chris & julie:
welcome to the Mboat family!
my thoughts on the M15 in relation to "Julie Suzanne" -
* LED lights: cabin, running, anchor
* run the halyards aft - foredeck on an M15 isn't fun.
* downhaul isn't hard. don't 'overbuild' as the M15's jib is small. (pictures
available upon request.)
* the 'power' of the M15 rig is in the main. spend money on a double reef main
before getting a 'storm' jib.
* as gary stated ... there is no backstay on the M15.
* my M15 has jib car tracks on the cabin top (pictures available on request).
the jib is small and all lines run inside the stays. if you want a bigger sail
install tracks on the toe-rails.
* the discussion about 'cockpit drains' on the M17 don't work with the M15 ...
the centerboard line 'hole' is the cockpit drain.
* my M15's cockpit lockers had been removed. i have LOTS of storage as a
result. i place my ground tackle in the starboard 'locker'. easy to access.
others use bins in the cabin or bags for the rode on the 'foredeck'.
