Yes, upload your photos to the msog photo site. I, too had my Monty 17 painted. It made a huge difference. Jon Barber Monty 17 Ol'44 On Wed, Nov 7, 2018, 11:01 AM <montgomery_boats-request@mailman.xmission.com wrote:

Greetings all - I have a 1981 Montgomery 17 (Scooby Doo - sail #888) that has been recently repainted (need to create a page and upload photos - she looks great!). Unfortunately, the boat yard that did the work returned several elements of the rigging in a chaotic state. I have been able to fix all of the chaos, except for the traveler. Would someone send a photo / direct me to a page on the Montgomery website with a photo of the correct rigging for the traveler?

Thanks,

Ed

Ed.

The traveler is a 1/4" line with a block similar to a Harken #2649 (rope traveler block). I don't have the length of the line, but it needs to be set so when you pull the mainsheet tight the aft end of the boom is just at the aft quarter (tighter makes the boat sail worse - I've found many M15s where the main is oversheeted because of a too short mainsheet traveler). A M15 owner can share the length.

The tie an 8-knot in one end. Run line through one of the transom holes (by the aft end of the combing); run line through the block, run line through the second (opposite) transom hole and tie an 8-knot.

Ed,?I think Dave is referring to a M-15 traveler? If you have a M-17 - there are many types of travelers - can you post a photo of the hardware you have ? We can get it figured from the photo. Thanks, Gary O.M-17 Sail# 354 - 'Tiny Purple Fishes'? (one of a few that has had the traveler removed!)
