If you can find one of the old Montgomery 6'8" prams, they work very well. jerry ----- Original Message ----- From: "Conbert Benneck" <chbenneck@sbcglobal.net> To: "For and about Montgomery Sailboats" <montgomery_boats@mailman.xmission.com> Sent: Saturday, September 21, 2013 4:55 AM Subject: Re: M_Boats: Dinghy for a Montgomery 17

Hi Lenny,
I built a Bolger designed NYMPH dinghy that I used with our M15.
It was the original design NYMPH - a bit skittish when boarding, but when seated no problem. Bolger recognized that problem and made a redesign by adding 12 inches to the width of the bottom to increase the stability. I think he called that one the Rubens NYMPH.
Ours was a delight to row for miles, and it towed nicely with very little drag behind the M15. It is also light weight and car-tops easily.
I you need a dinghy and are in the East, ours has been hanging from the garage ceiling for years, ever since we sold the M15 - old age - and it needs a new home.

Any thoughts/recommendations for a dinghy for a Montgomery 17?
