our Cerulea M17 #32 is pictured in the Yager sail and canvas ad in this months issue of 48 north magazine.
Cool...! Page 18, lower left, for those wondering where to find the ad. You can view the current issue online (in an awkward little interface, but still, it's free): http://48north.com/the-magazine/ Nice to see a near relative vintage M17 (I have Pajarita M17 #38) looking so good! cheers, John S.

I know this question has been asked before, and apologize for the repetition. I am thinking of replacing the wire/line main halyard with an all rope line on my 2007 m-15. What is recommendation for line, size and length? Will the sheave at the top of the mast need to be modified? Mike Hettlerm-15 anne bonny
Mike: if you like the length just duplicate. if want a little longer add a few few. always better a bit long the too short! ;-) the mast, if to Jerry's spec, is 19'2" including masthead fitting. you can use this as a method to measure your current halyard. 1/4" double braid is fine. now, if the wire to rope is in good condition i would recommend keeping ... less stretch that results in better main sail shape (the luff doesn't elongate as much causing the sail to bag). a wire-to-rope jib halyard really helps keep a headsail from bagging at the luff. the masthead sheaves, if the correct ones for wire (meaning the wire didn't damage them), are fine for 'rope'. -- :: Dave Scobie :: former M15 owner - www.freewebs.com/m15-named-scred :: M17 #375 SWEET PEA - www.m17-375.webs.com On Wed, Feb 10, 2016 at 9:27 AM, mrh219--- via montgomery_boats < montgomery_boats@mailman.xmission.com> wrote:

Thanks Dave, I had a similar question about the sheaves - my M17 has had all-rope halyards - sounds like it will work OK, same deal on M17? And - what about using Dyneema or equivalent "no-stretch" cord for halyards, or at least for replacing the wire part if it's beat? Or did someone already post about that, pardon me if I missed it, have been buried in mail lately. thanks, John S. On 02/10/2016 03:51 PM, Dave Scobie wrote:
