Jeff:
Thanks. We have a place at Conkling Park at the south end of Lake Coeur
d' Alene where my M15 spends much of the summer. There is a group of us
Montgomery owners that get together to cruise the San Juan Islands in
June and Lake Cd'A in August. The San Juan trip is coordinated and
planned by Larry Yake in Deer Park. You might want to check out the
MSOG sight for the 2005 pictures.

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.
