Hello all, This weekend We are going to look at, and probably purchase, a 2011 Montgomery 15 that has had very little use. The sails are actually still crinkly! As the car is not up to towing 800 pounds of boat plus trailer weight, she will be living in a slip in Branford, Ct, on Long Island Sound. I’ve enjoyed little boats for the past 40 years, always small enough to reach over the side and touch the water, but this will be my first sailboat in a while. My wife has a sense of adventure, and loves being on the water. The M 15 is actually luxury compared to my last boat, a 12 foot gaff rigged catboat. On that one I had many fun overnights, and once took a two week cruise while sleeping under a boom tent. Right now I’m scratching my head about how to paint the centerboard and trunk while the boat is on the trailer. Any suggestions are welcome! Gaeton Andretta Milford, Ct Sent from my iPad
