RE: M_Boats: New M-17 owner Questions

This bungee and finger cleats setup is called (I don't know why) a 'Willie Reef' - It is a quick way to get the mainsail under control until you have time to straighten things out.

Something like a long bungee would run down one side from end to end through the fairleads, then when the sail was lowered to the boom, the cord would be stretched over the sail and hooked to the finger cleats on the other side, creating a zig-zag crossing over the sail. I thought of installing a system like this, but decided I didn't want all the hardware on the boom.

Re: M_Boats: another small boat advantage

Hi Doug, Now that's having egg on your face! Anchor dragging, while the crew were eating; ...........and there was nobody on watch to see what was happening? Incroyable, as the French would say! Now the M15 doesn't have a wine cellar with 600 rare bottles (I keep those at home - in the dark and avoid motion and temperature variations) but the M15 can easily carry a dozen bottles for a cruise. If I run aground, I don't have to call on tugs for help. A push pole (or boat hook) usually does the job; and if I'm really hung up, then unload the boat (get in the water) and push........... Works every time. The owner of "Mirabelle" has bragging rights at the Club bar, but, ......... we have more fun! We don't have personnel problems; a crew that is un seamanlike Can get under most bridges Can easily get from one cruising area to another What we need is a nice color photo of Mirabelle on the rocks, and put it in our M15s as a reminder that smaller is better and to give us a laugh.
