Ferd: I own M17 "Hydeaway2", sail #637 completed Nov 2005. I've participated in 6 of the 7 (all but the first) San Juan cruises planned and lead by Larry Yake. I did the 2005 one in my M15 "Vanilla" and the rest in the M17. I also did a 2-week cruise in Desolation Sound with Larry and the Agrella's from Spokane. ~~~_/)~~~ Gary Hyde Sent from my iPhone :-) On Jul 7, 2013, at 12:59 PM, Ferdinand Johns <oldferdj@yahoo.com> wrote:

Hello, folks

As I mentioned in my earlier post, Good Old Boat is planning an upcoming feature article on the Montgomery 17, and I am requesting that owners willing to participate in a brief survey send me an email to that effect. Later this month, I will email each participant the survey form. I am still looking for a boat located somewhere between Seattle and Bellingham for a photo shoot and test sail with the owner, preferably including a trailer launch and recovery. Many thanks to those who have already agreed to participate.

Hi. I've owned Miss T my M17 for 27 years and sailed her to a lot of places. I'd be glad to participate in your survey.
