Welcome!
On April 25, 2009, I purchased Sweet Pea. She is a 1983 Montgomery 17, hull number 375, built by Jerry Montgomery. The sail plan is a mastheaded sloop. The cabin has a small 'cubby galley', v-berth and 1/4 berth.
Lyle Hess states about his design, "I am extremely proud of our Montgomery 17. [The boat is] fast, able, and comfortable vessel ... being stable and extremely closewinded in open waters."
This site will cover my travel, thoughts and projects playing, sailing and working on this, my second Montgomery sailboat (my first was Scred, a M15).
RECENT SITE UPDATES (29 Sept. '09):
TRIPS page updated: late September '09 cruise in South Puget Sound.
PHOTO GALLERY updated: pictures from the late Sept. '09 South Sound trip.
More pages, details, thoughs, etc. will be added as I learn more about Sweet Pea and sailing an M17.
