Hey Bill...Yep there was an M15. Fuh-Shing is one of the most devoted Socal Potters there is. I don't think he misses a sail,...ever!. You'll see him and Shi-lan, his beautiful wife aboard "Panasea". The only open water shots I got of them are from a distance and the video is VERY shaky as I was zoomed in ( a no-no) and Daunltess' motion was too much for me to compensate. There are some still shots of them at the end, too.

Gary, The name of the song is "Illusions and Dreams" by Poets of the Fall. I saw another video about ice skaters using "Kitewings" that used the song and I loved it...so I stole the idea! Glad you enjoyed it...I always enjoy sharing the sail! S

Great video, Sean. Wish I could do that trip sometime as well. Hey, looks like Jim Ellsworth was keeping pace with Dauntless really well in 'Grace'. One of these days I'll get down there with TwoCan and join-in. See any dolphin pods this time? -Neil

Video - "Dauntless" sails the Channel Islands area...

with the Socal Potters. Single handing Big D on a sail that ended up in about 18-20 knots, and required a headsail change and reef to be tucked in 3-4 foot swell at 5 seconds with wind chop on top . Good learning process for me. As always a caution: I make these videos for myself....they don't fit the model of "how to keep a youtube viewer's attention and are WAY too long. If you don't watch or don't make it through the whole thing....no worries.....but YES, I know that it is too long! hahaha enjoy _http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G9ZU9bbbAhU_ (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G9ZU9bbbAhU) S

M Boat sighting in North Channel
by Bill Wickett 30 Aug '11

30 Aug '11

Were any list members in the North Channel of Lake Huron in the last couple of weeks? While at the town dock in Little Current we were asked by another boater if we had been anchored at Heywood Island. He had seen a Monty in the anchorage there and had tried hailing him on the VHF, but no answer. It wasn't us, as we did not stop there this trip. Just wondering who we might have had the opp to chat with. Met up with a couple of Suncats. Bill Wickett Makin' Time M17 #622

Re: M_Boats: Sail Sizes and Features

Those V-tailed Bonanzas are an interesting design. IIRC they had their share of ADs. Alas all I ever got to ride in was the Cessna 172 and a Piper Cub trainer whose trim tab was controlled by a bungee cord. Fond memories of flying up from LA to the Watsonville Air Show. On another note: just sailed Carquinez Strait with the NorCal Potters this past weekend. Unbelievably nice weather on Saturday, Sunday was wet 'n wild. I ha d the only MBoat this time. Lots of trip pics on the WWP trailer sailor forum, look for "Benecia" -Neil -----Original Message----- From: jerry <jerry(a)jerrymontgomery.org> Sent: Tuesday, August 30, 2011 7:27 AM To: For and about Montgomery Sailboats <montgomery_boats(a)mailman.xmission.com> Subject: Re: M_Boats: Sail Sizes and Features Don MaKibbon retired in the late 80's.

Although I consider them very well made sails, I have not used my boat that much over the years so that is more likely why they have held up so well. I have a main, working jib (100%) , and a jenny (150%) that sheets outside the shrouds. It is my understanding that McKibbin is long gone from the sail making industry. They were in Newport Beach/Costa Mesa, CA area. Mike Hall [The entire original message is not included]
