M Boaters, Some info I found on the RF-246 (Rosborough) forum. One of our former M23 owners now has a RF-246 and I thought this might be of interest for those who have/want solar power Regards Gary Valetti M-17 Bellerin

Hi Rick, and the whole M gathering, Years ago I found a great "How To" book that is a bible if you want to make / alter / add to your vessels. The title is: Practical Yacht Joinery Fred P. Bingham Published by; International Marine Publishing Camden, Maine ISBN 0-087742-140-4 Starting on page 220 he goes into the problems of building and fitting hatches, giving you several methods. It may be out of print, but perhaps AMAZON might find a copy for you. Connie

Thanks Rick, I appreciate that, but it's ok,,,really. Obviously there is a limited market for something like the Monty Mug and not that many were sent out. Only a small portion of them seem to be affected. So, there's not a lot of high finance involved and I have absolutley no problem correcting the issue. To any of you guys out there, please don't hesitate to ask for a new mug(s) if you think yours has a problem. I wouldn't have it any other way. To those of you who feel like Rick, and I've heard from a number of you, thank you. I appreciate the "you're one of us feeling". It's great to be assosciated with such a classy group of people. I am eager to get "Dauntless" on the water, traveling around, and start meeting all of you. It looks as though we are going to offer t-shirts and maybe some hats. I spoke with Bob Eeg this afternoon and sent some artwork to him for his approval. So it is important to me for all of you to know that if we do make some other kind of Monty product that we will make it of the best quality we can and stand behind it. Making specialty items like this in small quantities causes them to be fairly high priced per item. I know I want a quality item and a company provides great customer service when I spend my money and that's what we are going to strive to provide. Sean

To those out there just a thought on the mug issue! I don't think initiative and honest hard work should be rewarded by transferring the return shipping costs, after all the supplier must sent them back to you, right?. Sorry if I'm sticking my nose into an issue that is none of my business, but its not like we are dealing with some mega-corporation. This guy is one of us, and I certainly don't want to discourage any one who makes cool stuff with my Monty on it weather it is tee shirts, mugs or ????. Oh...I better stop and get off my high horse....I must be on some kind of caffeine buzz. It's just that I can't put my cool mug down. Thanks for listening. Rick Raven M23 #017

Are your mugs OK???

Hey folks. If you purchased some Monty Mugs please read this. I recieved a handfull of emails indicating that there were some Monty Mugs that went out that had problems in the microwave and in dishwashers. I personaly had a mug that also had a a problem and have been working with the manufacturer to see why. After returning a number of mugs and pictures back to them for their analysis, it appears that some of the mugs in the first run were "under fired". After application of the artwork the mugs are fired in a kiln at 1450 degrees for a specific time. This permanently bakes the artwork to the ceramic and cures the ceramic material. It appears that there may have been a problem with this process. The manufacturer has been very helpfull (although it would have been better had they got it right the first time) and forthcoming about the fact that there is a problem with some, not neccessarily all, of the mugs from the first batch. At my request they have agreed to replace any mugs which may be of suspect quality. I have a completely new order of mugs arriving today. If you are unhappy in any way with a mug that you recieved, please, please, please, email me and let me know. The cost of replacing the mug will be covered by the manufacturer and I will cover the shipping costs to replace your mug. I appologize for any inconvenience. It is very important to me that you are happy with the product. Please send the emails directly to me so as not to tie up the message board. nebwest2(a)aol.com Thanks, Sean

As I understand it, dishwashers use detergents that contain chlorine. It can bleach out ceramic colors not heat fixed or that are dye based. Hand wash your mugs, I mean your coffee mugs..... ---L.
