Congrats! If you are up to it visit the Mboaters at the Wrinkleboat Ran-Tan on Lake Pleasant AZ weekend after next (MLK weekend). Jerry will be there so you can talk talk with the guy responsible for and built the boat. http://wrinkleboat.webs.com/ :: Dave Scobie On Jan 8, 2016 11:05 AM, "David Rifkind" <drifkind@acm.org> wrote:
My father-in-law is giving me his Montgomery 17, which has been out of the water for ten or twelve years. I’ve sailed but never owned a boat, so this should be interesting. There’s a bunch of refitting to do but it is mostly quite sound. I’m sure nearly everything I’lll want to know is in the list archives so I have some reading to do, but wanted to say hello.
We are in Tucson; not a sailing mecca but within reach of Mexico and Southern Cal. and a few lakes. I learned to sail long ago around Oxnard and Ventura in California.
