Hi Listers, LEPPO is sold and at this moment is rolling North to her new home in Montpelier, VT.
She was bought by a young couple who will be sailing primarily on Lake Champlain, but also on all the other larger lakes that are up in that area. Neptune was right when I met him this summer. The time has come to down size, and to start enjoying a more sedate and less strenuous rowing and sailing life with my new Shellback dinghy. Most of the little details that needed fixing, or refining, are completed. Shaw & Tenney's new 7'-6" spoon blade oars have been tried out and found totally delightful, and now to try out the sailing rig and see what modifications will have to be made there. One thing I already know is that the trailer I got with the Shellback is massive over kill. It weights twice as much as the Shellback does ( and maybe more). So, next step will be to order an aluminum trailer and reduce total weight. I'll keep lurking and add my $.02 occasionally. Joyful sailing everyone. Owning an M15 has been a great experience, and for it's size, it's the best boat out there. Jerry you did a marvelous job designing and building the M15s. ....and thanks for introducing me to Foster's Beer. It was a great aid in locating the C/B trunk leak, and in the repair process.
