I guess the new ones have a loose footed main any thoughts on that
change?
Hi Christian, A new M-15 will come with loose footed main and with sail
slugs. In my opinion both have made sailing much easier. Not only for raising
the
main and reefing but also makes sail shape easier to control. Such as
loosening the outhaul to make the sail more efficient on a down wind run or
tightening the outhaul for spilling the wind when it picks up. Hope you are
able to
go ahead with your plans for a new boat. Sure makes it easier when the changes
you would have made to an older boat are included with the "new and improved"
model. Bill M-17 "Tipperary"
