Re: M_Boats: M-15 Boat Review & request for submission guidelines
by IDCLLC＠aol.com 14 Jun '04

Hurray! I've been waiting for your mag to review the M-15 for years. Can't wait. Unfortunately, I don't own a Monty, I'm just an enthusiastic fan. Incidentally, I'm working on a homebuilt Micro cruiser design. I think a story about it would make a good article for SCA. How do I get guidelines for a submission?

Thanks, I just got one at CostCo. Not bad price. They are two to a pack and are only $14.00 dollars. More later. ---Larry in Sacaramento. -----Original Message----- From: William B.

It only takes 5 minutes to step the mast, and another 5 to take it down.

First, it's lightweight, making it much, much easier to pull on and off the boat. Second, its rectangular shape allows the ends to be open, which provides plenty of ventilation. I tie it down at the bow, stern, and amidships. I think my tarp is 12'x16'. The silver, heavy duty tarps last about twice as long as the light duty blue ones, here in Tennessee. Works for me!

Tod, I am looking for the best storage cover for an M-15 I will soon have, I hope. This would be for storage outside in all weather as I can not keep it at home. Do you know of websites where I might start looking for such an item? Damn the cost.......Thanks, Larry in Sacramento. _______________________________________________ http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/montgomery_boats _______________________________________________ http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/montgomery_boats

I should be towing an M-15 (which will need some work) back to Sacramento in 8 days or so. -------L. -----Original Message----- From: IDCLLC(a)aol.com [mailto:IDCLLC@aol.com] Sent: Friday, June 11, 2004 8:32 AM To: montgomery_boats(a)mailman.xmission.com Subject: Re: M_Boats: boom tent In a message dated 6/10/2004 9:55:55 AM Central Standard Time, Larry.Hughston(a)dgs.ca.gov writes: Thanks Steve, I can do that. Now, describe exactly what a "trucker's hitch" is. Do you mean the rachet adjustable devices with nylon straps? They usually are about 13 feet in length. Actually, all you need is rope or cordage. I use cheap 1/8" polyester braid; 4 or 5 feet is usually enough for this purpose at each fastening point. Fasten one end to the tarp with a bowline. Run the line around some bit of the trailer, etc. Then run it up to a loop made in the line and tie it off with a half hitch. The advantage is that it doesn't slip, is easy to undo, and gives you a 2 to 1 purchase when pulling it tight. You can even get the loop back out without much effort. It would be difficult to tell you exactly how to make this hitch with words alone. I suggest purchasing "The Complete Sailor" (International Marine) which has a small but very useful section on knots. The rest of the book is a delight. Check it out on Amazon.com. Incidentally, the most recent MAIB issue has some letters with diagrams that illustrate this very useful hitch.
