Hi Tod..!
Great photos, thank you. I do remember that aft cockpit Nor'Sea 27 I built in 1983....the only reason I remember it, is the "kelly" green stripe they ordered. It still has that special look after 21 years. :-)
Just finished another set of M_15 and M_17 that are available. No waiting.
Fair winds, Bob

I hope someone will take the time to write up a tale for our reading pleasure. Thank you, Larry for your San Juan report. Maybe someday Busca will return to the scene for some more sailing up there. I'm planning on adding one to my web page (with some photos of scenery and chart excerpts) in case anyone would like to get a further idea of what it is like up there. I too had a fine time although I stayed in no marinas and ate in no restaurants. The weather was exceptionally cooperative as well: rain one evening after I was in for the night and a half-day of rain the last day there. Otherwise sunny blue skies.
When I returned to the Little Current marina I found that a Nor'Sea 27 had been launched. Bob probably remembers building her. Her home port is in New Jersey and the owner bought her new in '83. I didn't quite get her name, but it's J. __hawsingham from _ollingswood, NJ. Now that I look again at the photo, I could kick myself for not taking the owner up on his offer to get a closer look at her because I see she is an aft COCKPIT model instead of the more common aft CABIN model. I haven't been aboard an aft cabin model yet. I was a ways away and didn't notice that she was an aft cockpit model. Rats!: http://www.bright.net/~htmills/NorSea27.jpg
As an aside (commentary on the community of the boating world), he knows Anne Westlund who sails her Potter up there! I know Anne only via the Trailer Sailor boards.

Stan,
My boat was advertised as a "1982" model when originally sold at the 1982
Houston boat show but the hull number is MMP151840881, meaning it was built
in August '81. So it really isn't out of order.
We missed you at the Chesapeake Cruise this year. There were just four of
us, but unlike other years, all four stayed together for a full week. Great
cruising grounds up to Chestertown and back to Kent Narrows. Other than
docking and rafting, I didn't motor until the last 2 miles back into Kent
Narrows! Only two nights in Marinas and restaurants for dinner three
nights. Most of the storms missed us. Great trip.

Larry,
The web page you were referred to shows it too - your is: Montgomery Marine Products 15' Sequence # 819 built in December 1981
Mine was built in July and was #177 - I wonder if your number is correct since I don't think Jerry turned out 642 boats between July and December. #189 perhaps ?? The highest 1981 numbers on the Montgomery Register http://www.msog.org/ are 191, 192 & 194 although Bill Rikers' 1982 "Storm Petrel" is #184 ??????
Stan M-15, #177, Carol II
