Hi Craig, thanks for responding. Actually I work in Muskegon, right on the lake at Torresens. How do you like your 17, how long have you had it? I am just learning how to sail and every time seems to be an adventure of some sort. Today is my day off and of course it is real windy and blowing straight in off Fremont Lake, making it very difficult for an amateur to enjoy a day of sailing, Have a great day!

I sail my M17 on Muskegon Lake/Lake Michigan, Rick ... I keep mine at Fisherman's Landing near the powerplant near North Muskegon with her mast up ... You're welcome to rendezvous w/me sometime and take a look ... I live in Charlotte, but work in Grand Rapids near the GR Ford Int'l Airport, and sail West Michigan. Where did you find your 15'? --Craig F. Honshell, M17 #389; M12 #158

forgive me Connie and Tod, but I am anxious to communicate with fellow Montogomery owners. Last month I bought a Montgomery 15, number 249, and am trying to learn to sail it (with much difficulty of course). I live in Western Michigan and think these boats are pretty cool, although not very common around here. Are there any visual aids available on the net as far as running rigging go? How about rope size recommendations? Hope to hear from someone soon..Thanks Rick from Fremont

Great, Connie
I'm a bit familiar with the shellback from the ads for the kit in Woodenboat. Pretty little dinghy!
