Hi Keith glad to hear that there is another Monty owner in the Vancouver area . As near as I can figure there must be around ten to fifteen Monty 15-17 in the area . I'm in Steveston with a 15 # 321 that I've been working on and a mile down the road there is an other 15 sitting in a boat yard . So don't feel lonely we are out here . where are you planing to sail her KLaas From: Keith R.

I live in Burnaby, BC, Canada, ( a suburb of Vancouver). After a year long search I am thrilled to have just completed purchase and brought home to Canada my dream boat a 1982 M17,? hull # 353,? "Serenity". I am an electronics engineer by profession and have been a sailing enthusiast for a good part of my life. I served the last 10 years of a 25 year tenure with Scouts Canada running a Sea Scout Troop with a fleet ranging from 8 ft sabots up to a? 24 ft fixed keel sloop. Having "done my time" with the Troop, I had been looking over the past year for an affordable, but CAPABLE boat for personal use to do some solo coastal cruising here in BC ( my wife Liz is a little like a cat, she likes to drink water, not so crazy about riding on it so I am going to be on my own a good bit of the time). After months of research, a lot of it available thanks to this strong Monty user community I set my sights on an M17. After 8 months of looking I found "Serenity". A little bit about "Serenity"... From what I gather she has spent a good part of her life in Arizona, sailing fresh water, with a few trips to the Sea of Cortez. The owners that I purchased her from have been sailing her on Lake Pleasant AZ just north of Phoenix. The owners previous to them were apparently located in Tuscon AZ. She is the 4 berth version and appears to be in nearly stock configuration with no modifications. I am looking forward to getting her out in the chuck for a couple of shakedown day sails in the near future. That's all for now, I just wanted to introduce myself and to say thank you to this group of active owners who have provided so much information online, it really made a huge impact on my due diligence and selection process...

Chesapeake Bay Rendezvous opportunities
by Steve Lindeman 02 Sep '13

02 Sep '13

I have read some older posts about Chesapeake Bay Montgomery owner get togethers. Do these events still exist? As a new M15 owner, I am interested in sailing with other local Montgomery sailors. I am able to travel to any location around the bay. I would also be willing to organize an event next year if others are interested. Thanks, Steve Lindeman 2009 M15 Sadie Lee
