Welcome to the list George!...
Both the 15 and 17 are fantastic boats. Without exception, the best
boats in their
size range.

Hi,
Having recently and reluctantly parted with an old Catalina 22, I have
been looking around for something smaller, easier to pull, store and
single-hand, but strong enough to handle some stiff wind. My ideal
boat would be easy to rig off the trailer, have a cabin/interior large
enough for an overnight or two and be fun to sail. I live in Santa
Rosa, Ca, which is within an hour of San Francisco Bay, Tomales Bay and
Clear Lake and I want to be able to sail on all of them safely and
without a lot of fuss.
One day this summer, while sailing out of Richmond Bay Marina, I
spotted a really pretty little lap-strake boat (I think it had a pale
yellow hull) that was among a small fleet of West Wight Potters in the
harbor. At first I thought it was a new kind of Potter.
Finally, after searching the net for a while...discovered that what I
had seen was a Montgomery (15 or 17? Don’t know?).
So... Here I am, wondering if I have found the kind of boat I’ve been
looking for. Joining this list is, hopefully, a first step for me to
find out. I subscribed to a C22 list after I bought my old Catalina
and found it immensely useful and entertaining, but often wished I had
subscribed before buying the boat: might have ducked some issues (rusty
cast iron swing keels are a real pain!). I’ll browse the archive and
ask some questions and see what happens...
Hope this wasn’t too long-winded...
