The windrider 17 trimaran, a nearly perfect sailboat.
The most versatile sailboat in the WindRider Trimaran clan, the WindRider 17 has features to please just about everybody. With the affordability of this boat we are bringing the joy and pleasure of sailing high-quality boats to as many people as possible. We bring outstanding quality for the price.
The boat is easy to sail and operate. Anyone will have confidence with stability and control. The boats controls are very intuitive. You steer left by pushing your left foot and steer right by pushing your right foot from the comfortable cockpit. Steering with your feet leaves your hands free to operate the sails. All controls are easily accessed and within close proximity of the cockpit no twisting or bending required. The boat is very quick, all while staying extremely dry.
The mast is lightweight and rotates improving performance of the full battened mainsail, giving way to great visibility. The boat is constructed of rotomolded polyethelene which is very durable and less maintenance than fiberglass. The 17 is so easy to trailer it slides on rails to be put on and off the trailer and can be towed behind most vehicles. The launch and retrieval time of the boat for a solo sailor is about 30 minutes and 10 minutes for 2 or more sailors.
This boat offers a fine combination of excellent sailing performance with a comfortable face forward cockpit seating. The sailing capacity is quite large with up to 6 adults. In addition to the main cockpit there is a larger forward cockpit for your passenger and the cushioned seat reverses to face the captain. The optional stiff backed net seats, which are very comfortable and soft, will allow the boat to easily carry 4 adults and 2 kids. The nets are also perfect for lounging and relaxing.
Social or family sailors can spend the day beach-sailing with the spouse, the kids, and their friends. The single-line roller-furling jib makes it easy to tune the ride, offering an easy and stable ride for the youngsters or fast and wet for the teens. The 17′s shallow draft makes it a natural for swapping rides off the beach, or throw down an anchor and furl the sails to create a huge swim platform with lots of places to grab on and rest. The trimaran design makes it nearly impossible to capsize, while giving the ability to go fast.
The WindRider17 is a great day sailer that can be used for extended trips. Camp-cruisers can pack enough gear for week-long adventures into the 17′s covered, dry center cockpit, or use drybags and pack it on the trampolines and take a passenger as well.
Performance sailors can add the optional Turbo Reacher kit for an adrenaline rush that'll make the jet-skiers envious.
This is what's included in one sleek, easily-managed trimaran package:
- Fully-battened main sail on a rotating mast
- Roller-furling jib for total control
- Telescoping hull beams for easy setup and trailering
- Trampolines between the hull beams for relaxing or extra passengers
- Foot-pedal steering for single-handed versatility
- Dual cockpit covers

The Sage 17 is the perfect pocket-cruiser! These boats are built with fiberglass mat and cloth, vinylester resin, carbon fiber, and end grain balsa core. The characteristic lapstrake hull provides rigidity, tracking, and wave deflection while the deck is built to last through the years as well.
From the builder:
- Hull and interior cabin liner are made with hand layed fiberglass using all vinylester resin.
- The deck, cabin roof and cockpit are made of carbon fiber and vinylester resin. Horizontal portions of the deck are non-skid and contain balsa core for added strength. This creates a rigid and light-weight structure. The cabin/deck structure is so strong that a compression post is not required. Jerry Montgomery explains why carbon fiber is used for the deck - "Since the deck is well above the waterline, it's anti-ballast. Saving 100 pounds in the deck (and we've saved more than that) eliminates the need for about 200 lbs of ballast to arrive at the same righting moment. Combined this saves at least 300 lbs of weight. It's obvious what this does for performance and for trailering."
- The transom is carbon fiber to reduce weight aft and keep Sage 17 on her lines. A boarding ladder and fixed height motor mount are standard.
- The hull deck joint is an outward flange that is chemically bonded and then through bolted on six inch centers. The joint is capped with a teak toe rail.

A boat with a BN of 1.6 or greater is a boat that will be reefed often in offshore cruising. Derek Harvey, “Multihulls for Cruising and Racing”, International Marine, Camden, Maine, 1991, states that a BN of 1 is generally accepted as the dividing line between so-called slow and fast multihulls.
On our test boat, the optional Tiller Clutch made it a cinch to lock off the helm, and with its pivoting centerboard and kick-up rudder, the Sage 17 inspires confidence in shoal water. It’s easy to like this boat. Anyone looking for a pocket cruiser more or less like this little one should ask for a dance. An important part of the Sage 17’s ...
17' Hunter. 170. 1998. 17'. $ 4,500. An excellent daysailer. The Hunter 170 is a great choice for comfortable sailing either single handed or with up to four adults. A well designed cockpit and generous beam give the H170 the feel of much larger boat while maintaining its ease of sail.

154.00 sq ft (14.307 m 2) Racing. PHRF. 294. [edit on Wikidata] The Montgomery 17 is an American trailerable sailboat that was designed by Lyle Hess as a pocket cruiser and daysailer and first built in 1973. [1][2][3][4] The boat was built in conventional cruiser and flush deck daysailer models. [1][2]
I believe that the M-17 was the first production boat to use end-grain balsa coring in the deck. In the late 70's we made several flush deck 17s, which were a racing version with a flat deck like a Soling or Etchells 22, with no house and a small, self bailing cockpit. This started out as a lark, actually, because a good friend, also a boat ...
A Montgomery 17 has sailed from Cape Hatteras to San Diego, via the Panama Canal. A Montgomery 17 sailed the length of the Mississippi, from St. Paul, Minnesota, to the Gulf of Mexico, and was possibly the first sailboat to have done so. Properly outfitted and prepared, she is a very capable boat. Her beamy lapstrake hull is tremendously strong ...
