Dulcibella arrived in good shape
by David Fann 14 Mar '03

14 Mar '03

The truck carrying Dulcibella, my shiny new Montgomery 17, reached Gainesville (FL) late this afternoon. Boat and trailer are in excellent condition. We started getting compliments even as the unloading proceeded in a mall parking lot. At home, we found she is just a hair too large for the garage. On to Plan B for storage... Now for some boat rigging. The mast/boom package was nicely bubble wrapped, so tomorrow will be like an early Christmas, with presents to open. Thanks, Montgomery Boats! David Fann M17 Dulcibella

Re: M_Boats: First test sail - guess I'll be buying a centerboard
by Conbert H Benneck 02 May '02

Steve, I have the same bulkhead that you see. It keeps thing in place in the sail locker. This bulkhead - about 1 foot high is located on both sides of the boat. My port sail locker, however, has a wall on the inside side, i.e., going from the side of the cockpit seat wall to the bottom of the hull. This keeps thing in the sail locker from rolling under the cockpit sole, and disappearing forever! Now that I cut out the starboard side shallow locker, there is no wall down there. All that is located there are the styrofoam flotation logs. So, the new storage area is only good for large, easily reached and grabbed objects; which is why I have my Bimini, my extra cushions, boarding ladder, etc. stored there. Incidentally, I drilled holes on each end of the shallow locker; threaded about an 1/8th inch line through the holes, put on a piece of plastic tubing as a handle, and tied off the lines on the outside of the shallow locker. This way, I have readily accessible handles for lifting out the locker when I wan to get at the "goodies" that are stored underneath. If you are thinking of doing this modification, let me know and I'll give you more detailed instructions on how I did it. No sense of reinventing the wheel!

Hi Eugene, Good to hear from you. With this warm weather we've been having, do you spot any icebergs on your patrols? Enjoying the cod tongues in Newfoundland? It sounds as if you're organizing a mini-rendevous in the New London - Mystic area for M-sailors. I'll participate too!

John, I'm sure Connie will bring his 15 down, and the Metcalf's who bought Seth's 15 might join us, then we'd be 2 17's and 2 15's........A virtual Renedevous! And there is a place we can anchor North of Mystic Seaport. Plus I can give you a 'land toour' if the weather goes bad. Actually this invitation is for sailors of ANY brand sailboat, the more the merrier :) Great State of the Union Address if I say so from a Military Man's perspective, sure to boost moral in the troops, Eugene Whoa Nellie M17, Old Mystic, CT __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

by Randy Watkins 29 Jan '02

29 Jan '02

Texas sailors , vistors welcome! Hello fellow sailors, I've had discussions with some different sailors and a few group sails have been discussed for consideration. I thought I'd put these out to give you time to consider, comment on and perhaps recommend a date / location. 1. Jan. 19/20- Choke Canyon, Tx ( fairly close to Corpus Christi, Tx ) http://www.tpwd.state.tx.us/park/choke/ cruise leader- Louis Cisnero ( this one has alreadt taken place, it was fun, large lake, not crowded, I'd like to revisit ) This is a new site for me and a few of us are sailing / camping there this weekend. 2. Feb. 2 Texas A&M Sailing Club / Brazos Valley Sailing Club- group sail cruise leader- John C. Lofgren location: Lake Somerville, Tx http://www.tpwd.state.tx.us/park/lakesome/lakesome.htm 3. March-open 4. April- There are plans forming for a group sail at Canyon Lake, Tx. The Canyon Lake Yacht Club ( CLYC )is interested in helping promote / sponsor a small boat gathering. Cruise contact: Jim Williams ( CLYC member ) http://swf67.swf-wc.usace.army.mil/canyon/RecParks.htm 5. May-open I'll be in the Kemah / Clear lake area the week of May 20-24 for business and am planning putting the boat in the water for the week. Come and join me for a day or two, sail in the bay, local area. http://www.seabrook-shipyard.com/ 6. May- or June Sabine Lake? 7. I'm looking forward to hearing your ideas.

Thanks, Larry, I had seen that post also, but my boat is the more recent version with the teak toerail and no attachment points on it.
