I use a wrist rocket slingshot and ball bearings - quiet and effective. cheers- Shawn Boles Grey Mist (M17 #276 1978) -----Original Message----- From: Conbert H Benneck [mailto:chbenneck@juno.com] Sent: Friday, July 12, 2002 2:20 PM To: montgomery_boats@mailman.xmission.com Subject: Re: M_Boats: (no subject) Steve, Thanks for your great description of sailor's nirvana. I can just picture it. But as sailors, we have to pay for our fleeting pleasures, and it sounded as if the Big Toll Taker in the Sky was working overtime in your case. Recommendation: one quart oil containers filled with gasoline are great for stowing, and for refueling the Honda in a bouncy seaway. They are easy to aim, easy to pour, and a lot easier to hold than a gallon container with a spout. Two of them would have kept you going almost all day........ There was an article in the Hartford newspaper about a Connecticut man who builds cannons. He started making regatta starter cannons, but now has branched out into replicas of old naval cannons of almost any size you might need or want. Which leads me to think............ a small cannon mounted on the foredeck of the M15 for use against PWCs. It might be a nice Sunday sailor's sport, but is probably illegal, and certainly not PC! But what would you use, grape shot? or chain shot? or bird shot? Connie _______________________________________________ http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/montgomery_boats
