Hi Sal, It’s nice to know the ending to the story. I always wondered how things ended, other than starting your own boat building business. I’m still disappointed I never got to buy a Sage 15. Oh well, life goes on The best of luck with the new M-23. I hope you have many years of enjoyable adventures. Skip Campion M-15 #208 1982 M-5.8 #27 1973

Hi All, It's been a while, but we are pleased to announce that our Montgomery 23 is finally in the water. It is boat #2 with the new style deck. Construction began in 2004. Gail decided to drive the project to completion (bless her) a couple of years ago. It had been sitting at our factory since 2010. The boat was completed by Mr. Ron Moore and his wife Martha (bless them) of Moore Sailboats. There was a lot of work to be done so the project took a while. Ron Moore is a master boat builder extraordinaire, so the build quality is exceptional. (He built our Moore 24 for us back in '84, which we still sail). He and Martha came out of retirement to do this project for us. Inboard diesel, custom sails and custom cushions. We had to increase the length of the double berth, complete all of the electrical, redo the centerboard and add a hoist, go through the engine, which had never been run and complete construction of the interior, We re looking forward to spending quality time on her. salngail glesser (Persistence is King)
