These are great boat buying/retrieving stories. I flew from Mpls to Vegas to inspect my M23 on Lake Mead. Fell in love at first sight and bought her. Flew back with a friend (old truck driver) 2 months later, rented a U-haul truck, loaded her on her trailer after checking all the wheel bearings, and 3 days later we were back in Mn for her new home. My M17 was much closer, only 250 miles away. (On Superior). Sailboats Inc was a dealer on Montgomery boats back in the 70's, so we do have a number of 15s and 17s around here.

April race near Sacramento

For you Sacatomato-area sailors I’m planning on entering my Sage in the Camillia Cup Regatta on the 18th and 19 of April at Lake Folsom, which is on the E end of town. I see by their website that an M-15 entered in the Portsmouth class. it’d be great if we could get a good turnout of wrinkleboats. For more information, the website is www.flyc.org/ Bernard?

I travelled from Minnesota to Vancouver Island to purchase my M17 -- 3450 miles roundtrip. The scenery was great. The drive was (mostly) relaxing. It was worth it - even the hassle of the border crossing. Think of it as a road trip vacation where you get to come home with more than a T-shirt.

Martin" <keith.richard.martin(a)gmail.com> wrote: Steve, I agree with Dave when shopping for a used Mboat, it can be tough to get a used Mboat that fits a person's criteria i.e. price, vintage, configuration, add ons, condition, etc., so if you find one that's on the right side of the continent it is probably worth considering. I live in Vancouver Canada but after a year of looking I selected and bought my boat (M17 "Serenity") in Arizona, she was in pristine condition, right vintage & configuration and met my budget (including $1500 in travel costs to pick the boat up). I found the pre-qualification process from distance was pretty easy using lots of questions by phone and pictures sent via email by the seller. From a travel time perspective it took 3 days (good weather in Sept) to get to Lake Pleasant AZ, and a day to inspect the boat and make a final decision to purchase. When I got there there were no surprises... It was then 4 long days back home (a little slower with the boat in tow), coming home we travelled up the middle Nevada via US 93 North of LAS Vegas then thru Oregon to the Columbia Gorge and home via the I5. This route took most of the big hills and mountain passes out of the equation. I suspect the trip would be a few hours shorter for Washington State folk... The way I see it hopefully the boat will be with this person for many years to come.... A long trip is easily forgotten with the passage of time. In my case I plan to either pass Serenity down in my will, or get buried at sea in her, as I foresee no circumstance where I would voluntarily part with her! So the trip for me was more than worth it! :) Cheers, Keith *Keith R. Martin, P.Eng.* *Burnaby, B.C.

Finding a Monty sailboat
by Karen & Smiley 27 Jan '15

27 Jan '15

Funny I read somebody complaining about distance to drive or pick up a good used Monty. I bought Stan Forseth M15 #616 from Duluth MN. Paid to have it shipped to Washington DC (about $1300 at the time or rising gas costs). Oh yeah sight unseen and within 16 hours of Stan posting the boat for sale as Stan had 3 more back up offers to mine, I was the first to call and inquire about the boat. I think Scobie is very spot on about what potential Monty buyers will do. Smiley M15 #616 Kensington MD

Montgomery 17 Sighting??
by Mike Z 27 Jan '15

27 Jan '15

Ok, cabin fever got to me and I was reading my copy of the Annapolis Book Of Seamanship. Lo and behold there is a picture of a 17 on page 62. (last copyright 1999) So my question... Is that Jerry bulling the stick up? The Dodge van made me think it might be. Monty 15 Mike ...who drove 2000 each way for the prettiest 15 you ever seen...

