Jerry, I do own and love our M15. My dad also customized a M10 when my brother and I were really young and the whole family used to sail in that all the time. It was great. We had the 17 too like you said and all four of us would camp out in it. It sort of became the official start boat for a lot of the Prindle Cat races. I was just at Joes Crab Shack in San Diego and they have a large painting of omy brother and I on the bow of our M17 at the start of some race. Someone must have had a photo to do that. I wish I could buy it. Although I was raised on boats I didn't really take to sailing as a teen and hadn't done much until I got married. Now I have two kids and I love sailing again and hope to give my kids the same excitement and learning experiences I had gotten from sailing and being on and around the sea. What's really cool is that the same boats appeal to me as they did to my dad. Good design and ideas last. I never met you Jerry but my dad has always said great things about you. Hope he doesn't talk your ear off after months of self induced isolation. Thanks for creating great toys that We enjoy and bring my whole family together. jP Sent from my iPhone On Mar 17, 2011, at 5:33 PM, montgomery_boats-request@mailman.xmission.com wrote:
