Kirby, I recently took possession of a Pacific Trailer. Build took 6+ months, figure $4000... I had the ladder as an option, and the extension. Fit like a glove! Excellent workmanship. Also, to save shipping costs and hassle, I picked it up from Chino. Overall, expensive, yes. But, well worth it, as it'll outlive me😊. And I'm confident trailering just about anywhere. Good luck! Keith P.S. I've had the trailer for my C-Dory refurbished, including a new axle and surge brakes... very pricey! Not sure if it's cost effective Get Outlook for iOS<https://aka.ms/o0ukef> ________________________________ From: montgomery_boats-request@mailman.xmission.com <montgomery_boats-request@mailman.xmission.com> Sent: Friday, August 12, 2022 1:18:46 PM To: montgomery_boats@mailman.xmission.com <montgomery_boats@mailman.xmission.com> Subject: montgomery_boats Digest, Vol 234, Issue 5 Send montgomery_boats mailing list submissions to montgomery_boats@mailman.xmission.com To subscribe or unsubscribe via email, send a message with subject or body 'help' to montgomery_boats-request@mailman.xmission.com You can reach the person managing the list at montgomery_boats-owner@mailman.xmission.com When replying, please edit your Subject line so it is more specific than "Re: Contents of montgomery_boats digest..."

My EZ load galvanized trailer for my M-17 is still serviceable but am thinking of upgrading it to a bunk style in Aluminum or Galvanized.
Any manufacturers suggested, Welcome.
Maintenance on my aging 1985 trailer is getting tougher due to rusted, frozen parts. EZ loader still has many spare parts but they are out of stock on the shorter roller cross beams.
Best Regards

Wife is jealous Capt Jim -----Original Message----- From: Douglas Kelch <doug1kelch@gmail.com> Sent: Friday, August 12, 2022 11:21 AM To: For and about Montgomery Sailboats <montgomery_boats@mailman.xmission.com> Subject: M_Boats: Re: M15 main sheet Jim, I spent a lot of time messing with the rigging on my M15. By messing I mean not making permanent changes. Just take one or two legs out of the arrangement by skipping a block or two when reeving the mainsheet. For instance, if you have a block and becket at the traveller, just go from the becket to the block on the boom (Skip the teturn to the block) and then to the normal mainsheet cleat. Another example for light air is to terminate the mainsheet at the first block on the boom using a bowline around the block and down to the mainsheet cleat. (assuming the main sheet cleat is at the deck in front of the cabin). If yoant 2 to 1 continue to reeve the mainsheet back to the block on the aft block near the transom and tie the bowline there, On Fri, Aug 12, 2022 at 10:09 AM Jim Sadler <jimsadler@jascopacific.com> wrote:
M15 skippers Have any of you skipper reduced the main sheet from a (3) part to (2) part? The (3) part seems over kill for a vessel this small . Quicker response with a (2) part.
Thanks
