double-plus-plus and a thumbs up for all of Don Casey's books. the 'Gugeon WEST Epoxy Manual' Connie refers to is another excellent resource. you can download the sections for free here - http://www.westsystem.com/ss/use-guides/ :: Dave Scobie -------------------------------------------- > > On Tue, Oct 15, 2013 at 8:50 AM, Thomas Buzzi <thomaspbuzzi(a)gmail.com > >wrote: > > > >> Recently ordered Don Casey's book, "Sailboat Maintenance Manual". ... > >> Fair winds, > >> Tom B, > >> M17 #258

M15 Fathead mainsail for cruising?
by Tyler Backman 13 Oct '13

13 Oct '13

I saw Jerry's article in the new small craft advisor, and am wondering if you guys think a full batten fathead main would be suitable for cruising in an M15? Also, who makes a good M15 fathead mainsail? I'm torn trying to decide on a mainsail because I'll be mostly cruising but also appreciate good performance. I'm a big fan of the Pardey's books, and they recommend no battens at all for a cruising sail- as it lasts longer and can be dropped easier without going dead to windward. Any suggestions/experience are welcome! Tyler

Hello out there in Montgomery country. My boat trailer has a second trailer tongue with ball receiver mounted on the end right next to the regular one with which I tow the trailer. Does anybody have experience with this second trailer tongue? It looks like it will slide out further than the main trailer ball receiver. Is it just there for emergency at the launch ramp such as when you can't gain enough traction to pull the boat out or is it to be used whenever you launch or retrieve the boat? I am considering having a new trailer made of aluminum and am wondering if it is worth the expense of duplicating this second tongue configuration. Fair winds, Tom B M17 #258

Hello All. Surely a sail maker could easily sew 2 ft onto your short sail. I had the same experience when I bought a Compac 16 from a fellow who sailed exclusively on Chesapeake Bay. I suppose he wanted a sail with a permanent “reef”. RTH.
