Hey TT, I rode my bike by the Snake a few years back as well. On a BMW then, now I'm on my Guzzi when not on my M23. Love both sports. Later, Bones

Wow, it's only been 3 days, and we already have 11 boats on the San Juan list. Haven't heard from several of the regulars yet, so I'm sure the list will grow. Good to see several new names this year. If you're not on this list, but want the San Juan group e-mails and a say in the planning, let me know and I'll get you signed up.

Jerry, Thank you very much for your prompt reply. I was able to contact Sam at Sky-Pole. He gave me specs. for the mast: diameter is 1.860 inches. The mast heal and hole above it through which the mast passes is 2 inches in diameter. Is this correct fit for the mast? Should the boom be fixed or allowed to rotate on its collar? Thank you, Bert Felton

Hydeaway 2 Racing Photos...

Hi ALL, Gary Hyde sent a couple of photos taken this last September at the Snake River (Idaho) Tribune Cup Race. Excellent shots taken by a person named Philip Shinn with his Nikon D70. Look to the bottom of Gay's album.. Best to start at the "What's New" Page... http://www.msogphotosite.com/WhasNew.html Look at the other craft in the photos: A Catalina 27 with reefed main and small jib, the lightning quick tri-hull with the jib removed (full batten Main though) and here comes Gary with his friend Richard Huggins at the helm, full main and the CDI furled (just a little) - Rail down and flying... great photos.

Thanks for the thoughtful replies

The attached jpg is the one I have as wallpaper at work. It is the type of spot on nearby lakes I would most likely frequent in central Alabama, although I will spend vacation time near the Pensacola - Mobile area, and then after retirement in 5 years, further down the Florida coast. This photo shows two M-15s pulled right up to the bank, but there is an M-17 in the background anchored stern toward the bank, as was recommended in one response. I guess the board up draft is not as important for shallow water as the total boat weight and the board down draft. I appreciate the warning about shells and rocks getting stuck in the centerboard well. I think my kayak has spoiled me; I enjoy cruising along close to nature in 6" of water a couple of feet from the bank. But I can travel further in more safety with less effort and get away from the sand when I sleep in a trailerable sailboat. Thanks for the responses; they have given me more to contemplate....

Larry and group, Wow, three M23's! I'm going to feel left out! Oh well, I'll be in the North Channel with Tod and a group of other proud Montyites. Bones

questions about Montgomery 7'11"
by Flickasf＠aol.com 07 Nov '06

Hello, I just purchased a 1979 Montgomery 7'11". I would like to know what the original mast and boom look like because mine look like they are home made. I would love some photos of the original. In addition, does any one have a two part mast for the 7'11"? Thank you, Bert PS I used to own a M 15 named Kokopelli. You may have seen my postings about 10 years ago. I currently own a Flicka and am going to use my new acquisition as a tender and to take to lakes.

Joe's Midnight Passage

Hi All, Joe was kind enough to send me photos and we now have a new album of some of his shots on the Photo Site. I used three of the shots taken before she was shipped and added them to the Montgomery Boats page and the rest I made into the album. Very pretty boat. Hey Joe, I feel for you... after the maiden voyage, having to put her away. Yes, it's going to be a long winter. To see Joe's M15, start at the What's New Page Go to: http://www.msogphotosite.com/WhasNew.html Bill www.MSOGPhotoSite.com

Bill, Thank you for your prompt reply. I also know Eric and I sailed with him on the bay once before buying my Flicka. I keep her in the Alameda Marina. Thanks again, Bet
