Bones, Thanks, Actually I'm John with a M-15. At 58, this is my first sailboat and, after searching the internet, appears to be just just the right size and a high quality boat It's great knowing there is this resource. I am sure I'll have lots of questions such as "when it goes in the water, which side goes up?" Lots of places to sail in Northwest Oregon. Can't tell you how much I am looking forward to it. Whole new world for my wife, our dog, and me. It it bad form to rename a boat? ________________________________ From: montgomery_boats-bounces@mailman.xmission.com on behalf of bownez@juno.com Sent: Mon 3/16/2009 5:14 PM To: montgomery_boats@mailman.xmission.com Subject: Re: M_Boats: A new M23?
