North Channel Cruise
by htmills＠bright.net 02 Nov '06

02 Nov '06

I'm planning on a two week North Channel Cruise in mid June. I'll probably drive from Ohio to Tobermory, take the Chi-Cheemaun ferry over to South Baymouth (Manitoulin Island), and then drive to Little Current (Manitoulin Island) on Saturday June 5th. I might end up taking the ferry on the morning of the 6th depending on how late I hit the road. At the present time I'm thinking of making a general counter clockwise spin around the North Channel, launching at Spider Bay Marina in Little Current and going north and then west to the Bustard Islands and west and then crossing south to the west end of Manitoulin and returning east again. Of course, all plans are subject to the weather and whims of the person at the helm! Mid June will probably be a bit ahead of the crowd and still kinda nippy. There is some info on the area at: http://www.continuouswave.com/north-channel/ and here: http://www.continuouswave.com/sail-logs/ If anyone else is planning on a trip up there, perhaps we can meet up!

Does anyone have any information on the M12, such as the weight of the boat? (Brochure-type info.) Bobbie

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

Speaking quickly before Randy gets a chance to give the correct answer, I think it's a loop only in the sense that it's a single line. The downhaul end of the halyard connects to the second or so sail hank, and the shackle attaches to the head of the sail. My experience is I have to connect the downhaul at least two sailhanks down from the head of the sail to prevent fouling when pulling the sail down... t Tom Smith & Jane Van Winkle M17 #496 -----Original Message----- From: montgomery_boats-bounces+tsmith=nextit.com(a)mailman.xmission.com [mailto:montgomery_boats-bounces+tsmith=nextit.com@mailman.xmission.com] On Behalf Of Rick Langer Sent: Wednesday, June 28, 2006 10:36 AM To: montgomery_boats(a)mailman.xmission.com Subject: M_Boats: Poor man's roller furling... Hey Randy, I think that's a great idea. How do you attach the halyard shackle to the loop?

Monty T-shirts and Sweatshirts

All Monty T's and Sweats are shipping today if you placed your order. Unfortunately, I made an error on the ordering and omitted one customers T and sweatshirt. My Mistake. So...since I am going to have to have the shop re-set the screens again to print those up, you can still order a sweat or T if you like. There are now actual pictures of the t's and sweats on the website at http://pic1.funtigo.com/havasumontgomerys/?g=24414161&cr=1 I think they came out really nice and I think everyone will be happy with them. Let me know ASAP if you would still like to order one. I will be placing the order on Tuesday in order to correct my omission of one of the orders as quickly as possible. Now that all the artwork, screens, etc. is done, it should only take about two weeks to get the next batch. Thanks Sean

Thanks, I'd sure like to see a 15. I had about given up hope of seeing one in the midwest. I'd certainly be willing to drive to see one. DAVID O. RUDD Gallatin River Communications L.L.C. 625 S. Second St., Springfield IL 62704 (217) 744-2420 Fax (217) 744-2421
