I see that Mark Escovedo has a bowsprit on his flush deck M17 "Amy" He has pictures posted on the MSOG site http://www.msogphotosite.com/m17amy.html Doug Kelch also has a bowsprit on his gaff-rigged M15 "Seas the Day"

Bowsprit on an M17?
by Bruce Ward 10 Feb '11

10 Feb '11

Has anyone built or added a bowsprit on their M17? I want to add an additional furler for a geneker forward of the furling drum on my genoa. There is not enough room for both between the fitting and the pulpit. I envision coming forward of the pulpit on a sprit to gain clearance for both and avoid wrapping things. I already have a masthead crane fabrication outlined to avoid halyard wrap with the forestay extrusion. thanks , bruce

Stan; Can't help with an M-17, but should you decide you'd like an M-15 might be right for you, mine is on the Saginaw Bay, season permitting. She's not for sale, but would be happy to give you a ride. I don't know of any M-17s in this part of Michigan. Ron, #249, near Saginaw In a message dated 2/9/2011 4:21:54 P.M.

Happy Holidays Listers..... I just received in the mail the Christmas present I bought my M17. It is a 30 watt solar power briefcase from a company called Goal Zero. They have a fabulous line of outdoor battery packs, cables, solar panels, and inverters.View the panel I bought at: http://store.goal0.com/index.php?p=product&id=14This will be a great addition to topping up your boat house battery when you away from shore power exploring the wild wilderness. I'm looking at all the snow outside my window, thinking about pleasant boating trips that await me...... Go small, go now....
