Hey everyone! I’m Brandon, from Northern California. I race on J24s and am looking at Montgomery 17s. I’m in awe of the reputation and well thought out interior. I’ve been “boat shopping” for years while enjoying racing with OPBYC — Other People’s Boats Yacht Club. I’m really eager to see a Monty 17 in person. If anyone in NorCal would be open to letting me take a look... I could come by and help launch her, etc if I could just get a look at the rigging, the interior and ask a few questions? I think I found a good Monty 17 in the PNW but don’t want to drive up to buy her until I get to see one firsthand; ya know? Thank you all for the pictures and information... what an amazing site! -- Brandon Mercer Cell Phone: (415) 636-1912 brandonmmercer@gmail.com https://www.linkedin.com/in/mercerbrandon
There is a good deal on a 17 in Silverton,OR, an hour south of Portland. I was looking at it but bought a 15, easier to launch 🚀 n mountain lakes. Ed Sent from my iPhone

Hey Brandon, Where are you in Nor Cal? If you don't get any better offers, come up to Reno. It's a little past the sailing season up here, but I'll be glad to drag my 2010 M17 Poppy out of storage and step the mast so you can look her over. I'll be back in town most weekends in November. We did the 2019 Salish 100 (and applied for the 2020) and spent 2 weeks on her on Lake Tahoe last month. I've also sailed other boats quite a bit on SF Bay and I think she'll do well with the strong winds down there. Yes, they're a fine little boat overnight for one or two. Three of four for day sailing. Les On Tue, Oct 22, 2019 at 9:04 AM Brandon Mercer <brandonmmercer@gmail.com> wrote:

Great feedback, Les! Thank you so much. I'm really excited to see one first hand. If I can't find someone here, I may take you up on that one of these months.

Welcome Brandon... I'm assuming you're in the Bay area, so Les is quite a bit closer than me, but I've got one up here just over the border into Oregon, in Ashland. If you're up this way you can take a look at mine on the hard. cheers, John On 10/22/19 6:20 PM, Brandon Mercer wrote:
