Posted By: Doug B Date: 4/20/11 12:00p.m. Report: outside forum guidelines I'am going to buy a new Montgomery. I sail with my wife and once in a while a 3rd adult will be going along. How is the m15 for 3 adults? We have mast up storage so size isn't an issue. I really like the 17 as well. I will be singlehanding on some Saturdays and plan on a furler and lines running aft. Thanks for any advise.
