I will be picking up one in Fairhope, AL in 3 weeks that I'll be bringing back to TX and putting at our Lake house at Lake Livingston. You are more than welcome to come check it our and even sail it with me if you like. Let me know. I'm excited about getting my hands on her. She's a 77 model, but had a brand new paint job. She had been taken in on a trade by a boat delear over there who also has a full service yard, so he had his crew work on her. -----Original Message-----

The headstay fitting is fabricated SS rather than the earlier cast aluminum. The headstay fitting has three equal distance holes (I haven't measured the diameter of the holes). I use the forward most hole for the headstay. I'm thinking a simple "D" shackle would do, but I can't find the exact one. Would a long "D" shackle be better than standard? I hate the idea of fumbling around with a "D" shackle on the foredeck--then plop into the water.

Dear MSOG folks. I sent this note to Doug and he recommended I forward it on the list. Thanks for any help.:-)
----------------------------------------
I am located in Central Texas, near Austin and am in the process of selling my 30' ketch and downsizing. I've looked at all the small boats and decided on a Montgomery, but I am unsure between 15 and 17 (leaning towards 17).
I've read through your entire site, including the discussion on choosingand I must say I am leaning towards 17 because of my desire to do lots of overnighters in it and sail along the Texas coast (in the bays, not the Gulf) but the 15 is really a very portable boat.
Can you put me in touch with one or two owners in the Central Texas, or at least somewhere in Texas, with 15s and 17s that I could contact and perhaps visit?
I've spoken to Bob as I may choose to buy new but he was unable to provide any names.
In any case, thanks if you can help.

My name is David and I live in the Northeast part of San Antonio. I have a 15. Haven't had it long but I am really enjoying it. Feel free to contact me at cherish@fbcuc.org.

M-17 Motu iti is home based in Arlington, TX. She are currently in Lake Havasu City, AZ to participate in "1st Havasu Pocket Cruiser Poker Run and Scavenger Hunt" but will be back in TX in March. We would be happy to have you look her over and take a sail. BTW two of us spent 6 days and night on her in the San Juan Islands last year. Had a great time and were still speaking to each other when it was over,

Thank you, Gary. I think she responded in another note. Near Arlington, right? I hope to get up there sometime in March.
