I've been boating all my life and recently sold my perfect and beloved Pearson Ariel, which I owned for more than twenty years. I had trouble letting her go and worried that she wouldn't be taken care of in the manner she was accustomed to. I sold her because, being a yacht club boat, I wanted out of that prison. So, now I want a trailer sailboat, and my short list is M17 and M15. I'm joining this group to hopefully learn more about Montgomery boats and maybe locate one that meets my requirements. I've searched the internet without a lot of success. I'm looking for a loved and well kept yacht and I give my word that I'll only enhance her in the years of my ownership. I'm looking forward to being part of this group. I'm afraid I won't contribute very much, at first, but will lurk and ask questions and hopefully learn a lot about these great little boats.
