Another M15 on Whidbey! Mine is parked over on Sunlight Beach (Useless Bay) while I am sail-less down here in Fresno for the winter. Bobbie

Bill S.: Which J?

22? 24? 80? 100? 105? I dropped a polite line to the J-Boats folks, asking them to design and market a trailerable J-Boat (the 22 does NOT look like fun to rig, launch, land, and unrig regularly). Polite, uninformative response, and nothing more. I love my M-15, but a truly trailerable J-Boat would be fun to consider. John Bella (M-15, 628) La Jolla, CA

J boats are excellent but they are not in the 15-17 foot range, just interested in what I might have missed when I got a M17 ************************************** See what's new at http://www.aol.com

If someone knew of something better I would be curious as well. Yes, I think a person could have a custom designed and built boat that would be 'better' and more specific to the owner, but as for a production design I think Lyle and Jerry pretty well nailed the 15-17 range. I entertained the thought of building what I wanted prior to buying the 17. Even down to initial consultation with a favourite designer. But in the end, the M17 was so close to what I had in mind it was silly to consider. I have built, modified and repaired boats for a large part of my life, so building one is not a big stretch. And having sailing the pants of my 17 for two seasons now I can say I am waaaay in love with this boat. The design performance and construction level easily exceeded the high expectations that I had before finding #367.
