That's regular. The tall rig would be about 1'9" longer. That surprises me; I think Tom had two different 17's and both were tall rigs because of all the lite air in AZ and Mexico. I wonder if an interim owner changed it. -----Original Message----- From: Thomas Howe Sent: Thursday, September 08, 2016 10:07 AM To: For and about Montgomery Sailboats Subject: Re: M_Boats: Old guy in Phoenix Hmm, I don't know, and I don't have anything to compare it to! I've just ordered a new suit of sails, the hoist to the top of the boom was 18.65'. Not sure if this is tall or regular. -----Original Message----- From: montgomery_boats [mailto:montgomery_boats-bounces@mailman.xmission.com] On Behalf Of jerry@jerrymontgomery.org Sent: Thursday, September 08, 2016 9:43 AM To: For and about Montgomery Sailboats Subject: Re: M_Boats: Old guy in Phoenix Yes!

Just wondered if it was the one I sailed on, which was yellow. It was from St Paul. It's probably what we used to call ivory. My dealer in Tucson, who was a great sailing buddy until he got too old, sold most of the 23's.

My M23 is cream(?) colored. It’s Parrot Head from Arizona. I believe it’s #81. If things go according to plan, I’ll get it in the water for the first time tomorrow.

I’ve been to the LLR for the past 4-5 years. I just got my M23 this summer. So I didn’t take it this year. It’s possible that I may take it next year.

That's great, Henry- I'll keep your name and talk to you next summer!
They have a good website with this year's results.

I'm in, depending on dates and family obligations.

I’ve been thinking about doing the Leach Lake Regatta in N MN. I went
once, probably in’79 or maybe ‘80, sailed on a M-23, and had a great
time. I just took a look at the website for the results for this year (Aug 15-17) and there were no Montgomery's or Sages. In fleet 1, the smallest one, the smallest boat was a Cape Dory Typhone (2nd place), which is a neat boat but no match for an M or S, but this race was on handicap, PHRF.
My question is: Do any of you fellow wrinklebote sailors have an interest in going in 2017? If so, I’d be inclined to think seriously about it myself. I know that there are a good number of 17’s in that area. Let me know if you are interested; don’t need commitments, obviously. -- I am using the free version of SPAMfighter.
