I lived in Honolulu from 1956 to 1967, lived on a house boat at Ala Wai Yacht Harbor
for most of that period, have may memories of McWayne Marine, (in those days we referred to it as the
"jewelry store", ref: high prices).
Did you keep your boat at Ala Wai?

Subject: M_Boats: Fixed keel
Hello to list! I've just been observing since I subscribed to this list. I
subscribed because I owned an M-17 years ago. I bought her at McWayne Marine in
Honolulu in 1976 and lived on her for almost 2 years there. I named her
Woodstock, after the bird in the Snoopy cartoons. I had learned to sail hanging out
with a friend who owned a documented motorsailer named Snoopy, and since I was
always tagging along with him, it was the perfect name for her. I had so many
wonderful times on her I wouldn't even know where to start talking story
about her! I now own a Com-Pac16 in East TN. My questions are, when did Jerry
Montgomery start building these wonderful boats and how many were fitted with a
fixed keel? Woodstock had a fixed keel on her and was an awsome little boat.
Thanks, Doug Rinaldo
