I wrote to the editor of my favorite American magazine, "Sailing", and asked him to feature the Montgomerys. Because Montys are older designs, he didn't seem too keen on covering the boats themselves, but said he would very much welcome pocket-cruising article submissions featuring the boats.
If any of you who contribute cruising adventure stories to the MSOG site are interested in being published in a mainstream magazine, I wrote to: Adam Cort ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) Deputy Managing Editor Sailing Magazine 125 Main Street P.O. Box 249 Port Washington, WI 53074 Adam's response to my inquiry was: Thanks for the input regarding the Montgomery 17 and 15. They look like neat boats and I would love to see them get more coverage in our magazine. Because they are older designs they are not especially newsworthy in and of themselves, but they could be the perfect vehicle for a pocket cruiser story. In fact, cruising stories featuring smaller boats like the Montgomerys are something we are very much looking for. You wouldn't by any chance know of any writers/sailors who might be willing to give something like that a try? Or, do you know of any Montgomerys that might be available for use/charter that a writer could take out for a cruise? ----------------------------------------------------------------------- I have a hunch Adam might feature the M boats themselves, were someone to submit an article. It would pretty cool if one of "Sailing's" staff were able to use/charter a Montgomery for a cruise article, wouldn't it? _______________________________________________ http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/montgomery_boats
