Ken Abrahams here from Lake Charles, La., Montgomery 15, Petite Fleur. I also have a Starwind 19. Both are kept on trailers. I am considering putting one in a berth in brackish water. What problems does one have with the cb and slot crudding up? Is there an easy way to put bottom paint in the slot and on the board? Has someone beached a 15 and leaned it over to work on the board? Other ways? The alternatitive most likely is having the work done in a yard with a lift. Problems doing that? Ken Abrahams
It works fine to beach the 15 and careen it. I'd suggest removing the board (easy), painting up in the slot as far as you can reach easily, and painting the board's leading edge.

Thanks everyone. Good information. With the beach method, is it safe to pull down on the mast or should one lift the keel, or both? How close is the fit in the cb opening?
