Re: M_Boats: Water through centerboard hole
by Jazzy 18 Nov '16

18 Nov '16

Oooh, looking at the pics, mine has been "altered". The corner of the trunk is roughly cut out and the line exits there. It doesn't have the clean, neat plastic sleeve. It's just a biggish hole. Also my winch is to the right of the cleat, so the line has to go over the cleat and then down through the hole. The water doesn't drain anywhere, just sits on the sole and tries to rot the wood at the base of the v berth. So I towel it out.

bottom paint redux
by Daniel Rich 07 Sep '16

07 Sep '16

OK, assuming now I need bottom paint, and I don’t want to do it myself, where in the SF Bay Area would be a good place to do it? I live in Sonoma County, but I could drop the boat off somewhere to do it. Daniel Rich M15 #208 "Kestrel" danielgrich(a)gmail.com

1) BBQ 2) m23 speed
by Josh Bloom 29 Jul '16

Just curious what the preferred grill mount is for the m23 if you have the little round magma one. I see Dauntless had it drop out and down just a hair off the stern on starboard side. (Can see on you tube under dauntless) Can an m23 do 8 knots ... In shore costal on lake Minnetonka.... I just restored one but have never sailer her! I think according to Bones it will do about 6.5. Any other m23 owners have any thought to add here? Ps how many m23 owners are in Minnesota ... Are there more than two.?.? Fair and fresh winds to all of you.

Franken Batten Update #2
by Jazzy 28 Jul '16

28 Jul '16

Today brings a bit firmer winds, not sure how much. No white caps but 5he surface is disturbed and I'm showed 7.5 kts with current. Franken Batten is holding sure. In 5he pic, its the middle one. So far I'd have to give it a super cheap and fast fix thumbs up. As an aside, I spent about 5 minutes trimming the sails, then I locked the tiller tamer and sat on the bow for 23 minutes before I got bored. If you don't have one, really it's well worth the money.

Maybe if I were not old enough to be his grand-pa I would still have the strength and agility to do it myself, but aging takes a toll on all of us. We do it on the side, because if I paid the marina's fees it would be about 4X more expensive.

Sail
by George Iemmolo 24 Jul '16

24 Jul '16

Sailing today wind from the WSW blowing 12-19 k steady gusting 25 increased to 20-25 steady gusting 30. Was able to keep her on her feet with full Main centered on boat. Sailed to east end of lake Wing on Wing. Tacked back to Marina with wind on the nose. Wind shadow prevented any attempt to sail into slip, motored in. Took instrument board home to add Cell phone holder so use of sailing app SailDroid will be improved. Will also add gimballed cup holder ordered from Defender. .T Merry Helen II 96 M15 #602 George "We Can Not Control the Wind But We Can Adjust Our Sails"
