Thanx much. sal In a message dated 7/14/2022 6:30:40 PM Mountain Standard Time, montgomeryboats@hotmail.com writes: I’ve been talking to Stan many times and sent him a bunch of photos. In the past and today as well. Talked maybe 5 times to Stan. The board is glass and the same big size. Stanley has photos. We don’t use a winch we use a 3 part rope to a cable to the board. 1/2 inch pin. Was Ron sober I wonder..? …..hahaha. The board is trapped inside the trunk and the entire boat sits on a padded runner on the trailer so it won’t budge. Lift the bote and it will descend. I may send photos to everyone concerned.Be well Mr. Egg Sent from my iPad On Jul 14, 2022, at 3:46 PM, jerry montgomery <jmbn1@outlook.com> wrote: Hi Sal- i've talked to Ron about this boat but really can't help him because he doesn't know anything about the board; whether it's glass, iron, or what. All he knows is that it's stuck in the trunk and won't move. I know that Eeg didn't use a regular cast iron 23 board because the pattern went bye-bye when Globe Iron Foundry went out of business in the early 80's. He may have used an M-15 board which would be totally inadequate. Many years ago, before Eeg started to make the boat, I made a foundry pattern for him for a bronze board but I can't see Egg putting that kind of money in the boat. Apparently there is no mechanism for lifting the CB, but I'm sure Ron is smart enough to come up with something. I really can't help because so far he can't give me any information. He just recently called me and left a message but so far I can't get back to him. I'll keep trying, and also talk to Stan to see if he might have some helpful info. I know that Stan went by and looked at the boat a while back and he's smarter than he looks. ________________________________ From: sal glesser via montgomery_boats <montgomery_boats@mailman.xmission.com> Sent: Wednesday, July 13, 2022 11:29 AM To: montgomery_boats@mailman.xmission.com <montgomery_boats@mailman.xmission.com>; montgomery_boats@mailman.xmission.com <montgomery_boats@mailman.xmission.com> Cc: mooresailboats@gmail.com <mooresailboats@gmail.com>; salglesser@aol.com <salglesser@aol.com> Subject: M_Boats: Re: ned some advice on the centeroard for an M23? Hi all, sal here. I don't post a lot, but I read a lot. Gail and I are finally finishing up our M23. (Green hull) It's been a long road but we're making progress. Ron Moore is finishing the boat for us. He built our Moore 24 (1984) which we are still sailing. He is a world class boat builder. There was a lot of work to be done. We have no images on how the centerboard winch was set up and any assistance that we can get would be appreciated. We're planning to bring the boat back to Colorado in early August. It's been a long time and we are looking forward to sailing her. Thanx in advance. salngail glesser Ex M15 owner ('86 "Justus")Sage 17 "Air Born"Sage 15 M23
