  1. Losing Sleep

    31 posts · Joined 2007. #1 · Sep 28, 2008 (Edited) I have been reading everything I can about these two trailerable pocket cruisers, and am distraught over which to buy. Sanibel 18 supposedly has better sleeping space... Montgomery has better self righting abilities and sails more stiffly, which would please my little ones.

    I believe that the M-17 was the first production boat to use end-grain balsa coring in the deck. In the late 70's we made several flush deck 17s, which were a racing version with a flat deck like a Soling or Etchells 22, with no house and a small, self bailing cockpit. This started out as a lark, actually, because a good friend, also a boat ...
