That's the thing, Tod... Eeg won't give me a hull number! I suppose that way, he can point to what ever boat is halfway done and say "your's is over there!" At the beginning of this "deal" I requested and he agreed ( he agress to everything but does not comply) to send the origination papers for the soon to be built boat (since I technically paid up front) but has never come through. That's wht I always sign the e-mail with the boats name and hull # ??? Chuck

Hi Howard, Amazing. I have seen this posted several times, but each time the server is overwhelmed with traffic and the pictures are booted off. The photo files are large. Speculation is this tug boat accident happened in the late 1970s in western Alabama. Note the hounds tooth hat as worn by the former 'Bama football coach. My guess is this is the US highway 43 bridge near Demopolis on the Black Warrier river, just before it joins with the Tombigbee. Judging from the shadows, the bridge seems to run north and south, and most bridges in the area go east to west. The river follows a horseshoe course at that point. The bridge sign seems to start with "DEMOP". Of interest to me because I was born in L.A. (Lower Alabama!).

Tom, While refurbishing the fiberglass on my boat, I found that the Penatrol does a great job on the aluminum toe rails, too. They were very dull and faded and are bright and shiny now. Just wipe the Penatrol on with a rag, let it sit for a minute or two, and then wipe it off with a clean, dry rag before the stuff gets sticky. Larry Y. M17, #200 Tullamore

Tom: Rebed the teak with Boatlife marine caulk. It's the right stuff for your dry environment. It will seal the water out and cure without water in it's atmosphere. I sail in Phoenix and have used it for years. It can be removed later if needed. Sandy

Hello and Welcome, Vicki & Terry, it's good to have you. The cp16 was the only other boat I considered before I bought my M15. Seems to be a good solid boat. What year do you have? I too sail the Great Lakes (so far primarily southern Lake Michigan but I hope to travel a little farther afield someday, when I've got a little more experience, and a little more time. (I'm afraid the scenery to be found around the southern half of Lake Michigan pales in comparison to more northerly spots around Superior and Huron.) (Ahh, so many places to sail, so little time!!)

We are small boat sailors. Sailing a com-pac16, on Lake Arthur, Moraine state park, north of Pittsburgh Pa, & Lake Erie, [bay].

M15 and Windmill
by Ken Abrahams 06 Mar '02

06 Mar '02

Someone on the list said that they also had a Windmill. Well, now it is two of us. I picked up Windmill hull 2895 today. I owned two other Windmills years age and finally changed to other boats because the 'Mill was too athletic. Must be senile because at age 64 I have another. Plan to put a furler on the jib and use it in light winds. I'll use the M15 other times or my Hobie or PocketCat 18. Anyone know what happened to the Windmill web site?
