First, thanks all for weighing in on the 'smell' issue. I will be replacing the hatch and cushions this weekend and that will probably tone down if not eliminate the smell. I feel more comfortable knowing others have experienced it with their boats.
The big news is I have rigged my M15 for the first time with the help of the very able Mr. Bones (thanks again Bones). That was a thrill! everything seemed in good shape and the only things missing are the main sheet and a batten in the main sail. We stole one of the reefing lines (I think that's what it was) to use as a temporary main sheet. Bones assured me that all was well and in good shape. I'm pretty excited. Bud, if your monitoring this list, she looked real sweet all rigged up. I remember last fall when I bought the boat from you being a little overwhelmed with all the "stuff" this little boat has and doubting that I really wanted to do this sailing thing. You told me not to be overwhelmed, that it would all get sorted and be ok. Well after today I'm feeling pretty good about my purchase. Much more to do. I need to get this boat in the water! I need to learn how to tie a [EMAIL PROTECTED]&^% bowline. I need to go to bed. later, Dan M15 #500 _______________________________________________ http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/montgomery_boats
