Rick, I haven't had any other input so far on the keels thickness. If you could get a measurement on yours that would really help me out a lot. Get some more pics of your refurb process while you're at it! Thanks. Sean

Sean, mine is up on blocks so I could go down and measure it tomorrow (Monday) if you need me to! I was looking up at it last week and I would guess between 1" and 1 1/2". I am off the next couple days so let me know. Rick

I reduces the picture quality some what so if you want the originals let me know and I will put them on a CD. The site is _http://members.cox.net/dkelch_ (http://members.cox.net/dkelch) The CBC 2005 was on the funtigo site Hi Doug, After the holidays please make a CD of both the Maine cruise and the CBC. I've chosen a minimum size for all of my enlargements at 1024 X 768. I'm told there arent to many of the old 800 X 600 monitors around so I like to make the photo match the monitor. I will make thumbnails of each shot to link the enlarged ones to so as to accomidate the dial up connections just like I have in all the rest of the albums. As a result I will have to group photos from authors together so as to keep credits with the photos. That's not a problem and It's do-able. If you have them stored by author, please put them on a CD that way and I'll make alot less errors. Thanks so much for the offer. I look forward to being able to put the albums together. Regarding bandwidth. Just a note to make sure and read the fine print on the bandwidth... I'm sure your server wont charge you overages. But If I go over mine they charge extra. When I bought that part of my space, I opted to not let that happen. Can you imagine 400 Gigabytes monthly. I'll be amazed if I even get close. Thanks again, BIll

Cruises...

Hi All, I would like to add more albums of other 2005 Cruises: Who would be the person to give me permission on the Maine cruise? And I lost the URL to the photos that Doug so kindly added to his new site. There is one shot in there of a dinghy up close with a Monty off in the distance that looks like a post card. Also, I recall there was maybe one or two other cruises that I should put on the site. Who has the info and who has the pictures? And, was there a CBC this year? Come on fess up... don't make me play the peer pressure card! (just kidding) Bill _www.MSOGPhotoSite.com_ (http://www.MSOGPhotoSite.com)

Hi John, Thanks for the acknowledgement. It's only worth it, when it is appreciated. By the way, I liked your comment regarding the CDI. I've used furlers on large boats (very handy) but never considered the effort involved when trailer sailing. Because of my intended use I am not going to get one either. Thank you for mentioning what you went through (saved me some $) Bill

Re: New M-15 additions Sands, I got a new M-15 (Bella) in December 2004, and love it. Opening ports are great, as are cam cleats instead of clam cleats for the jib sheets. I had a CDI roller furler, then removed it. I find it easier and quicker to step and unstep the mast, and pin and unpin the forestay, without messing with the floppy roller furler foil, and like the simplicity and purity of a halyard raised sail. A colored hull is great (though you'll need to get handy with gelcoat repair), along with contrasting/complementary cockpit cushions. I like consistency, and had Bob install stainless steel horn cleats to match the stainless steel trim on my opening portlights. I also had Bob make my cabin hatch covers and head cover of teak plywood, to match the exterior trim. My genoa is the factory standard 110%. I've added a red 200% asymmetrical spinnaker, now, and it's great fun and beautiful. I like having my two foresails. I removed the jib and mainsail halyard horn cleats from my mast (and filled the holes with grey epoxy), and lead the halyards back to the cockpit to cam cleats. This eliminates two items on my mast that my jib sheets constantly got hung up on on tacks. Fun choices that you have, Sands! Sincerely, John
