Most of the sailing with Carol and friends has been at White Bear Lake in Minnesota.  Visions of trailering to remote and beautiful locals as well as warmer climates during the winter months are in mind.  Look closely and you can see the reflection of the tiller handle in the companionway from the Lexan Hatch Boards Perry fabricated.  Some effort and the Tangerine factory gelcoat came out looking very nice.  The collectors item 1964 Mercury 4-horsepower outboard runs and looks like new.

She was on a sales lot for over a year and a half as Perry Bolin considered her.  I suppose he thought if she waited this long she should be his.  Not new to sailing,  Perry has Captained a CD-27 and a Typhoon,  while Carol Abrahamson,  Perry's sailing mate honed her skills aboard a Buccaneer.  Both are convinced the M-17 is the perfect solution to economical and fun sailing.
