I know several people on the list have constructed sail covers and sun shades and stuff like that. I'm sewing a couple things over the winter and I need recommendations on thread types and sources.

Archive update coming soon
by Doug King 28 Sep '03

28 Sep '03

For those of you bemoaning the fact that the list archive search has not been updated since March, take heart. I will have them up to date at the end of September. If you can hold off searching until then, you'll find that recent post that you vaguely remember. In other news, I've added several new features to the MSOG as listed at the bottom of the home page, including a picture story of Peter Deffenbacher's maiden sail on his truly new M-15 "Peanut", the latest discussions on Balsa cored surfaces and centerboard/pendant stuff, and a few other features.

Maine Update 2
by Saltm17＠aol.com 25 Sep '03

25 Sep '03

Well, I made it to Mystic CN in good shape. The whole time in Maine was fantastic with good weather (mostly) and great sailing. The only effect from Isabel was a nasty chop/swell out in the open water. One idle day was spent on a mooring in Sommes Harbor, due to dense fog (a great day for reading). Managed to sail alongside the big 4 masted schooner out of Bar Harbor - well at least for a short distance anyway. Sailed through all the Hinckley boats on moorings, beautiful, expensive, and seldom day-sailed. Ran into two guys who recognizedd Miss T as a Montomery and talked quite a bit about quality/price/class/cost of sailboats and we agreed on one thing for sure, the larger the boat, the less time spent actually sailing. There may be two new Montgomery owners shortly. Miss T will be launched tomorrow and the plan is to sail this area (Mystic - Nantuckett - Block Island and beyond) depending on weather. Then on to the Chesapeake.

Re: M_Boats: Pacific trailers for M15's

Check those LEDs before you install them. I have two sets, one in the regular position and one on top of the guides. The ones on top have several intermittent elements on the left side. Of course, they are the most difficult set to change and I took the last pair my dealer had. My trailer shows up very well at night. Bulldog has some nice looking marine trailer jacks on their website, but they do not have a dealer near me. I would like to see one in the flesh http://www.hammerblow.com/marine.html Steve R.
