Arnold, I have a galley model (1974) M17 and find that it crowds the interior. Several years ago, I had a Slipper 17 which had no galley so I built a "Dutch Galley" for it. It consisted of a large box with a dishpan sink, a place for a one burner stove and storage for cookware. Most of the time, I used the galley under the awning in the cockpit and stowed it away in chocks across the forepeak behind the head. In incliment weather, I set the galley box on one of the quarter berths and sat on the ice chest/cockpit step to cook. I had a dodger on the main hatch which gave plenty of sitting headroom for cooking and eating. Whitebeard M17 #14, Griselda.

Monty Sailors!!!
I am the happy owner of M-17 "Little Breeze" for the last 3 years. She is a 1977 model, hull #265 and the interior layout has quarter berths to port and starboard. When spending overnight aboard I find food prep. difficult and am considering converting the port Quarter berth to a little galley of sorts. I have been told that some early Montys were build that way. If anyone out there with a M-17 with a galley (small is it may be) would be so kind as to take a picture or two I would be most appreciative. Regards..Arnold Sharpe
