and custom cushions. We had to increase the length of the double berth, complete all of the electrical, redo the centerboard and add a hoist, go through the engine, which had never been run and complete construction of the interior, We re looking forward to spending quality time on her. salngail glesser (Persistence is King)
