Re: M_Boats: M23 'Windward Skunk'

according to my source, a long time M17 sailor in AZ and Mexico, she remains in AZ (can't remember the city). owner started a refit and modifications to make her a cruising boat. refit has been 'stalled' for about 10 years. the boat is 'somewhat' for sale. price is high for her condition and that she is racing boat with little space or comfort one would want for a cruising 23 foot boat. for those not aware 'Windward Skunk' is an M23 with a modified keel ... yes she is a Stan 'paintboy' Susman creation ... M15 cockpit and house, flush deck and has her top 'lapstrake' removed (less freeboard than the other 19(ish) M23s). link to a page with pictures of the boat - http://www.msogphotosite.com/M23Skunk.html jerry wrote about 'Windward Skunk' in his SMALL CRAFT ADVISOR article a few years ago ... maybe sept/oct 2006 (issue #41)???? > don't tell me somebody on this list owns her. her owner was a list member ... hasn't posted i years. :: Dave Scobie :: Sage Marine - www.sagemarine.com --- On Thu, 4/5/12, Tom Smith <openboatt(a)gmail.com> wrote: > > ...whatever happened to Windward > Skunk.

Jerry, you have no idea how many doodads (technical term) that Eldor has attached to our boats. He LOVES to drill holes! must be the machinist in him. In a message dated 4/5/2012 1:57:29 A.M. Central Daylight Time, jerry(a)jerrymontgomery.org writes: That's one of my masts, Eldor, and all the riveted stuff is held on with stainless! Another thing, most of your sailing is done on fresh water. jerry ----- Original Message ----- From: <eisenee(a)aol.com> To: <montgomery_boats(a)mailman.xmission.com> Sent: Wednesday, April 04, 2012 6:25 PM Subject: Re: M_Boats: Pop rivets? I have been using aluminum pop rivits on all my boats for the last 40 years and don't remember one ever failing. And if something is going to fail I would rather have the rivit break then to have a large hole torn into the boom or mast.

I am curious about Tom's comment on stainless pop rivets. I used to use stainless self taping screws. Over 10 years of use, often in altwater, they fused to the boom and were not easily removable and the esulting larger hole was not useable. I switched to aluminum pop rivets as thier strength seems to be well in xcess of the need on small boats like ours. There does not seem to be any need or advantage to stainless pop rivets.

PLEASE don't respond to sender when you want to post a response, it just repeats all the treads. Its simpler and cleaner to start a new thread with your response. Easier to read and comprehend. As an example I started a new thread rather than just hit respond to sender. MANY thanks for taking a minute to get this. Smiley, M15 Another Wrinkle #616 magoo252(a)comcast.net
