Hi: Could somebody knowledgeable respond to these questions? I know there is a piece by Jerry about 'mast rake' on the Monty site, but I could not find anything about the level reference. Also, what is the optimum heel angle for the M17? Thanks in advance, cheers, Shawn Boles Grey Mist (M17 #276 1978) -----Original Message----- From: montgomery_boats-bounces@mailman.xmission.com [mailto:montgomery_boats-bounces@mailman.xmission.com] On Behalf Of Tim Diebert Sent: Thursday, June 05, 2008 6:04 AM To: 'For and about Montgomery Sailboats' Subject: Re: M_Boats: Mast rake on M-17 plus free sheaves .....and I would like to add to this.....other than the water line....is there a level reference in a 17?

I have new standing rigging but need to make some major adjustments to the mast position. Do any of you more experienced sailors have some rules of thumb or specifics on setting the mast rake? Also, I have a set of four stock aluminum sheaves that Bob Eeg was kind enough to include with four slightly modified sheaves that I used for my new rope halyards. I would like to pass these four stock sheaves along to someone that can use them. Please let me know if you want them off the list at robbin.roddewig@verizon.net Thanks Robbin M-17 #056
