"nearly new" M23
by Brian Gilbert 01 Oct '06

01 Oct '06

Hi Bill: The only nearly new M23s are going to be at the factory... there are only a handful in existence, and most of those aren't for sale... as far as I know, anyway... and none are "nearly new." They're nice boats!

I just recognized your name, Brian. You're the "Fix it and Sail" guy, right? Guess you know what you're getting into. Probably even have several cost saving methods. Good luck.

Don't know anything about the RK20, but I do know (first hand <grin>) that buying a boat that needs work is NOT a way to save money! Even a modest amout of restoration adds up fast. Of course, with a Monty, it's worth it. Most other boats.... not even close.

braided nylon size/ stowing boom in cabin rigged

Thanks, Jerry, is that true for a 1985 M15 as well? I'm sure what came with it is larger than 3/16 for the main. That one doesn't matter as much, though, because of the kind of jamming cleat it has (is there some other name for those that I have forgotten?) The jib sheets are slipping through the existing cleats because of wear but they could be 3/8. Bobbie

Hi Barry, I sold my M15 to a young couple in Montpelier, VT, so that is one that you could probably visit and inspect, without too long a drive. You can reach them at: marthawales(a)hotmail.com Give them my regards, and pet Nimrod, their cat. Connie ex M15 LEPPO An M15 is a wonderful boat, ..........!
