Is the M-10 the smallest ever Monty??

Lots of old Minto's in the northwest. In fact, I have two that I'm restoring. They're a classy little 9 foot lapstrake design, with teak gunnels, seats, and breast hook. They tow and row very nice, and are supposed to be great little sailers, although I don't have either one ready to sail yet. I'd trade them both for a nice M-10.
