In my experience with the M15 and both old and new generations of M17, the CBs can be noisy, especially running in light wind or sitting at the dock or at anchor with the board down. Reaching they're fairly quiet, but I suppose if it was wild enough, you'd get some knocking about. I'd think a little water in that area would be pretty common, so long as it isn't excessive, although I can't recall that ever happening with my M15. Have you sponged it dry and let the boat sit for a week or so to see if there's an accumulation? t On Mon, Sep 26, 2011 at 6:54 PM, Robert Hall <bert.hall@rogers.com> wrote:
Hello All, Am a new M-15 owner, very pleased with my boat built in 1981 and sporting the original sails no.121. Have had a dozen outings in the last month in all weathers. The centre board in some wave conditions seems to knock against the trunk, I think in a lateral motion since the pendant is properly set,. Is this a normal occurrence with the M- 15 ? Also I tend to accumulate water in the deep spot behind the trunk and have to sponge out every few days. Any idea why.? Having owned DS- 16, Siren 17’s and Compac 16’s ,none compares with Jerry Montgomery’s little marvel. Each sailing session is a treat.
