Factory Brochure

These are the images from the factory brochure. Jean Marie is a Montego 19 with a swing keel instead of the fixed keel with centerboard. The 19's were the earlier version. The swing keel and the hump in the cabin sole are the only differences with the 20's.

The Countdown Begins

Well hello there.  This is the begining of a new Log Book for the sailing ship JEAN MARIE.  She has been neglected for about ten years in the side yard on her trailer.  We trailered her here from Palm Harbor, Florida in 1991 and she has been in the water twice since then.  Her prior sailing grounds were the Gulf of Mexico off Palm Harbor.

I have set a deadline of August 1st for the start of her restoration.  I plan on having her in the water, sailing by the end of August. 

Lots of pictures and sailing stories as I get her ready.  I am learning how to use Blogger as I go.
