huh...interesting... I didn't know that. Renaming the model after the name of the first one on the water's name seems a bit odd to me when the model is the M23 Offshore Cutter from the manufacturer... but hey..... whatever...that's just me. Now I know what your designation M23sc means. Learn something every day. :-) Thanks

Re: M_Boats: Pacific Trailer for a 23' - Different trailer...

Todd ... Looking further at your trailer....it may be an optical illusion of just the perspective of the picture, but it appears to me that your "v"' sections of the trailer have some radius to them??? If so...Pacific has changed it's trailer design since my trailer was built. My trailer has all straight sections welded into that V shape (it has a flat section under the keel so it's not a perfect V ). I wonder if they have changed frames and there is a slight difference that needs to be accounted for. I know I recently picked up a new M17 trailer...and it was all new with torsion axles instead of leafspring. Really nice design. They sell enough for M17s that I am sure that they are up on what changes needed to be made....but they only have made 3 or 4 M23 trailer in the last 10 years.....that may have slipped by them. Just a thought. S

Pacific Trailer for a 23'
by Todd Bradley 13 Aug '13

13 Aug '13

Sean, I am hoping you can provide some input here. I had Pacific Trailer build a trailer for my 23' using the template they had and I believe the one they used for your boat. When we went to set the boat on the trailer, the keel is about 4" from setting into the keel slot/cradle (see attached pictures). Looks like we will need to unbolt the posts that support the bunks and drill additional holes so we can lower the bunks further. I know you had to make some adjustments to the rear bunks but just curious if you ran into this? It is my understanding that a good portion of the weight should be resting on the keel? Thanks, Todd Bradley M-23 Ce Cee #86

New owner of a M-17
by Lpcorin 12 Aug '13

12 Aug '13

Just wanted to say hi. I just purchased a 1979 M-17, Hull #302. I'm located on Whidbey Island, WA and I'm looking forward to getting the boat out on the water. I'm hoping to join the group sailing next summer, assuming that there'll be another gathering of Montgomerys. I really enjoyed the photos and video from this last June's outing in the San Juans and Gulf islands. Lenny Corin, Orli, #302 Sent from my iPad

Hi Tom, Thanx for the info. I'm not in the market, but it's good to hear about people running a fair & proper business and having people recommend them. sal M15 #361 "Justus" In a message dated 8/11/2013 8:48:17 A.M.

I spent three days there putting together the boat I ended up with. He is gracious and pleasant to "swap yarns" with. He took me on a tour of his other boats, of which there are many. He is a private seller/collector and extremely fair in his dealings. I highly recommend doing business with this individual.

Fall Cruises East Coast
by Michael Murphy 07 Aug '13

07 Aug '13

East Coast Monty Sailors-- I have two 3-4 day cruises planned for September and October this year in coastal North Carolina. The Palace to Lighthouse Cruise is a 4 day trip of approx. 85 NM from the Colonial Governor's Palace near the Neuse River to the Lighthouse at Cape Lookout National Seashore. This trip involves large river sailing, an ICW passage, and threading a passage through low islands and tidal sandbars to an anchorage inside the Cape Lookout Bight. It is a one-way trip if a car shuttle can be arranged. Not many sailors take the safe, but interesting, Barden Inlet route to Cape Lookout so be one of the few & join us in the last half of September. The second trip is a cruise of towns & rivers on the Albemarle Sound. A 75 NM loop, on the Sound & the Perquimans, Yeopim, & Scuppernong Rivers, allows sheltered anchorages &/or complimentary dockage (+ free showers) at Edenton & Columbia NC, while Hertford & Mackays offers food, fuel, & liquid supplies. The Albemarle must be one of the least sailed major water bodies in North Carolina but one of the most scenic & historic . MAPTECH Chart 89 covers Albemarle Sound; Charts 90 & 91 cover the route from New Bern to Beaufort & Cape Lookout. On-line NOAA Charts 12205 (Albemarle) & 11545 plus 11552 (Neuse R , Beaufort, Cape Lookout are available) Send me a note or call for more information. Mike Murphy, M-15 Fionnula 703-859-1637
