Hi all, Does anyone have an "original" M-17 traveler (early model - mounted just aft of companionway/front of cockpit) they'd like to sell me? Or know where I can get a used one? I have not decided exactly what to do with the big huge Harken windward sheeting traveler that a previous owner install on my M-17, but I'm not likely to keep it as installed (described in past posts - bolted to the top of the cockpit seats just aft of companionway, getting in the way of ingress/egress and sitting on that part of the seat and lounging on that part of the seat). I could cut it down and mount it on the cockpit floor, but with the width of the car and the width of the end stops/blocks it would only give me about 6" of windward sheeting either side of center (and become a toe-banging object instead of a shin-banging object). I am checking to see if the car on it is larger than necessary - there are three sizes, the smallest more than adequate for the M-17 sail area. cheers, John S.

Michigan is like that. It is 42 deg and raining in Valparaiso,IN so no boat prep today.
I will be crewing on a 38' Erickson in Aug from Michigan City, IN to Mackinaw the owner is delivering his boat to The West Coast of Florida over the next 3 years thru the St Lawrence Seaway. Hope to do Lake Erie next year and the Atlantic the year after. OPB is the best way to go😎

Still highs barely reaching 50 and cold north winds here just below the Mackinaw bridge. Did a bunch of new things to the boat all of which have had little to no sea(lake) trials. Itchin' to get it out of the barn for some fun and entertaining the people on shore as things go not always according to plan... Soon
Have a good time everyone,

I know it is sailing weather in many parts of the country and that might be why I have not seen a MSG. on the Wrinkle Boat list for a few weeks or somehow I was dropped?
Still working on getting the Jib Furling system assembled and the rest of the boat ready to splash. docks are in so it's up to me now.😎
