WrinkleBoat Intergalactic Championship Regatta Thanks
by David Grah 18 Jan '16

18 Jan '16

We're home safe and sound after a great weekend at the WrinkleBoat Intergalactic Championship Regatta at Lake Pleasant Arizona where, in addition to some fun sailing, we picked up our new mast and boom for our Montgomery 15. If you were thinking of going to this event sometime you really should go at your next opportunity. It is a blast! Thanks to: Gary Oberbeck for organizing the WrinkleBoat Intergalactic Championship Regatta (WICR). Arizona Yacht Club for having its annual Birthday Regatta and Leukemia Cup that allowed the WICR to go on in conjunction. The races seemed to be well run and the dinner was great. Ron Oneal for giving us some racing and Lake Pleasant pointers, being so nice about our sailing performance, and providing good company at dinner. Sal and Gail Glesser for bringing our new mast and boom from Sage Marine, helping sponsor the event, and for the very entertaining conversation. Dave Scobie for getting our new mast and boom together for us and getting it to the WICR at Lake Pleasant and for putting together the fantastic WICR awards. Mike Mann for the wonderful story about his trip to Hawaii on his Montgomery 15, Little Breeze, for signing my copy of the book, and answering a lot of questions over dinner. If you have not purchased the book A Little Breeze to the West, you need to. It is a great story that celebrates our little boats. Jerry Montgomery for creating and building the boats that give us so much pleasure, take us so many places, and bring us together. David Grah and Michele RhewBishop CaliforniaMontgomery 15 - Sky

Introduction...

Hello All! I recently purchased an M17, and of course have been lurking and learning all along. The boat was originally "Selkie" and the next owner re-named it "El Nino". My name is Ivan and I currently live in Gig Harbor, WA and am fairly new to sailing. I bought an older Snipe two summers ago and taught myself how to sail on that. I would love to get in contact with anyone nearby that is knowledgeable regarding M17 or 15s to perhaps come by for a looksie. I look forward to getting to know you all better, and now for the best part of introduction posts.... PICS! Note "Selkie's" custom dodger as featured in Small Craft Advisor #64, 2010..... SWEET! http://ivanpla.com/FunStuff/Montgomery%2017/El%20Nino.jpg http://ivanpla.com/FunStuff/Montgomery%2017/elnino.jpg -= Ivan

Hi Peter, Thanks for asking. She was sold in November into Lansing MI. I am sorry that the MSOG site administrator has not taken it down after several requests to do so. Also sorry for the confusion it has caused you and others looking to get information or to purchase. The site allows you to post an ad yourself, but not modify or delete a posting. I guess house keeping is only done infrequently.

Re: M_Boats: Ida rudder

Every time for 25+ years. I have NEVER trailed with a rudder in place - too much pounding on the hardware, but I guess if the rudder is 'too long' - just lower it and drive.....DON'T do that !

To whom it may concern, I have the old style Ida Rudder on my 17 and plan to sell it for their newer version. If a kickup rudder is all you want than that is what this is. It uses a line to raise the bottom half of the rudder, I use it to hold the rudder blade up just a bit when launching and retrieving the boat. Asking $250 plus shipping. I started with the stock wooden rudder and the shape of this Ida rudder really does seem to add to the performance of the boat. Pictures upon request.

GO, I'm with you pal. I never trailer with the rudder or motor attached. I have a home brew kick-up rudder (the Ida was not yet available) so I mount that before launch with the blade kicked up. The tiller needs to be locked mid-ship to keep the boat from biasing itself while launching. No problem.

Hi JohnI don't know of any. Still some work to do before I can get her on the water.Cheers GeoffCongratulations Geoff! Are there any other Montys in NZ that you know of? I sailed with a guy this past fall in the SF Bay whose brother (IIRC) was somewhere in NZ and wanted one but said there weren't any to be had. Unless you've got a relative in the SF Bay area who owns a Wharram Tiki 21...then maybe that's you...! cheers, John S. __________ Information from ESET NOD32 Antivirus, version of virus signature database 12859 (20160112) __________ The message was checked by ESET NOD32 Antivirus. http://www.eset.com

Notice - Registration closes at midnight Wednesday 1/13/2016 - get it in there if you are racing! forwarded from AzYC post : What do you want for your Birthday Regatta? You can’t have too many parties —there's going to be one at Spinnaker Point Friday night and another at Dillon’s at the marina Saturday night. There will be food and drink and live music. And you can bid on the gifts you’ve always wanted at the silent and live auctions Saturday night. There’s all that and racing, too, in 1-, 2-, and 3-day formats around marks and islands. Registration closes at midnight Wednesday. John Riddell reports that we'll be served BBQ by the new Dillon’s restaurant in the marina. BBQ is their specialty: pulled pork, bone-in chicken, and beef brisket, with sides of coleslaw, mac & cheese, and BBQ beans. They'll also prepare a veggie lasagna as a veggie option. The Cardinals game will be showing on all 11 televisions with Leukemia Cup auction at about halftime. Later: a band. The AYC Board and a lot of volunteers are working to make this year’s Birthday Regatta a great event. Celebrate your yacht club. Support the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society. Your Birthday Regatta only happens once a year, so sign up, show up, and, bottoms up. It’s going to be a blast! I look forward to seeing you there, Chris Smith, Commdore forwarded by GO
