Hello! I am now the proud owner of a 1981 (#163) M-15, purchased from a fine fellow and sailor, David Wood of Ashland, OR. David has certainly set me up for sailing success, as he not only patiently explained the ins and outs of M-15 rigging and launching but also did a beautiful job of restoring/maintaining my 'new' boat. I took her out for my initial sail in Holmes Harbor here on Whidbey Island (approx. 45 miles NW of Seattle) last Friday. What a treat! I look forward to learning from all of you, re M-15 features/ capabilities and sailing/cruising tips. Cheers! —Steve on Whidbey
Hi Steve, Congratulations on becoming a Monty owner and welcome to the web group. You will get much pleasure from her. I recently purchased my second M 15. I owned one in the 1980's and sold her only because our family got larger and we needed a larger boat. Now that I'm retired and it's just Judy and me, I bought another one. Do you live and sail on Whidbey Island? From photos I've seen, it's beautiful up there. You can plan sailing trips around all the San Juans and beyond. You'll have to keep us posted on your sailing adventures. Regards, Ron Casino M 15 #646, "Spirit" --- steve pearse <sspearse@whidbey.com> wrote:

Ron, thanks for taking a moment to send on your congrats! My wife and I are semi-retired educators who escaped the metro Seattle area for a 'beach house' on Whidbey several years ago. Although she's a bit wary of joining me on the boat, it's her fault I'm sailing at all, as she purchased sailing lessons for me last summer at the Lake Union Center for Wooden Boats. We overlook and have dock access to Holmes Harbor, located just a mile by sea to Camano Island. I look forward to gaining some sailing skill and confidence during the remainder of the fall and again when spring arrives. At any rate, I know that I have a safe, seaworthy craft that I can stick with over the long haul. Thanks again for your e-mail! —Steve Pearse On Oct 1, 2007, at 11:47 AM, judy casino wrote:

Welcome to the M15 club. I just bought my M15 a couple of months ago and also love every minute on it. The owner I bought it from could not explain to me any of the ins and outs of rigging since he has not used the boat in years. My son and I studied pictures posted on the owner's group web site to figure everything out. I think we did a pretty good job but I'd like to hear any rigging advice that was passed on to you, especially if it is written out. Also to everyone in the Seattle area, please let me know if you want to plan a trip. The San Juan trip posted on youtube looked fun but I'd like to sail with a few folks close to Seattle every now and then and share tips in person. Around Whidbey sounds fun. Good luck again.

Hi Steve and welcome to the group,
From the pictures I've seen of David's boat, he did a great job!
I have #159, have just retired, and I am looking forward to a lot of boating. Hope to see you on the water!

Thanks very much for those positive words, Steve. Retirement—even though for me is now in semi-state—is good, especially when out on the water! —Steve P. On Oct 2, 2007, at 6:58 AM, Steve & Diana Parsons wrote:
