Reroute M15 Mainsheet
by Kearns, Kevin P 04 Nov '14

04 Nov '14

The mainsheet on the M-15 leads from the boom down to the block and cleat located at the forward end of the cockpit near the centerboard line. This is perfectly convenient for me, the skipper, but I notice that if I have crew aboard they must step over or around the sheet when moving from side to side. Has anyone rerouted the sheet, moving it aft a foot or two on the boom and then straight down to a block installed on the cockpit floor, thereby leaving space for the crew to move unimpaired? If yes, any advice on how to do it? I am thinking that I would first fasten (epoxy plus screws) a wood square to the cockpit floor, then attach the new block and cleat with screws or recessed bolts. Thanks, Kevin M-15 #518 "Scout" >

A great sail
by Rick Davies 02 Nov '14

02 Nov '14

Sailed a two-boat, 8-10 mile race on the Potomac yesterday against an AMF 2100 that usually (that would be almost always) beats me, but we were sailing in a sustained 15 kts, gusting to around 25. The AMF was struggling, while we forged ahead under a single-reefed main and a partially rolled genoa. I'm always blown away at how easily the M17 sails under those conditions, even in the short, steep chop the river throws up in a breeze. Just puts her shoulder into it and keeps moving ahead. We made a steady 4 to 5 kts to windward and around 6 downwind. The competition was barely in sight astern as we crossed the finish line. Just wanted to share. I've had the boat for 7 years, and she never ceases to amaze me. Rick M17 #633 Lynne L

Would you like to 'win' a Montgomery 7-11 sailing dinghy in a raffle???
by GILASAILR＠aol.com 02 Nov '14

02 Nov '14

It WAS a rumor - now it is substantiated! - A Montgomery 7-11 Sailing dinghy is to be raffled for 'pennies' at the 2015 WICR event - 'faux legalese' qualifying criteria to be met: 24 - changed to- 20 boats registered in WICR FLEET and on the line for at least one race at the 2015 WrinkleBoat Intergalactic Championship Regatta & Ran-Tan. Total number of raffle tickets limited to the number of participating boats -$1. per (if someone would like to pony-up for an additional donation to theLeukemia/Lymphoma Society - PLEASE do.) A ONE in 20 CHANCE! All the proceeds will go to the LLS in the name of the WrinkleBoat Fleet. (If you would like to support Leukemia/Lymphoma Society please sail one of the Leukemia Cup Regattas or check our WrinkleBoat fundraising page.) Additional details as the scenario gets complicated by some 'JD types' or accountants - the boat goes off to raffle when there are 20 or more registered and sailing - let's hope it stays 'simple'. Let's show our support for the Leukemia/Lymphoma Society We have been the largest fleet in past regattas - this is hoping to put us over the top - Small boats and a BIG fleet! This year there were 12 boats in our fleet - bring a friend and win a boat- - ANOTHER WrinkleBoat for YOUR fleet! Montgomery 7-11 sailing dinghy complete with rig,sail, daggerboard and rudder/tiller - used condition, as-is where-is at time of raffle. If you register in the next 20 minutes you will get 2! - just pay additional postage and handling charges...... Have Fun, Come Sail in January in the 2015 WICR & R-T GO