2015 WICR & R-T is in the books - Thanks to all participants!!

We're of the ones that almost made it there. Thanks for the report! David GrahBishop CaliforniaMontgomery 15 - Sky Date: Mon, 26 Jan 2015 16:25:34 -0500 From: GILASAILR(a)aol.com To: montgomery_boats(a)mailman.xmission.com Subject: M_Boats: 2015 WICR & R-T is in the books - Thanks to all participants!! Message-ID: <67150.6688b77.41f80ace(a)aol.com> Content-Type: text/plain; charset="US-ASCII" WrinkleBoat Sailors, A hearty Thank You to all the participants and folk who helped make the 2015 event a success! Thanks to the Arizona Yacht Club and the Race Committee for running a set of races to our requests - TLE.s adjusted per Fleet and our 'El Grande Tour Sprint' - well the breeze tried to cooperate but we had about 1/2 the course covered with breeze on Sunday morning - (why don't we start EARLIER??) Next year we will see what can be done - Nice beat up and around Horse and Balance Rock islands for most of the Fleet and one hellishly long slooowww runreachrunjibereachrunbeatrunotherjibe leg down to 'No Name Island' where the course was thankfully shortened by the best looking R/C boat with an 'S' flag I have seen in a month or two! Dinner was an improvement on Saturday night - our fearless Leader Mr. Jerry Montgomery (yeah the boat guy) and crew John Owens from Troup TX were awarded the Leukemia Cup trophy for Saturday's performance besting the fleet - congratulations and THANKS to all who supported the Leukemia/ Lymphoma Society. Someboy has offered up next years 'Private Label Fleet BBQ' - watch for details! Saturday was spectacular............weather for sitting on the porch reading a book in shorts and a t-shirt......not so great for sailing as high pressure dominated the region and 'Hoovered' all chance of a breeze for the most part! (whadda they say - you paz yer $ an takz yer chances) Paul Bear had his M-17S screamin' in the wind-void conditions until the end of the day - a bad start cost them the regatta! Sunday they recovered and won in the light stuff again. PaintBoy was instrumental in supporting yours truly with a pack of REAL Ding Dongs for Sat. lunch - you da man - were those InterLux Ding Dongs with Akzo No Speed Coating?? Marty B. - a newcomer to the event - showed moments of serious speed and gave Doug K and Bernard P. fits! All three met with success and TLE*s !! (Time Limit Expired - awarded to boats finishing later than 20 minutes behind the second boat to finish the race - lest we still be out there waiting for the second race to end!....-really) Scoring in the 15' Fleet was as close as we have had I believe - good tight racing (albeit SLOOOw) Phil McK and Dave S. duked it out - and Dave almost (twice on one leg) slapped the 'old man' down a notch - -but treachery and old age prevailed again over youth and skill - Gerry W. showed some excellent speed and would da been a contender - - but Sunday had other plans for him and his good looking 17 that did not include 'yacht drifting' ! Nice job gents - and Mary!! Phil and Mary supported the Fleet with their cheery persona - a woman's touch and some damn good home brew - Go Boise State! The Glesser's sailed well and we hope to see them in a New Boat for 2016!! Marty Chokany - ex employee of Monkey Yachts and Thee Sailing Stooges back in 'the day' - when MOST great and some < than great were built on 17th, & 18th streets 'hood of Costa Mesa - was my crew for the weekend - We had met 30 years earlier when Marty was delivering boats to the family biz - but we hit it off again and had a great time 'skidding' around the lake! Marty was excellent at 'focus' when my complacency would reign - Marty would perk up and say -' lets try this' and away we would squirt for 8 or 10 feet! A great addition to my sailing & friends -Thanks Marty! - we'll have a helmet for you next time (Marty is kinda tall !!) To those that had plans that didn't quite work - we missed you, and hope to see you out next time! Thanks to Dave Scobie, Sage Marine, Montgomery Rigging, Spyderco Knives for your support and assistance in rounding up the 'chickens - Rubber Chickens!' Henry Rodriguez and his bride stopped by and visited - Doug K was kind enough and sacrificed ALL his speed on Saturday by taking Henry out for the 'white knuckle ride' on his M-15GK! Thanks to Doug for making a visitor feel welcome!! Good to see you again Henry!! Nels and Diane were in attendance, up on the hill in the coach - drinking adult beverages and playing cards watching from afar - I got a daily report! BTW - Marty kept me awake and had the boat moving most of the time to allow us to finish second,second,second - which was good enuf for first - Thanks and -Way to go Marty! (Jerry M and Paul B. each had First Place finishes for the weekend - good job mates.) CLose racing - SLOW but close - see the scoring - pretty da*M close heh? Thanks to All the Fleet - you make the event. NewsFlash - Next Year the event will be the WashboardBoat Intergalactic Championship Regatta as the patriarch of the Fleet says - 'yeah I do my wash on the topsides every once in awhile.' - this works great as the WICR &R-T acronym need not be modified....there will be a Private Fleet BBQ - possible Rendezvous - we will see what happens. Smile, Have Fun, Go Sailing, Thanks Again GO Results at _www.wrinkleboat.webs.com_ (http://www.wrinkleboat.webs.com) See "2015 Results" 'got Rubber Chicken?'
