I don’t do FB either, but am still sailing a bit. Continuing to live in New Mexico but bought a cottage on Seneca Lake (in New York’s Finger Lakes) and get over there two or three times a year to sail. Have a covered hoist for winter storage with mast down and a topless hoist for summer, so no more trailering. 😊 Bill Riker Storm Petrel

I really dislike Facebook myself, but 'bit the bullet' and created a profile just for the Montgomery group. It has no friends, profile photos, etc. so I don't have to see anything but the Montgomery group. I even setup an ad blocker so there is no ads or "feed." I've been using e-mail lists for decades, and really like them, but they seem to be a dying thing. It's a shame because they can be archived as flat text files, with the cumulative wisdom and advice saved forever- which I don't think is possible for Facebook groups or forums, which eventually get lost and disappear.

Re: Facebook and difficulty accessing files, I agree as the typical method of sharing information is in blog format. With respect to my M17 steel to lead conversion and crack repair, I relied on Dave Scobie, Bob Egg and Sean Mulligan for technical input via facebook. I created a power point annotating my steps and identifying where the process could have been improved. If you look at the "files" tab under the Montgomery facebook page you'll see the power point in "*.pdf" format titled "Shoal Keel Repair Rev. A.". I like this advantage as you do not need to wade through past years of blog format information. I plan to create a similar power point documenting my transom repair which is almost an exact copy of Sean Mulligan's which I copied through his facebook posting and messaging. The advantage of facebook is pictorial representation. After I complete the top side painting and rebedding of hardware, I am looking at how to run my rigging starting from a clean slate. In this case, I will sincerely appreciate photos rigging options that have worked for fellow M17 sailors. Unfortunately, this forum while I have meticulous saved and folder sorted the threads by subject, the rigging guidance is challenging for me to comprehend. So ... when I am ready to ask for help, would sincerely appreciate your advice and pictures. I will then create a power point documenting what I create to be filed under the Montgomery facebook group "files" tab. No one method works, appreciate this forum as well.

We've had Hydeaway 2 for a couple of years now but haven't sailed her yet and she is still "The Boat with No Name". It's a long story, but no problem with the boat . We are hopeful for this year.

It would be a shame for this list to die out. There are still a good number of us that don't use Facebook. A lot of good information sharing and trip planning has been done here over the years. If we want to keep it alive and relevant, I guess we better start using it more often! On Tue, May 9, 2023 at 7:21 PM gary perser <gary.perser@gmail.com> wrote:

It is much better than Facebook for long term knowledge. I so appreciated people who have stopped sailing sticking around. I sold Hydeway 2 to Gary Perser but cannot bring myself to leave this list. On Tue, May 9, 2023, 10:21 PM Larry Yake <larryyake@gmail.com> wrote:

Still here... Pondering when, sometime soon, to splash M17 "Pajarita" for the season, she will be at Westlake Marina in Siltcoos lake just south of Florence, Oregon. For starters at least. Not sure if I will get her farther afield this year or not. I know there are a decent handful of us in this general vicinity - within half a day's tow or less I think - any interest in a Monty messabout on Siltcoos sometime this season? Could be non-Monty boats too, all good by me! Also don't use FarceBook, just haven't had anything to post here for a while... cheers, John On 5/9/23 20:21, Larry Yake wrote:
