Jeff, you might want to practice reefing without your friend. You'll be surprised and pleased at how well-mannered your M17 will become in very windy conditions. t Tom Smith & Jane Van Winkle M17 #496 -----Original Message----- From: montgomery_boats-bounces+tsmith=nextit.com@mailman.xmission.com [mailto:montgomery_boats-bounces+tsmith=nextit.com@mailman.xmission.com] On Behalf Of Jeff Royce Sent: Thursday, July 20, 2006 10:40 AM To: For and about Montgomery Sailboats Subject: Re: M_Boats: Anyone interested in a N. Calif/SF bay area get together I am an average sailor and the proud owner of M17 #336. I would like to meet up with others but my abilities may not be of SF Bay caliber... no clue how to reef a sail. I do have a friend, though, who i could drag along. I am interested. Jeff tillertender@comcast.net wrote: Bob Becker and I were sailing a few week ago and and thought it might be fun to get the N. Cal Montgomery sailors together for sail. Is there any interest out there? Time and place to be determined based on interest and input from those participating.
