Thanks for the advice about the sail stop. My baby did not come with one. I have been using tape to hold the sail in place. As soon as I read about getting them at West Marine, I ordered two. Agree with Connie, I tie as much down as I can -- sooner or later everything lands in the water. Can't tell you how many motor keys I've lost (attached to a floater no less). I would like to see another Monty 15 in my area. Anyone out there from Connecticut or near? In the winter I get down to Venice Beach - Anyone in that area? Pictures are OK but I would like to see your rigging up close. I have a few questions. Bonnie [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Send montgomery_boats mailing list submissions to [email protected]

When one drops on deck, it immediately makes a big leap into the next available body of water. Now, you can either keep replacing sail stops; keeping spares on hand for when they hop, or, .... Use a piece of 1/4" bungee cord wrapped twice around the mast and tied in a square knot. It keeps the main sail slugs in place; is easily moveable; is almost instantly removable; and costs only a fraction of what the grasshopper / sail stops cost....

Once I also used it to move an M17, with 5 adults in the cockpit, up the Thames river against the outgoing tide. Again, no problem.

I did have the companionway slats in though. I never though about dropping the sails and firing up the trusty Honda. The only difficulty is fighting down the sails when single handed in that kind of sea. I've tryed heaving too but it seems to work better to drop the jib first, then pull the main down most of the way, sling a couple uf bungie balls around it and head to the dock to clean the sails up.

Probably a little more if I slowed it down a little. I bought 3 gallons this year and uses one of them on the famous BEER cruise with the trailer sailors. so 28 MPG is probably right. I vote for the Hohda. its air-cooled (no flushiing in water tanks) and weighs 28 lbs ( I keep it in the shed at home to keep it from being stolen) so its easy to carry and mount. No water pump of shifter to fail. ALWAYS starts.
