George, None of the shrouds on my 1985 M-15 have had turnbuckles since I bought it new, but I can adjust the tension by moving the pin to another hole on the fastener. Will that work on yours?

I have just taken possession of what is titled as a "96" AM CLASSIC but looks like a Montgomery 15 (it was listed on the MSOG for sale site) it has the name American Classic on it. As this is after Jerry sold the company in 1995 this must be from a company he sold the molds to.
I was wondering if all the specs and information on the
MSOG site are valid
for the boat I have. I could not find a company under that name, I know that in the boat business they come and go. I understand Montgomery Boats @ Dana Point is building them now.
Any help would be appreciated as I get ready to rig her as soon as the snow melts. It appears that the forestay on this boat does not have a turnbuckle and I am concerned that I will not be able to adjust the rake on the mast.

Dave Thaks for the information. The shrouds have turnbuckles and only the forestay has no adjustment. It will have to be shortened it use either the recommended stay adjuster or a turnbuckle George -----Original Message----- From: montgomery_boats-bounces@mailman.xmission.com [mailto:montgomery_boats-bounces@mailman.xmission.com] On Behalf Of W David Scobie Sent: Friday, March 22, 2013 5:59 PM To: For and about Montgomery Sailboats Subject: Re: M_Boats: shrouds ?

There was a fella by the name of chuck McCoy that got the molds from Jerry sometime mid 90s and I believe he was in or near Seattle and he built a few of M boats maybe under different name. So that might be where she came from. Can't speak to the quality of construction but he did build small lapstrake dinghy s that appeared to be a quality build. Enjoy the boat and good luck going forward Gary Sent from my iPhone On Mar 22, 2013, at 7:15 PM, "George R. Iemmolo" <griemmolo2@gmail.com> wrote:

Gary Thanks for the information. I am sure that at least the hull is a Montgomery the deck and interior might be other than original. At least I am in the family as a Cousin:-) George -----Original Message----- From: montgomery_boats-bounces@mailman.xmission.com [mailto:montgomery_boats-bounces@mailman.xmission.com] On Behalf Of Gary Valetti Sent: Friday, March 22, 2013 6:36 PM To: For and about Montgomery Sailboats Subject: Re: M_Boats: shrouds ?
