M-15 for sale near Orlando, FL, USA
by Charlie Fortner 17 Mar '19

Not mine. I don't know anything about it. This has been popping up in my craigslist searches for a month now. https://tampa.craigslist.org/pnl/boa/d/winter-park-sailboat/6820584763.html This ad has only recently had the manufacturer listed. For a long time it was only listed as a sail boat. It was that shapely stern and lovely lapstrakes that caught my eye as I was scrolling through the pictures.

Rig experimenting

Hey all. Just curious if anyone knows of a lug rigged M15. I think it would be a fun experiment! Not sure if the mast placement would work though. Thoughts? Rusty M15 “Vanilla”

M17 vs M15 (Peter Zimowsky)
by Rusty Knorr 08 Mar '19

08 Mar '19

Hey Peter, My suggestion is keep the 15 at all costs because you will just end up replacing it if you sell it. Been there, done that! If you’re looking for more boat for a 2 week cruise in the islands just charter something. Get a 30 or 40 footer and stretch out for those 2 weeks and enjoy yourself, and especially enjoy the diesel and roomy cabin for the San Juan summer where the wind is light and the sun is hot. Host parties on the boat for bikini clad beauties, just don’t talk about it on the M15, it might get jealous. -Rusty Knorr M15 “Vanilla” www.rustyknorr.weebly.com

M17 vs M15
by David Grah 08 Mar '19

08 Mar '19

Not to take issue, but I believe my 1985 or 1986 Montgomery 15 has steel ballast and it has never caused a bit of problem nor bit of worry from me. I would acknowledge that lead ballast might be preferred, but would dispute that it is the only way to go. We love our steel ballasted 15!

Some thoughts. Lead ballast boats, only way to go. I had an 1985. Bought her knowing board was stuck. Wasn?t a huge care. Would get around to it someday. Maybe. Where I sail, board would be up most of time. Worked on board once in a while, never making progress. Sailed her a couple years until, I decided to take one of the many outstanding offers to buy her at the local ramp. New owner was fully knowledgeable of stuck board but didn?t care either.
