Ditto, Gilbert! :-) Others can have their blue-water, I want to see the inland lakes and coastal niches that trailer-sailors are designed to explore. I'm a landlubber who loves to see the land from water. -) --Craig ----- Original Message ----- From: "gilbert landin" <gilbert@mindgame.com> To: "For and about Montgomery Sailboats" <montgomery_boats@mailman.xmission.com> Sent: Thursday, January 29, 2004 10:33 PM Subject: wet montys such are the dreams of exploration and adventure ----- Original Message ----- From: "Honshells" <chonshell@ia4u.net> To: "For and about Montgomery Sailboats" <montgomery_boats@mailman.xmission.com> Sent: Thursday, January 29, 2004 6:31 PM Subject: wet montys Gilbert, Actually, having subscribed to this list for years, I get the impression that more M-Listers keep their boats in slips or on moorings than keep them on their trailers. You heard from a lot of trailer people because your original question about the Cape Dory Typhoon versus the M17 said something to the effect of, "I'm interested in trailerability because I want the versatility to leave the neighborhood and explore . . ." If trailerability is factored in, it's a key point of comparison between the CD Ty and the Montys . . . --Craig
