I'm pretty sure brand new boats have been shipped with Ida Sailor rudders , so that would make them legal under the proposed rules.

Re: M_Boats: moorage Puget Sound? An Introduction

Puget Sound Sailors, I have observed that a group of Montgomery and Westwight Potter sailors assemble each August at Swantown Marina in Olympia on South Puget Sound. Am hoping to join you this year. Was at the Swantown Marina to pay my rent this morning and inquired about overnight moorage at the guest dock for sailors who usually arrive the day before and moor overnight. Saturday August 30 is the first day of Labor Day weekend, and the guest dock reservations are nearly full. The lady in the office who does reservations advised that if any of you who are planning to moor overnight have not already made your reservation that time is of the essence, and reservations should be made by this Friday Ausut 15. Their phone is (360) 528 - 8049 Steve M-15 # 335 ----- Original Message ----- From: "John" <squeaks47(a)earthlink.net> To: "stevetrapp" <stevetrapp(a)q.com> Sent: Monday, August 11, 2014 7:00 AM Subject: Re: M_Boats: Puget Sound?

John, Thanx for the information. I would like to join the Montgomery group with my M-15 group in Olympia for a day sail going or coming on Saturday August 30, and/or Saturday September 13. I do know from experience that the boat launch in downtown Olympia at Swantown is much more user friendly at hightide and not very user friendly at low tide. So I will suggest that you try to do your launching and outhauling around the time of high tide, which will be at 9:26 AM on the 30th, then at 9:48 AM on the 13th. Do you have Puget Sound tide tables and charts?

Beatrice is in Alameda
by Richard Conn 11 Aug '14

11 Aug '14

Thanks to the two of you who responded to my appeal. Turns out I had to move my other boat also, Fantasy, a 33 foot Prout cat. So a neighbor and I hooked Beatrice to the end of a tow line. It took us a little over 12 hours. Sorry I didn't get any pictures. I was very glad we weren't aboard the little Monty as we towed her past the gate. Glad she'll have a new life sailing out of the Alameda estuary with my son and grandkids. Richard

Oakland Estuary Ramps
by David Grah 08 Aug '14

08 Aug '14

In a few weeks we're taking our Montgomery 15 to the Delta and to San Francisco Bay for a couple of overnight outings. I grew up sailing out of Berkeley, and have sailed our Montgomery out of Berkeley before. Sailing out the Oakland Estuary sounds like a fun change. The thing is I am not familiar with the ramps in the Oakland Estuary nor their advantages and disadvantages, especially when planning to park a vehicle and trailer overnight. Maybe the parking at some ramps gets full sometimes too. Would anyone familiar with ramps in the Oakland Estuary be so kind as to share their thoughts? Thanks!

M15 dinghy options
by David Grah 08 Aug '14

We have used a Sevylor-type inflatable for our Montgomery 15. It inflates and deflates within a minute or two with an electric inflator, and fits in the port lazarette. It is not great in challenging conditions or to tow yet we find we used it a lot. David Grah Bishop California Montgomery 15 - Sky Date: Thu, 7 Aug 2014 10:58:12 -0700 From: Tyler Backman <casioqv(a)usermail.com> To: For and about Montgomery Sailboats <montgomery_boats(a)mailman.xmission.com> Subject: M_Boats: M15 dinghy options Message-ID: <F83C2E26-E5E1-4E25-80C6-ECC5BEE38838(a)usermail.com> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii What do you guys use for a dinghy while cruising/gunkholing in your M15? I've used Sevylor inflatables in the past, but they pop easy and take a long time to fill and empty. I am considering building the Wooden Widget Fliptail 7 folding dinghy, as it should fold up into half of the cabin, and sets up in 1 minute. I was thinking it might be possible to also design the sail rig for it so that it could take my M15 85% jib, allowing for double purpose: http://www.woodenwidget.com/fliptail.htm Tyler Dsvis, CA M15 #157 "Defiant"
