Hello Mark and welcome aboard! I have always been a fan of the Alberg boats and the Typhoons. I have not sailed a Ty, but I have sailed her bigger sister, a Bristol 27, on SF Bay. You will not find a finer small boat than the M15 or M17. They both sail like a dream, fast, responsive, and comfortable. My M17's cockpit is almost as large as the M23's. Launching and retrieval is almost as easy as a 16 foot fishing boat, especially if you have installed keel guides on the trailer. You may need to do some searching and waiting to find your M-Boat, but believe me, your patience will be rewarded.
Good Luck and keep all of us posted. Michael "Bones" Bowden M17 #92 M23 #75 _______________________________________________ http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/montgomery_boats
