I'm very satisfied with the performance of the Elliott-Pattison sails
that came with my 2005 M17. The roller-reefing genoa is cut so that I
don't have to move the jib sheet turning block when I reef.
Having trouble keeping the main slugs attached is the only down side.

We can't change the wind, but we can trim our sails.

Subject: M_Boats: Favorite Monty sailmaker?
Hi All:
Here's a request for opinions for those of you who have replaced
sails...
who is your favorite sailmaker who does mail-orders? (no local
sailmakers in
Chattanooga, TN)
I need to replace at least my main and possibly a jib as well. I've
ordered
from SailsEast before... the price was really good, and the cut and
shape
were fine, but the finish and handwork was pretty minimal. I'd
prefer to
spend a little more and get a well-built, longer lasting cruising
sail. I'm
wondering who else I should seek quotes from.
Thanks very much
BG

Hi Tom,
I've raised my M17 off the trailer bunks using a floor jack and a
cushioning 2" x 6" piece of lumber under the keel. Worked fine.
