Montgomery 16' Kat Bote- Guy Light's Modifications

Montgomery 16' Kat Bote- Guy Light's Modifications

[@quasarcom5041]

That is the smartest design for a tiny sailboat I have ever seen.

[@fish-hawk5903]

Masterful prioritizing, redesign and fabrication. Almost all small cabin boats have designs that make two or more crew eager to go home. How many designers plan to make the soloist genuinely comfortable? This gentleman gets it.

[@charleswhitehead7441]

Absolutely fantastic. The hours he has put into this. Please post a video of it actually sailing.

[@tonyhill3786]

Very nice trailer sailor, a lot of bang for your buck in that one.

[@grahamwick2700]

What nice man with a nice boat 👍 so good and very well done these people are what makes the backbone of sailing in sea

[@delpierochilipeppers]

This absolutely Stunning! Seeing what you've done to that awesome pocket boat, i Can't imagine what you could do to a Catalina 22! Cheers from France.

[@yorkcity55]

Beautiful. I am inspired. I just purchased a "17 from "74 that needs some TLC. Thank you.

[@felixcat9318]

What an absolute pleasure it is to see such a well considered and executed series of modifications on this lovely compact cruiser. The sheer innovation is matched by the superb craftsmanship that's gone into fulfilling the designer's ideas, modifications and updates. The combined effect is to improve every aspect of the boat, be it sailing, reclining or cooking! Thank you for sharing this delightful little gem of a boat and its marvellous Captain.

[@stevensoutdoors]

I had an opportunity to see this boat at the 2018 Monterey Bay Cruiser Challenge. Everything looks very well put together and very well thought out.

[@kennethcrilley467]

What a compact, fully utilised wee craft. Loads soft must haves, seemingly built or invented by the owner. Beautiful inside and out.👍👍👍👍

[@velchuck]

Absolutely amazing. I want a small sail boat that can easily accommodate overnight sailing. You have given me some GREAT ideas. Many thanks.

[@kawonu2666]

I am looking to get a boat like this for local lakes to camp out on. I hope I find one this nice.

[@kimhansen8615]

Man, this is just so well done - Thought and design! Bravo.

[@ibcontent]

I just saw Guy Light yesterday. He is a thinker, planner, designer and builder. He has a new lift system to raise a boat, 10' 100lb. to the roof of his vehicle. Did a short video taping of it. If it comes out well I will post it soon.

[@daveevans8256]

Fantastic design, well planned out, well made, great job. 👍🇬🇧

[@littlejohnny47]

Thanks for sharing this fantastic set of modifications to a very small pocket cruiser! Great thinking and execution!

[@n176ldesperanza7]

Beautiful job.

[@davidfuller764]

That kitchen galley is clever

[@AaronBrand]

I was waiting to see where the scooter gets stowed on the boat! I’m liking this set up. I might consider one of these someday!

[@Granbjam]

Great ideas, wow now I can deam for my nest boat !!! You are brillant man!

[@1949dodgejm]

Nice funeral home music Really soothing

[@michaelmiller6062]

Brilliant layout. Nicely done.

[@davidharlem6824]

A beautifully equipped boat, clever innovations and meticulous work. Love it!

[@collarandhames]

This is such an inspirational video! Thanks for sharing ! So many great ideas! Cheers from Ontario!

[@davidfuller764]

Delightful, thanks

[@rolfpiotrowski4325]

Compliment for this big bunch of clever solutions! Thanks for sharing! I guess, here shows up a lot of experience! 😎👍

[@robertcarleo6846]

Yes I was a bit confused but I can see some differences in the centerboard and stern seat. I like this boat and will be looking forward to buy a used Sage Cat 15 if I can find one. So far no luck. I think you did a masterful job on your modifications.

[@brandtdetering8486]

That is one of the most well thought out boats I've ever seen. Thank you for sharing it.

[@Mojokiss]

t-nuts I learned something new. what a great man

[@richardbreisch8049]

Wow, well done thinking that all out. Beautiful workmanship!

[@lawrencepearson4362]

those modifications are impressive , the chair is fantastic.

[@travelbywater9378]

That chair is awesome. I have gotten used to sitting cross legged in the bilge of my boat. Good stuff.

[@ibcontent]

Travel By Water - the chair is great for sure.

[@yellowdogadventures]

Nice work!

[@anthonylyle7709]

THAT ...is the best outfitted little boat I have ever seen. Very nice. I am going to use a few of your ideas. Thanks.

[@mikek.4655]

Truly amazing!

[@kenaf4157]

[@ibcontent]

Chris Miner Guy has a lot of talent it is very patient and thoughtful with what he does. He is also great with wood.

[@northseacowboy]

This guy is clever and neat!

[@Champsvisions3d]

Wow 😮 very nice job!

[@GulfCoastTim]

Wow what a well equipped boat! I never seen a 16 like this, for one thing the interior is impressive. This little boat can certainly do some cruising.

[@Mauriciomel1]

Wonderfull job. Thank you. From Brazil.

[@user-hd1eb4yv7l]

Wow! very nice... Thank for your ideas.

[@flatbedtruckingsamrides.9355]

Bought a 19' mfg, roomier cabin than my semi sleeper that I live out of. Many great ideas on your beautiful craft. Years I have lived vicariously through others, now gearing up to do it.

[@ibcontent]

Sounds great!

[@curiosoneee]

very nice !

[@henriqueduarte6193]

Barco extramente criativo e a musica do vídeo simplesmente fantástica!

[@jerryseymour2738]

Sweet!

[@Bierdaddy1]

Beautiful boat. You have done some mighty fine work on her. Mind if I borrow an idea or two? Cheers!

[@aerwyna9710]

Beautiful Boat!

[@marcocezarj.matias854]

Wow. Top master. Congratulations. Very beautiful boat. Marco Matias . Rio de Janeirio . Brasil

[@tubeguy8888]

I really like your tiller tamer. I might try this on my com-pac 25

[@tarcardoso]

Maravilhoso e muito criativo. Parabéns.

[@MrAlMcN]

Really good ideas, and will use, if you don't mind, on my boat also. Thank you

[@user-fq8my1eo6v]

Здравствуйте. Крутая яхта! Моё сердце покарено! Видно что проектировать и создавал человек с большими, огромным, опытом. Ничего лишнего и всё самое необходимое. Я долго раздумывая, но после просмотра ролика у меня нет выбора. Хочу приступить к постройке подобной яхты. Осталось самое малое! ЧЕРТЁЖ! Ну или ссылку по этой теме. Ещё раз спасибо за этот ролик!

[@seayak]

Lots of great ideas here - some that I will incorporate into a Shilling 17 yawl that I am currently building. Where is the battery on your boat? There are some nice rigging details here too that might be worth another video.....

[@professionalguy9346]

Well done Sir! Way to utilize space, just wish you had played beach boys or something more upbeat music was rather depressing, I’m looking at buying a cheap 17.5 footer and modify it, it’s nice to see what it can become. I appreciate the video!

[@nakedlakedip57]

Sweet boat

[@_Branawesome]

What was that on the tiller? Looks very useful!

[@josephhunt2478]

awesome boat I have monty 15 love it

[@57samurai]

Superb 👍

[@Vilaviana]

Muito Bom!!! Parabéns!!! Fantástico!!!

[@fatcat7msk7ru]

Very compact and foldable interior, reminds me Corbin Dallas flat from The Fifth element :-)

[@ibcontent]

Good point! Haha

[@abrahaocampelo6139]

🇧🇷 O melhor do mundo... 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@sergioalbuquerque8992]

Very good...

[@tomluque]

You are very ship-shape and thoughtful. I look forward to your feedback on your MastGate and cleat cover.

[@toddlong8672]

Bravo

[@peterlange4029]

Craig - it looks like the BIG difference between your boat and Guy's boat is that you actually sail yours, and Guy's spends too much time in the garage being modified. Good on you fo getting out there and creating adventures on your small boat!

[@ibcontent]

He does sail but doesn't do vids of sailing. Not to be too personal, but he is a care giver to a loved one. That makes travel harder. We were with them recently, (he has 18 boats), he had a Hobie catamaran one day, next day a 10' alum. power boat.

[@motosmotr]

Человек, сделавший такую планировку, просто гений. Моё глубочайшее уважение. Привет из России.

[@hansolo7205]

I really like the idea of carrying a scooter for exploring!

[@thedrummersclub3667]

I guess it just doesn't get any better than this.

[@ibcontent]

That's what I think, also.

[@henriqueduarte6193]

Very good
