re: 1981
Larry,
I have a 1981 M15 and they are solid. The only thing I've done
to this one is replace the standing rigging (Jerry Montgomery built it
at a reasonable price.)This is our 2nd M15, both 1981 models.

Mr. G, what year is your M-15? What can I expect from an M-15 built
in
1981....have you heard any negative comments on those hulls from that
year?

Hi all,
Just wanted to crow a bit after getting back from a single-handed,
heavy
wind day sail on Clear Lake (CA). It was a blast: this is why I got the
M15!
The only casualty was my Windex which, piece by piece, fell to the
deck. The
poor little plastic thingy just got blown away.
No idea how much wind there was, but there were whitecaps and wind
waves and
I sailed with both the main and jib reefed, and me hiking out like I
was on
a dinghy. When I got tired I'd just heave-to and sit there, safe and
comfortable while the wind howled.
One of the nicest things about sailing by yourself is that there is no
one
around to bear witness to your bonehead blunders...like letting the
hauling
end of the main halyard blow to leeward like a long pennant when
you're
trying get the sail up. Oops. Or letting the jib get wrapped around
the
forestay because you weren't fast enough with the sheets on a downwind
jibe.
Oops again.
Bottom line, though, is that in spite of my lubberly foolishness, the
boat
forgave me and showed me time after time that she is sturdy and
remarkably
seaworthy.
