David,
To keep the boom throat from dropping during reefing etc: You can buy a
fitting that fits into the boltrope track below the boom and has a knurled knob
to tighten it. Try West Marine to order online.

M17> > We set sail on the maiden voyage of our M17, Excursive, this past
weekend.> We put in at Jackson Lake, WY and had a wonderful 2 day sail on the
lake> with the Tetons in the back ground. We live within several hours of
Jackson> Lake so will sail there on weekends until Yellowstone Lake opens for>
overnight stays. I have several questions for the group.> > > > 1. Concerning
the front stay and jib, we hank on our jib, it falls> short by 12" or so from
reaching the top of the mast. I was wondering what> others have done to length
the tack cringle attachment. This is where the> jib attached at the bow deck
point.> > 2. I need to adjust the main sail boom so the sail does not fall out>
during reefing or taking down the main sail. Any ideas? On our past sail> boat,
Nimble 20, the boom was fixed to a point on the mast and this was not> an
issue. In a strong wind, it's a bit unsettling to have the main sail come> out
of the track.> > 3. When we were out Saturday we noticed another Montgomery 15
or 17,> to far away to id, motoring on the lake. If anyone has info on the
owner we> would like to know.> > 4. We have the burp issue as well.> > 5. As
far as accommodations, my wife and I slept in the v-berth and my> son, 19 and
6'4, slept in the quarter berth. We all had plenty of room. New> boat, first
night out there's always plenty of room, we'll see as the summer> progresses.>
