Re: M_Boats: Jib furling line routing on M17

Randy, If you since sold no worries, I probably own her now; that's still her name and the fairleads are mostly still in place, though the roller furling has since been removed. If that was your boat, I'd love to hear any history you may be able to share. I'm curious about her history. Or maybe just a coincidence?

M-12
by Thomas Howe 29 Apr '18

29 Apr '18

Just bought a 1969 M-12. Now to learn the details. Has a new jib, will probably need to buy a main, the Armstrong one that is with it is probably the original. Lots of cleaning, polishing (very oxidized finish) and generally puttering around with it in my future.

Sorry to clutter with this, but I got an email from an Anthony Betts inquiring about an M-12 sailplan. My responses have been kicked back, so if you’re on this list, send me a phone # and I’ll call you with details.

Jib furling line routing on M17
by John Schinnerer 24 Apr '18

24 Apr '18

Hi all, Those of you with a furling jib on your M17 - where/how did you route your furling line? Pictures appreciate if available. And, how happy are you with it, would you change anything that would make it better (more convenient, simpler, less likely to foul/snag/trip over, etc.). thanks, John -- John Schinnerer - M.A., Whole Systems Design -------------------------------------------- - Eco-Living - Whole Systems Design Services People - Place - Learning - Integration john(a)eco-living.net - 510.982.1334 http://eco-living.net http://sociocracyconsulting.com

M15 for sale
by George Burmeyer 21 Apr '18

21 Apr '18

M Boaters, I have been a long-time lurker on this list and a sometime contributor. The time has come for me to sell my M15 and I want to give folks on the list the first chance to buy her. I have lavished a lot of attention on this boat over several years and she’s all set up to sail away. She comes with more gear than you need: Newer sails including a main with two sets of reef points, a fantastic storm jib, whisker pole, two anchors, chain and rode, all CG safety gear, bimini top, Honda 2HP iron jib (short shaft), dock lines, all rope halyards, original porta-potti,, 3 piece teak hatch boards (plus the original 2-piece boards, tiller extension, tiller clutch and more. She sits on a Trail-Rite trailer that has been professionally modified with a 6 foot tongue extension and an outboard mount and has new rollers, a guide-on system and new bunks. This boat is located in in Santa Rosa, California, where it has been stored under cover for the many years I have owned her, so her hull and deck are in better than good shape. 1985 Montgomery 15 #385, cream hull, blue stripe, is for sale for $4500 with all accessories in sail-away condition. Please contact me off-list if you are interested. Pictures available on request. I will be putting her up on the MSOG site soon, and then on Craig’s list. Thanks, George
