Gary:
We have a sailing club near Kettle Falls, WA that maintains a dock with
moorings where I keep my boat. Lake Roosevelt is 150 miles long from the
Canadian border to Grand Coulee Dam. We are about 100 miles up lake from
the dam. Two summers ago my daughter and I sailed to the dam and back.
This year my wife and I took a vacation and went down the lake to the
Spokane River fork about 60 miles south. We enjoy it - lots of nice coves,
beaches, rocks, mountains, wildlife, swimming, and fishing.

Chris & Jeff:
I grew up ~20 miles from Lake Roosevelt in Almira, but I haven't actually
sailed that lake. Where do you like to sail on it? (It's only like 200
miles long!)
Regarding narrow side decks on the M23, try the ones on an M15! Actually,
they are not a problem. You use them as toe rails and walk with you heels
outboard, especially when wiggling around the shrouds, which are outboard
of the toe rails on the hull on the M15. I'm looking forward to the M17
which, as you said, has the shrouds inboard of the side decks/toe rails.

I also noticed the narrow sidedecks in pictures, and since I haven't seen
or been on a M23 I can't speak from experience.
But, I also noticed the shrouds are attached to the cabin side and not
the hull. This seems to make getting around the shrouds
and up forward a bit easier than if they were attached to the hull. And
the added space below is very appealing as well.
Since I am a new member, I live on Lake Roosevelt in Eastern WA where I
keep my boat (Halman 20). I have also sailed in Idaho, Maine, and the
San Juans.

For those of us fortunate enough to have seen and been able to crawl
around
on an M23, from a distance they look like the 17, up close they look
like an
ocean liner...both inside and out. And they sail like......well like a
Montgomery.
My only question about them is the side decks, which are kinda narrow.
For
those of you who currently sail one, or have sailed one, is this even an
issue to worry about?

Hello to all, I have just found the montgomery site and signed up. I
presently own a Halman 20' and have been interested in moving up to a
larger
boat with more room for wife and child. I have "fallen for" the
Montgomery 23
and am interest in buying or trading up for one. It looks like I might
be in
for a long search as it seems they are few and far between. Anyone
interested
in the Halman 20' - or could steer me in the right direction for a
possible
purchase of a M-23 let me know. I'll be looking.
