Hi Wayne,
I've tried to find other Omega 14 owners on the internet . . . not much
luck, so it's nice to find another owner who's willing to communicate.
My boat is from '82 I believe. We bought it from an old fellow who
moved into an assisted living facility. He hadn't sailed it for quite a
few years and the part to hold the centerboard in place is missing.
I've jerry-rigged something with a dowl and a rope around the mast to
keep the centerboard in place, but it is less then ideal. I was
wondering if you could give me the measurements of that part and
perhaps a picture of what it looks like. We love the little boat, we
can fit all 5 of us (2 adults, 3 children) and had a lot of fun with
it already (bought it in Sept. this year). We still have a Banshee
(~12ft, cat-rigged), which is not nearly as roomy, dry or forgiving for
family sailing.
Looking forward to your reply. Regards,
Jan

Hi Jan
Glad to hear you have a Omega, I
have one also, great little boat mines a '78, also have a Sunfish of
indeterminate age, and a '76 M17.
Sometimes if i'm going to a place
where I know there is little wind (most state parks for example) I'll
take the Omega, it does well in light winds.
Regards
Wayne

Subject: Re: M_Boats: Gas filling..
We have one of those gas cans described below. It is wonderful! Never,
ever spilled gas anymore! The only downside is that it doesn't work on
cars, only on lawnmowers or other similar gas tanks.

Hi. We're new to the list ... own a 1974 Montgomery 17
that has been restored and has some improvements. I noted the item
about filling tanks on small motors: Briggs and Stratton makes [or
made] a one gallon can with a patented fill tube that shut off
automatically when the receiving tank was full. No muss .. no fuss ..
no bother. I think they are still available at good lawnmower shops
etc.
