My guess is that you will love your M15. I sure have enjoyed mine. Just as good as the boats are the folks on this list. Forward any specific handling/rigging questions, and you will get plenty of response! Scott M15 #478 'bebe'

Don, I have to agree with you about the M-15 hull: It's sublimely beautiful, the prettiest hull I've ever seen up close. Pictures do it no justice. Steve Tyree P-15 #2098 "Amy Ann"

Carol and Stan, Thanks, just got your e-mail. Getting online is a problem, and basically it happens only when I am in a motel. The whole get-to-gether in Monterey was great, met some really good people and some great sailors. The races were fun and Miss T was hauling butt all day. I would like to race again next year but it seems unlikely. John
