Hey, Gary, enjoy "the ride" (repairs) as much as the destination (launch). You will get to know your craft very well by then. I sailed my first Monty 17 on Lake Travis back in the early 1980's. They are fine boats! Fair winds, Tom Buzzi On Thu, Feb 4, 2021 at 9:27 AM Gary.perser <gary.perser@gmail.com> wrote:
I’m the guy who bought the ex-Gary Hyde M17 from Gail Russell. Currently working on getting it shipped to New Braunfels, TX to sail on Canyon Lake and Lake Travis. Corpus Christi Bay is a 3 hr tow and we plan to sail there occasionally. I also hope to tow to a few of my bucket list sailing sites, but wife Penny is a bit negative on that. I also plan to participate in a two boat informal race series on Lake Travis with Ken Tothero and his Sage 17. Yes, I know he will beat me.
A key part of the pact to allow purchase of this boat is my pledge to complete a lengthy nonsailing to-do list before we launch. I’m hoping for sometime this summer. Wish me perseverance and endurance.
