Hi, I just joined the mailing list and would like to introduce myself. My name is Steve and I currently own a 1981 Pearson P26 [anyone interested in buying her?]. Unfortunately, my firstmate [and lifemate] has gotten increasingly uncomfortable on the water and I am not prepared to single-hand the P26. We sail on the Great South Bay on the south shore of Long Island, NY. Winds there are typically around 10-12 knots during the summer. However the bay is shallow in many spots and you have to watch where you're going. I was surfing the web for daysailers that I could single-hand and trailer when I came across the Montgomery site. Looks ideal to me. I would like to get a closer look at an M15 or M17 is there is an owner in the area. I should add that I spend part of every week [M-Th] in Rhose Island, in case there are any owners on Narragansett Bay. With a stout little boat like a Montgomery, I might even be able to entice my mate back on to the water. happy sailing, Steve
