I had an M15 but now of an M17. I'm 5'6" and could sit on the cover
over the portapotti and cook supper with enough head room. Yes, I
cooked inside the cabin with an Origo 1-burner mounted on the locker
lid in the port-side locker. Cooked with the weather boards open but
overhead hatch side shut if it was raining.
I went for the larger boat for rough water either sailing or at
anchor, just so I wouldn't bounce around so much. But the M15 will
handle weather well.

We can't change the wind, but we can trim our sails.

Anyone know the dimensions from the portable head locker cabin sole
to interior roof for the M15? Wondering if a West Marine "Go
Anywhere Seat" could be used in the head locker sans porta-potti
and v-berth center cushion similar to the arrangement used in Edey
& Duff's Stonehorse Cutter
The "Go Anywhere Seat" also works well in the cockpit. I have
used them in my previous sailboats. In fact, coupled with a
folding chair as a cushion, they can be very comfortable.
I'm still trying to decide on M15 or M17, new vs. used. I like
the interior and cockpit size of the M17, and I remember that some
of my most memorable sailing was been in small boats, particularly
my CD Typhoon and the family canoe I learned to sail in a few
(actually 50 +/-) years ago. I enjoy thin-water sailing and feel
like I might actually use the M15 more. Plan on doing a lot of
singlehanded sailing, most day, but also hope to trailer sail
around the US.
Appreciate any info you can share.
Thanks,
Mark
