Gary, Appreciate info. Thanks. Mark Gary M Hyde <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: 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. --Gary Hyde 2005 M17 sailboat #637 'Hydeaway 2' We can't change the wind, but we can trim our sails.
