2017 Dinghy Delta Ditch race in Sacramento Aug 5th
Hi all, I will be doing this race in my M15, and it would be great if other Montgomery people wanted to participate also. It's a 30 mile race in the California Delta near Sacramento California. The deadline to register is Saturday July 29th, and it costs $50. http://lwsailing.org/events/ddd2017.shtml Sincerely, Tyler Backman
Geoff Prindle and I did it in my Sage two years ago. You need a spinnaker. I just gave mine to Dave Scobie to use on a Sage 15 or I'd let you use it. it's a fun but not a good race in a non-planing boat; it's all downwind in 20-30 knots and there's no way you can save your time when the competition is planing. Good luck. The cruiser challenge in Monterey is this sat if interested. -----Original Message----- From: casioqv@usermail.com Sent: Monday, July 17, 2017 2:38 PM To: montgomery_boats@mailman.xmission.com Subject: M_Boats: 2017 Dinghy Delta Ditch race in Sacramento Aug 5th Hi all, I will be doing this race in my M15, and it would be great if other Montgomery people wanted to participate also.

I'd love to do the cruiser challenge again, but Samantha and I have a 5 week old baby (our son Tevian), and I can't leave her alone that long... hopefully I can do it next year. Last year was days before my PhD defense. I don't have a spinnaker, so I'll just do the race without it. If anyone on the list has one for sale, or would rent/loan it for this race, please let me know. I do have a big nylon drifter, but that's obviously not class legal. Does anyone have a recommendation for where to buy a good M15 racing spinnaker from, and what type (sailcloth weight, symmetrical vs asymmetrical) is typically used? Is there any chance there is a popular racing dinghy that uses the same size spinnaker, that can be often found used?

I happen to have one I would sell for $30. It might be pink and grey but would have to check. Thanks Doug On Tue, Jul 18, 2017 at 1:47 PM, <casioqv@usermail.com> wrote:

That's nothing, Doug. On my flush deck 17 I had a chute that was hot pink and purple! My wife called it the Fredericks of Hollywood sail. Skip Elliot made it, and when he asked the color I said "surprise me- use something that's about ready to go bad). Tyler- my chute for the m-15 was a discarded 470 chute. A bit big but no problem, and I used it in 30 kn winds and big chop in Mexico. A FJ chute would probably be fine, also a 420. Dougs would be fine- probably a 200%, which is the class chute. To quote Geo Patton, "old spinnakers never die; they just rip apart". (If you believe that, you'll believe anything). -----Original Message----- From: Douglas Kelch Sent: Tuesday, July 18, 2017 4:49 PM To: For and about Montgomery Sailboats Subject: Re: M_Boats: 2017 Dinghy Delta Ditch race in Sacramento Aug 5th I happen to have one I would sell for $30.

Is anyone interested in crewing on my M15 in this race on Saturday? Our chances are slim since it's a non-planing boat on a downwind course, and will be my first time flying the spinnaker Doug graciously sold me at an insanely low price (if I can get it rigged by then), but it will be fun.
