You're talking about Mike Mann, who sailed from Newport Beach to Hawaii. He did write a book about it; I think SCA sells it. he came to the Wrinkle Boat regatta in Jan. He went to the Maritime Academy BEFORE sailing to HI, and was second in command but probably retired now; it was imminent. -----Original Message----- From: Conbert Benneck Sent: Monday, August 22, 2016 7:54 PM To: For and about Montgomery Sailboats Subject: Re: M_Boats: Honolulu..

Jazz, There was a guy back in the mid 2000's that had Bob build him a special modified M-17. He wanted to sail to Africa, I believe? His name was Willie? I read some various stories/posts about his trip/adventure on this site. The most recent was about someone auctioning off his boat for payment of long term storage fees. I believe this all happened in New Zealand? If someone is remembering this differently, please chime in and correct my memory.

Hi Jazz,
He left from San Diego and sailed to Hawaii in an M15. As soon as I can dig through my pile of debris on my desk I'll provide name; dates of voyage; and what happened.
He wrote a great book about his trip; and when he returned to the USA, he went to the Mariner's Academy in California, and today is a Captain of large ships traveling the high seas.

Hello, the book, "A Little Breeze to the West" is also available on Amazon. The "Little Breeze" is still sailing the water of the Big Island in Hawaii.

Yeah, some of us in the club were joking about getting it donated to the Hilo Sailing Club... :-) Not sure who owns it now, on the island, but when it was for sale a handful of years ago on the Big Island (and I was still living there most of the time) I did talk to the people who had it for sale. Never saw it out sailing anywhere though. THe asking price was, for the economy there or just in general for an '83 M15, astronomically high, they were asking something over $8K as I recall. Some pics of Strawanza, the modified M17 that's in NZ now, were posted here quite a while back. cheers, John S. Michael Mann wrote:
