Frequent contributor to the MSOG E-mail Forum is Howard Audsley, owner of this perfect example of a galley model M17. Harold has owner her for about 7 years and began his sailing with a Sunfish prior to the Monty. Far right photo shows several of the boats that were tied up at Vera's in the fall of 2004, for the Hess Rendezvous. The Montgomery Boats from near to far are Seas the Day (Doug Kelch) , Busca Brisas (Tod Mills), then Audasea and Horizon (Al Williams).
Side note about the photos. First, we are fortunate that Howard took some pictures of his galley model that usually aren't available such as the v-berth with cushions & hatch covers removed, side berth shots, etc and second, a couple of these shots were taken with a 35 mm camera and then processed to CD by Wallgreens. The rest are from a digital camera and all came out just fine.
