Fran,
I bet you got a little jewel. Back in my other life, I owned a
Montgomery 12. It was a blast to sail, and the quality and lapstrake
design ;-) is what got me interested in looking for another one. That's
after being out of the sailing market for 25 years and discovering that

Yesterday my friend and I took Cherri's Jubilee out for the first
time. We had trailered it to a marina to do bottom paint, change the
pennant, and put in the pivot pin. I also added a red boot stripe, so
now she looks really flashy. We motored out of the marina, turned into
the wind, tried to
Hi Cherri,
The stopper that Giles is talking about is called a track stop and the
kind I use on my M15 is the round 1/2 inch diameter one. In the 2002
West Marine catalog it is shown on page 1018 and is model 108332 for $
7.49. As Giles also mentioned they do go overboard quite frequently so

What's Don Pedro's water level? Last October they reported 80' below
the high water mark
Thank's,

Really, M15

Cherri,
The boom downhaul will keep the gooseneck from popping up out of the
sail slot in the mast. If the boom downhaul is not set, you cannot tension
the luff of the mainsail with the halyard.

away by gremlins --
Rich,
Last week Lake Don Pedro was about 25-30' below the high water mark.
The concrete launch ramps are long and wide, however, so you can drive down
the ramps and turn around at the bottom. It is a long walk to/from the
parking lot, though. Because the lake is large and open, there is
Thanks, Don, (and Giles) for the info. We were actually a little worried
that the mast would go because the shrouds were loose. It was still fun and
a gorgeous evening to be sailing.

Randy,
What time is dinner? Are you planning on eating at Pappadocks on Friday
and Saturday? I hear there is a Cajun style new place on 306. Boiling
Pot home style.

Joe,
I guess we missed the boom downhaul. It was a rather overwhelming day and
there is so much to learn about a new boat. I'm not even sure what the
difference is between shock cord and a bungee but I will look it up in my
new WM catalog. Thanks for the advice.

Cherri,
Congratulations on your maiden voyage. Your adventure sounded very much
like one of my first trips - improperly secured sails led to my being blown
into a narrow swampy inlet from which I was unable to tack out - a stink
pot came to my rescue - the ultimate embarrassment !
There isn't
All this talk about Montgomery dinghy's has motivated me to make my annual
posting about our 7'-11 that is still for sale. Last year I swore that if
someone didn't buy it I would turn it into a coffee table. However, it
dwarfed the sofa and loveseat. Then it was going to be a Jacuzzi bathtub,
but
Here I entreat everyone to send in stuff while conveniently
forgetting stuff I have. I've added a preparation, launch, and recovery
checklist that Lloyd Kelman, whom some of the long-time M-boaters may
remember, prepared when I bought Vixen from him. He sailed quite a
bit around
