searched every where, not one, and can't find anyone who has even tried to put a stayless mast on a montgomery 17 has anyone tried to put flolding doors instead of usual hatch boards.
Roy, I remembered this posting from a couple years ago, but I don't think we've heard from him since. Dan, are you still out there?

At the moment I am looking at some drawings made by Tom Mac Naughton for his Farthing design. I'm also open to anyone else's vane steering system, as this boat will be be cruised extensively with another microcruiser from Sweden. If you would like to share any ideas considering your vane steering design, it would be welcomed. I also have a friend who is a certified MIG - TIG welder who is actually an artist when it comes to fabrication. Please let me know what you think. Many Thanks, DanBolbrock M-17,#220 Montpetit
