Bimini for Montgomery 15

Has anyone installed a bimini on their 15? If so what size and where did you purchase? Does it impede sailing? David

Bobby, how much gear do you carry?
by Bobbie Mayer 14 Nov '07

14 Nov '07

I pulled mine up from California to Washington a few years ago. The car was packed pretty full, and I had a few light items in the boat besides the motor. I didn't have a lot of gear- a small anchor, an oar, that's about it. Nothing adding much weight to the boat. Bobbie

Bob Becker and the Bay spill
by Flickasf＠aol.com 14 Nov '07

14 Nov '07

Hi Bob, I haven't had any experience with the spill although another boat out of Alameda was moored at Angel Island when the spill took place. He has some oil on his hull. I don't know how the oil effects the gel coat, but it is supposedly hard to get off. I am not going out on the bay until I am sure that I will not have a problem.

M-15 and Subaru
by John Gonzalez 14 Nov '07

14 Nov '07

Bert, I've been pulling my M-15 for three years now with my '04 Impreza (WRX STi). No need for brakes on the trailer, in my experience. Sincerely, John La Jolla, CA Bella (628)

Bobby, how much gear do you carry?
by Flickasf＠aol.com 14 Nov '07

14 Nov '07

Bobby, Thank you for the prompt response. What gear do you leave aboard and what do you end of carrying in your car? Where have you pulled your boat? We leave in the San Francisco Bay Area and will be towing into the Sierras, up the Columbia River, and the Wyoming. Thanks again, Bert ************************************** See what's new at http://www.aol.com

Has anyone pulled a M 15 with a Subaru?
by Bobbie Mayer 14 Nov '07

14 Nov '07

I pull mine with a 2000 Forester, it slows a bit over hills but not below 50. I have a manual transmission, though, so can just downshift for hills. No brakes needed if you haven't loaded the trailer up with more than the boat. Bobbie

San Francisco Bay
by Robert Becker 14 Nov '07

14 Nov '07

Has anyone been sailing in SF bay since the oil spill? As you probably know, a week ago a container ship "touched" the fender protecting one of the towers on the bay bridge and tore a gash in the hull that spilled 58,000 gallons of fuel into the bay. The tide flushed the spill into the north bay and out into the ocean, fouling beaches and killing sea life. A criminal investigation is ongoing. I have not been in a position to personally see if there are any sailboats on the bay, but from what I can tell from web cams, there is not much activity. I would think that if you encountered a blob of oil tar it would stick to the gel coat and, at the minimum, stain it, or even dissolve it. And cleanup would be difficult and a bit hazardous. Pictures of the volunteers on the beaches show them in hazmat bunny suits and gloves, but cleaning a boat on a trailer should not present too great a problem. The oil got into some marinas and some of the boats there were fouled, so they will be facing cleanup problems. I hear that ships now burn crude oil, so a spill has lots of nasty stuff in it. This may sound trivial in light of the magnitude of the problem, but I guess my questions are: does anyone have experience with the problem of oil spills and its effects on fiberglass boats, and have any of the locals been on the bay since the spill and how long are you planning to wait before going out? Thanks, Bob M15 #208 Castro Valley, CA Bob and Judy Becker bobjudy2(a)comcast.net
