Hello, Good Old Boat magazine is planning a review of the Montgomery 17. We will be contacting owners of M-17s to collect comments about their experience with the boat. In addition, we need to find at least one owner in the Seattle/Bellingham area willing to sail his or her boat for a photo shoot under way, as well as allow us to come aboard for a brief sail and photography session that will preferably include a ramp launch and recovery. If possible, we’d also like to photograph boats from each primary era (three berth/galley w/cast iron centerboard, three and 3/4 berth Jerry Montgomery model w/lead & f.g. centerboard, etc., as well as examples of the more recent Nor'sea/Montgomery Boats models). Test sails and photo shoots will be scheduled between mid-August and late September 2013, as mutually convenient. If you are willing to participate in our owner survey, please reply by email to oldferdj@yahoo.com. If you have a boat in the Seattle/ Bellingham area that you are willing to provide for a photo shoot and test sail, please include a bit of information about the boat and your phone number in the email. Thanks in advance for your help. Best, Ferd Johns for Good Old Boat 360/240-1343
