David, The story I was told was that the son of the owner was sailing the boat with number of Boy Scouts or some such group. They suffered a knock down in a violet gust and all the kids slid to the lee side, pushing the boat far enough down to allow water into the open companion way. The son did not remove the wet interior cushions and mold/mildew ruined them. I find that the boat has endured considerable neglect and some careless use, but will be fine with some TLC.

one lucky potter owner. VERY smart in wearing that life vest! another example of the importance of a safety device. i've always been more worried about the dangers of a knockdown when sailing off the wind. there is no easy way to release the sails and de-power the boat. going to weather is much easier, IMO, as you can luff into the wind and/or release a sheet. dave scobie M17 #375 - SWEET PEA visit SWEET PEA's www-site - http://www.m17-375.webs.com --- On Thu, 5/20/10, htmills@zoominternet.net <htmills@zoominternet.net> wrote: Speaking of capsizes... http://bbs.trailersailor.com/forums/potter/index.cgi/noframes/read/88847 Tod Mills M17 #408, 1987 galley model BuscaBrisas

shifting ballast ... many a tall ship has sunk as a result. not cleaning up a boat ... i just don't get that behavior/attitude? good luck on your TLC projects. as montgomery boats are in production many of missing/broken 'pieces' are easy to purchase - thanks bob! dave scobie M17 #375 - SWEET PEA visit SWEET PEA's www-site - http://www.m17-375.webs.com --- On Thu, 5/20/10, Leighton Smith <wndsfr47@gmail.com> wrote: David, The story I was told was that the son of the owner was sailing the boat with number of Boy Scouts or some such group.
