Hi from Jeremy and Griselda (Montomgery 17 #14, w/the original fixed keel).In January, I took Griselda out for her first sail in 20 years! She hit about 6.4 knots in about 15-20 knots of wind on Lake Lewisville in Dallas. She's currently parked on a trailer in Dallas, but will be moving to San Diego in June. I'm picking up my first purchase for Griselda since buying the boat from Ron down in Huntsville, TX...a set of tanbark sails that were made for a Cape Dory 19. I think they will look awesome with the dark green of Griselda's hull. I'm getting them for just $225! I don't think I'll need to do any alterations. I'm currently on a US Navy guided missle cruiser (the USS Chancellorsville) teaching college English to sailors. During my free time I am going to be learning fancy work to dress Griselda in all the finery she deserves! I am also thinking about making my own safety nets instead of buying them. One of the first things I'm going to learn is how to do wraps around poles (not to try to upstage Corndog, Larry!). I'm looking forward to joining the rest of the M17s in San Diego.
(this was my original post, but I had pictures attached so it was too large to post on the list) Hi from Jeremy and Griselda (Montomgery 17 #14, w/the original fixed keel).In January, I took Griselda out for my inagural sail. She hit about 6.4 knots in about 15-20 knots of wind on Lake Lewisville in Dallas (estimated b/c my friend's iPhone said we were going 6mph and sometimes said 7mph. She's currently parked on a trailer in Dallas, but will be moving to San Diego in June.

I'm currently on a US Navy guided missle cruiser (the USS Chancellorsville) teaching college English to sailors. During my free time I am going to be learning fancy work from the boatswain's mates here so I can dress Griselda in all the finery she deserves. I am also thinking about making my own safety nets instead of buying them. One of the first things I'm going to learn is how to wrap the mast step (not to try to upstage Corndog, Larry!). I'm looking forward to joining the rest of the M17s in San Diego. (Matt, I emailed you about MBYC, I'm interested in pricing and the setup they use to launch your boat).
Jeremy Sorry to hear you are leaving D-FW , I was really looking forward to having another " wrinkle boat " to sail with but there are several trailer sailors in the San Diego area who will show you a good time. Mission Bay Yacht Club sounds like a great club.

Jeremy This is Stan up in Newport Beach, actually Havasu tonight, I'm in San Diego a couple times a month calling on boatyards and such. Don't know if your boat need anything but I'm volunteering to help where I can, I may have worked on your boat at the factory all those years ago. Invite me down there sometime for a match race. --- On Mon, 2/14/11, eisenee@aol.com <eisenee@aol.com> wrote: From: eisenee@aol.com <eisenee@aol.com> Subject: Re: M_Boats: Hello from the Pacific Ocean!
