The Apostle Islands is a spot I've been hankering to try for years. Keep us posted with your schedule as you go, and if it works out, I'd love to join you there.
Part of it for me will depend on whether or not I can get my centerboard problem fixed before then.

Having just retired in early January, I have the time to do one of my "goals". Starting in May, I plan to trailer my M17 around the perimeter (more or less) of the US, lauching it in places I have always wanted to sail. I would enjoy having company at any, or all of the sites, and especially would like to have some first hand knowledge about the areas where I plan to sail. The list below gives the places and the approximate times I will be there.
First week in May: Perdido Bay, Alabama Second week in May: Corpus Christi bay and Padre Island Late in May: San Carlos, Mexico Early June: Newport beach - Catalina Island, CA Mid June: San Francisco Bay (Hope to compete in the small cruiser race) Early July San Juan Islands Mid July - August: Canoeing the Yellowstone river Early August: Apostle Islands, WI Mid August: North Channel, Ontario Late August: Bras d' Ore Lake, Nova Scotia Early Sept: Southwest Harbor, Maine Mid Sept: Mystic Seaport, CN Late Sept: Cambridge (Chesapeake) End of Sept: Home!
The timing of the trip is loose but I plan to be in San Carlos while the regatta is on (May 23, 24, and 25), and in San Francisco area in time for the Potter/Montgomery race, which I'm assuming will be held close to June 15.
It's an ambitious trip, and I would enjoy sailing in company and seeing a lot of other Montgomery sailboats and their owners. Let me know if you are interested, or if you have some information on launch ramps, places to sail, etc., for these areas.
Thanks,

John, Let me know when you are in the San Francisco bay area and I'll sail my M15 with you.
Perhaps we can get some other bay area sailors and have our own regatta.

Several months ago someone posted a recommendation for a Florida sail maker who had built a good genoa for an M17. (In St. Petersburg, I seem to recall.) I meant to save the message, but now I can't find it.
Can anyone help?
Thanks,
David Fann, David, Farrarm Sails in New London,CT built me a custom 150 genoa this past Fall. Call Kevin Farrar and tell him I referred you. He'll have the specs on hand...Guarnntee that this is a VERY well built sail! He was in the process of completeing a full set of sails for Senator Ted Kennedy's big boat when I caught up with him last Summer. Yet he took my order, came to my boat took measurements, and built, and delivered my sail on time. He is one of THE BEST Small boat sail lofts in the World. JJ Isler and gang frequent his place often. He'll give you a price over the phone. Unfortunately my M17 is in CT, and I'm not able to give you his address, but you can internet search for him. The USCG has me SO busy, that I may have to drop off the mlist until the Summer, unable to keep up reading my email. I am VERY pleased with mine :) God Bless this Country, and the Men and Women of the US Military. Eugene, Whoa Nellie M17 #354

Thomas, I found this in my personal archives about lifting the M17. It's from Jerry M., so you can't get a much better answer than that.

We used to lift the 17's (to keel them and put them on the trailer) by the extruded toe rails with no problem. Inspect the boat carefully and if everything is tight, lift from 4 points, using plenty of scope on the sling.
