did you make a supporting mount that the battery boxes, and the containing batteries, are attached? ie, how are the batteries strapped down?

it'll be mostly highway travel, but i don't know how strong the boat bottom is, and my first thought is that to do so is a dumb idea and may cause damage to the boat bottom, and its just better to have the batteries in the towing vehicle

See original mail below..."Rush Aweigh" is the other M17. I don't see any Sage Cat officially in the race. All the 'cats' in the list are 'cat'amarans. The first stage (Pt. Townsend to Victoria) is over so right now, the tracker will indicate that when you go to it. Once the second stage (Victoria to Ketchikan) has started it will show tracking for that. cheers, John S.

it'll be mostly highway travel, but i don't know how strong the boat bottom is, and my first thought is that to do so is a dumb idea and may cause damage to the boat bottom, and its just better to have the batteries in the towing vehicle
thanks for any thoughts on the matter!

Hi Dave, I'm a new subscriber. I'm looking for help on how to get the centerboard out of a M 12 sailing dingy. I can't find a reprint of the manual online (yet), either. I've sailed a lot, and so can figure out the rigging, etc., but the CB needs some work. I would appreciate any suggestions for information. Thank you!

I don't see any Sage Cat officially in the race. All the 'cats' in the list are 'cat'amarans.
The first stage (Pt. Townsend to Victoria) is over so right now, the tracker will indicate that when you go to it. Once the second stage (Victoria to Ketchikan) has started it will show tracking for that.
cheers, John S.

Follow the glorious Montgomery boats on the tracker: http://tracker.r2ak.com/
A post from team Excellent Adventure, one of the two M17s (and a Ketchikan finisher the past two years, but apparently only doing the first leg this year) indicates some of why boats are all the heck over the place at this time after the first stage start, and their own particular tactics. Borne out by the windicators in the tracker...it's blowing pretty hard out in the strait, more so closer to the finish
line.
The other M17, team Rush Aweigh, is hanging out just off the spit at Dungeness. One of the kayaks, and the pair of SUPs, are on shore at the spit.
Excellent Adventure is presumably using the same oar rig as the first two years. Not sure what Rush Aweigh is doing about that.

Dave,
Was good to meet you and see the Sage Cat at R2AK yesterday. Noticed also there are other M-boats in the R2AK, but I didn't see oar locks on them, hope they get fair winds for the 750 miles to Alaska.

they got off O K when the starting gun was fired at 5:00 AM today. Steve M-15 # 335

Hi Burton- remove the two screws that fasten the straps to the top of the centerboard rails, then pull the board, complete with straps, straight up. To get the board all the way out you'll have to set the boat on it's side; you'll see why whjen you get to that point. -----Original Message----- From: Burton Lowry Sent: Thursday, June 15, 2017 9:48 AM To: For and about Montgomery Sailboats Subject: Re: M_Boats: R2AK tracker Hi Dave, I'm a new subscriber.
