I know you're busy this time of year, Bob. Can you give us a brief update of what's in the molds and on the shop floor? (Of course I'm most interested in hearing about that midwest-destined 23...) Wayne Saewyc
Darn I thought adding a bimini top for my 1976 m17 was going to be easy. Don, I studied the pictures dutifully, and when I started searching, the measurements were not to bad, the materials (3 different kinds) were not to cryptic, and finally choosing a color. Goodness what a selection. But I really got stumped on the placement of mounts. I noticed the M-15s in the pictures did not have a winch, I have 2 on each side. And If the shade is to far forward or too far back hmm....how about the stainless package, I dont think its absoulutly necessary but all my sailing is in salt water. Add 60.00+ to the bill, any comments on or "shoulda have done it differentlys"? gilbert ----- Original Message ----- From: "Wayne Saewyc" <saewyc@saewyc.net> To: <montgomery_boats@mailman.xmission.com> Sent: Wednesday, September 08, 2004 1:44 PM Subject: M_Boats: Montgomery Offshore 23

I added a bimini to my Hunter 23 (previous boat) and put it on a track, best idea I've ever had. The track gives you a lot of flexibility in locating the thing, either to optimize the shade or to get the thing out of your way when it's down Wayne ----- Original Message ----- From: "Gilbert Landin" <gilbert@mindgame.com> To: "For and about Montgomery Sailboats" <montgomery_boats@mailman.xmission.com> Sent: Wednesday, September 08, 2004 9:51 PM Subject: Re: M_Boats: Montgomery Offshore 23

Wayne. We are busy.....with all our boats. 15s, 17s and the 23. People love those bronze opening ports on the M_17. Just finished a few dinghys as well. The Montgomery 7-11 (almost 8 feet long) is also a good looking boat. Anyone that wants to see the 7-11 ...? Or the Bronze ported, tan bark sails M_17? I can send a jpeg of the 7-11 or the M_17... email me directly.... Nice lines..... Fair winds Bob (949) 489-8227 Wayne Yeargain wrote:

Tod, Thanks for the link. The pics have given me the motivation to continue working on my M17 this winter. Bottom paint, new hatch boards, weld tang on center board... -alw At 06:01 PM 9/10/2004, you wrote:

*grin*.....now that you are so motivated, Al, you are perfectly welcome to come help me with this colossal mess I've gotten myself into, in case you breeze through your 17's work. ah, the benefits of staying with a smaller boat. What WAS I thinking? Oh, yeah....the 26 is for long-term sailing. If it weren't for that, I'd have never bought her.
