Hi Jeff, Thanks for the response. Perhaps I can swing by your neighborhood at some time when it's convenient for you. This weekend we have guests and I plan to take them sailing on the Bay in the Cal. But I'd definitely like to get together with you to learn about the M17 and what kinds of rigging arrangements can be done for singlehanding. If you know of anyone looking to swap and M17 for a boat or two, please pass them my way. Thanks.

She is 1982 vintage and is in good condition. I am slowwwwwwly updating her (new rudder, new standing rigging, new motor, next will be new sails purchased from Mr. Tosh). She is not for sale at this time (although anything is for sale for the right price) but you are welcome to poke around her and perhaps we can even set up an expedition of sorts in the future. I will call you.

For a number of reasons I've decided to explore the world of trailer sailing. The M17 seems to be a truly fine boat for this but I have not actually seen one up close and personal. I live in Woodland and would enjoy meeting anyone who could offer advice / suggestions on the boat's characteristics. I now own (and am desperately trying to sell) both a Cal 2-24 (berthed in Richmond) and a Kingfisher 22 " SHANTI " which comes on her own trailer. Looking forward to hearing from anyone who cares to respond.
