Hi all,

I am happy to post that I am now the (proud) new owner of "Pajarita," a 1974 Montgomery 17 previously owned by John Chalk. Woo hoo!

One picture attached - former owner John Chalk to viewer's right, me to left.

Red hull no less. Or maybe orange originally - there are some small rub spots where a sort of mid-70's-trendy orange appears to show through the redder (and faded here and there) color, and what appears to be a thin layer of gray (primer?) between the two.

I'll have more questions soon for those of you who own, or have owned, a similar vintage M-17, as I sort out what is original and what is modified and what I might want to modify. And, she is ready to sail as-is!

cheers, John S.
