Re: M_Boats: fixed gooseneck on a 1979 M17
Henry: does the boat not have a tabernacle? or is the tabernacle on the boat damaged? -- :: Dave Scobie :: former M15 owner - www.freewebs.com/m15-named-scred :: M17 #375 SWEET PEA - www.m17-375.webs.com On Thu, Apr 2, 2015 at 10:28 AM, Henry Rodriguez <heinzir@gmail.com> wrote:
Jerry, On another subject, can you tell me the optimum height above the base of the mast to mount a fixed gooseneck on a 1979 M17? Stock boom, stock mast, OEM spec sails, main luff 19'. I can't raise the mast to check distances/clearance until the boat is in the water (too many overhanging tree branches in my yard) but I would like to get the gooseneck installed before then. Thanks!

Mast step/tabernacle is ok. I was referring to the mast-boom connection. I want to replace the sliding gooseneck with a fixed one. -----Original Message----- From: "Dave Scobie" <scoobscobie@gmail.com> Sent: 4/2/2015 11:34 AM To: "For and about Montgomery Sailboats" <montgomery_boats@mailman.xmission.com> Subject: Re: M_Boats: fixed gooseneck on a 1979 M17 Henry: does the boat not have a tabernacle? or is the tabernacle on the boat damaged? -- :: Dave Scobie :: former M15 owner - www.freewebs.com/m15-named-scred :: M17 #375 SWEET PEA - www.m17-375.webs.com On Thu, Apr 2, 2015 at 10:28 AM, Henry Rodriguez <heinzir@gmail.com> wrote:
