The story of Little Breeze

In June 1982, Little Breeze, a nearly stock Montgomery 15 set sail from California, headed for Hawaii. Mike Mann, her owner and sole passenger, arrived in Oahu 36 days later- a remarkably quick passage for a boat of 15 feet. Mike encountered the full range of weather, from dead calm to catching the tail end of Hurricane Daniel. Through it all Mike says the boat "handled extremely well." Of course, the Montgomery 15 wasn't designed for crossing oceans, but the Little Breeze passage to Hawaii illustrates the fact that the Montgomery 15 is a very seaworthy vessel. You don't have to be coastal cruising to be concerned about seaworthiness the safety of you and your loved ones is just as important when you're on an inland lake.

Please note that Little Breeze is sold without the outboard but does come with a trailer and is included in the price. The trailer is an EZ-load with foldable extension bar. Get in and out of the water with the stainless ladder. She comes with seven sails.
