Really excellent, Wayne!!!!!!!!!! Thanks so much for your work on this! I am interested in a rolled copy of the hull itself. Send the total for mailing a tube (and your snail-mail address), plus any amount you want to ask for time and materials, to chonshell@ia4u.net and I'll have a check on its way to you as soon as possible. I'm really excited about this. You can also put me down for a copy of the later version with the keel, sailplan, etc. Thanks again! --Craig, chonshell@ia4u.net ----- Original Message ----- From: wayne yeargain To: montgomery_boats@mailman.xmission.com Sent: Thursday, June 05, 2003 7:55 PM Subject: M17 Line drawings Hi fellow M boaters Thanks to Jerry's generosity I have a blueprint of the original line dwgs. for the M17 designed by Lyle Hess. Jerry if you'd like I'll mail it back to you, let me know. I've finished reproducing them, and will send a copy to the MSOG Site, but first can someone tell me what format to put it in so it can be opened without a cad program. I also will be happy to mail paper copies to anyone intrested, but first need to check the cost of printing and mailing, surely not more than a couple bucks. I'll check on the cost of mailing folded copies (really cheap) and in case anyone is intrested in a un-folded copy,I'll also check on costs in mailing them rolled in tubes (slightly more expensive I would guess). This dwg. does not include the sail plan, shoal keel & centerboard, or rudder, as the dwgs. Jerry had available did not include these items. I'll measure my boat and add these to a later version, I wanted this first copy to be exactly as Lyle Hess drew it. Its intresting working from his blueprints, I hope others will enjoy this as much as I have. You can reach me at this site, or saltydog@ev1.net Fair winds Wayne
